Connection and getting started
15
1.
Unbalanced input: This is the standard input for all common analog sources in the consumer elec-
tronics field. Here you can connect the source by means of the RCA cable (“B”, see chapter 12)
which is part of the accessory kit.
2.
Balanced input: To this input you can connect sources which provide balanced outputs, such as
HighEnd CD players or professional mixing consoles. The input provides a combo-jack (XLR jack
and 6.3 mm TRS jack).
Signals which are applied to the balanced input are mixed together with signals which are applied
to the unbalanced input (1.).
3. and 4.
Digital inputs and parallel output, compliant to S/PDIF standard: These inputs can work with signals
according to the S/PDIF standard (optically = TOSLINK and coaxially), which is used by most de-
vices in the consumer electronics field.
The digital data stream contains both stereo signals (left and right). By means of the switch “5” the
channel which should be reproduced has to be selected.
5.
Channel selector switch for the digital inputs (3 and 4): If you would like to drive the powered
speaker with a digital signal source, you have to select the reproduced audio channel by means of
the channel selector switch. In a stereo system you should make sure to select the appropriate
channel at each speaker.
6.
Master gain control: By means of this control you can select the amplification factor of the powered
speaker out of 3 common studio levels. In a stereo setup you have to make sure that the controls
of both AM 200 are adjusted to the same level. Otherwise you will gain an unbalance between the
two channels.
7.
Selector switches for several sound adaptations: The AM 200 comes with a 5 position selector
switch for adapting the sound to special room conditions or to personal gusto. For examples, please
also refer to page 17.
The position “LIN” stands for a linear frequency reproduction without any location equalization. The
2 positions left of “LIN” should be used for a listening distance of appr. 2 m (“MF” = midfield). The
position “MF / OW” additionally provides an equalization for a positioning close to a wall.
The 2 positions right of “LIN” should be used for a listening distance of appr. 1 m (“NF” = nearfield).
The position “NF / CO” additionally provides an equalization for the positioning on a sideboard or a console (“CO”
= console).
