OPERATION MANUAL MODEL : ZMA - ZEN MYSTERY AMP
REV 1 MAR 2014
Input Connections
The ZMA comes standard with single-ended RCA input jacks rated at 2 volts for
maximum power. Transformer balanced XLR inputs are optional and located
directly next to the RCA input jacks on either side. If your amp was built with these
you can use either balanced XLR inputs or RCA inputs but not both at the same
time.

With professional grade equipment featuring differential or transformer balanced
outputs we recommend having your ZMA built with the balanced inputs for best
sound. For example, on our studio mastering reel to reel tape machine there are
only transformer balanced outputs. Although these outputs can be converted to a
single-ended RCA jack the tape machine will not sound as good that way. On a hi-
end DAC with both balanced and single-ended outputs, the DAC will sound good on
either as will the ZMA.
