Emotiva XPS-1 - Installation and Configuration
Connecting the XPS-1
You should connect the XPS-1 to your turntable using good quality, well shielded
unbalanced (RCA) audio cables. Some turntables include permanently attached cables,
which should work fine. The important thing to remember is that a phono cartridge puts out
a low level audio signal, which is very sensitive to noise and interference. If your turntable
provides the option of selecting your own interconnects, then there are a few guidelines you
should follow for best results:
1) Place the XPS-1 as close to the turntable as is practical. (We don’t specifically
recommend mounting or placing the XPS-1 on the turntable itself, but positioning it within a
few feet is a good idea.
2) The interconnects between the XPS-1 and turntable should be kept as short as
possible. If your turntable is located some distance from your other equipment, use short
interconnects between the XPS-1 and turntable, and longer interconnects between the
XPS-1 and your other equipment.
3) Use well shielded high quality interconnects. The capacitance of the interconnects
between the cartridge and the XPS-1 will affect the way your turntable sounds. Many
cartridge makers (especially MM cartridges) recommend cables with low capacitance,
while some specifically recommend the opposite. We suggest that you choose low
capacitance cables unless the maker of your cartridge says otherwise. Choosing an
interconnect to go between your XPS-1 and your preamp, pre / pro, or receiver is less
critical, and any high quality interconnect should provide excellent sound.
4) Avoid running power cables or speaker wires near the interconnects going to your
turntable. If interconnects must cross other cables, they should do so at right angles.
5) If your turntable provides a ground wire, connect it to the ground lug on the XPS-1
(next to the input connectors).
6) Position your turntable and the XPS-1 as far as possible from major noise sources
(microwave ovens, air conditioners, PCs, cordless phones, etc.) Especially avoid running
interconnects to and from the XPS-1 near such devices.
Plug the XPS-1 AC power supply into a convenient AC receptacle and connect the power
lead to the Power input on the XPS-1.
If, after connecting your turntable, you experience hum or noise problems, the most
likely culprit will be the interconnects between the turntable and the preamp. See the
troubleshooting section for some suggestions to address such problems.
WARNING: The XPS-1 draws very little power, and is intended to be left powered
continuously (it doesn’t have an Off switch). We strongly suggest that you plug the
XPS-1 into an UNSWITCHED outlet. The XPS-1 may generate a very loud transient
at its output when power is connected or disconnected, so you should always make
sure that any equipment connected to the output of the XPS-1 is turned off (or all the
way down) BEFORE connecting or disconnecting power to the XPS-1. Failure to do
so could damage your speakers.
