nections

Make sure that the power sup-
ply is turned off, before making
any connections. 

Three balanced XLR inputs
marked INPUT 1, INPUT 2 and
INPUT 3 are provided. INPUT 4,
TAPE IN and TAPE OUT use
single-ended RCA connectors.
Connect your signal sources to

Your Sonata-Allegro does also
have a RIAA board ( Legato )

installed you will have an input
more to choose from.

Two sets of balanced XLR out-
puts marked OUTPUT 1 and
OUTPUT 2 are provided. These
outputs allow easy bi-amping or
multi-room operation.

If you are using a Gryphon
Antileon or Antileon Solo power

connect the Green Bias control
link for automatic regulation of
Class A bias to the socket
marked BIAS CONTROL on the
preamplifier and on the power
amplifier. (See menu functions.)
