Starting
Once all connections are made, switch on the unit, using the
POWER
button front of the unit. The
MUTE
LED
will light. Speaker outputs are muted for about 6 seconds, so no sound will be heard from the speakers. Once
the 6 seconds is up the
MUTE
LED goes out, indicating unit is settled, and ready for use.
IMPORTANT: BALANCED/RCA switch
The
BALANCED/RCA
switch (see page 7) is included to minimise noise when using the unit in RCA mode. In
most cases it will operate in
BALANCED
position on RCA inputs with no appreciable audible increase in noise.
There is no harm in operating the unit in this way.
However it is important, that if using the XLR (
BALANCED
) input, the switch
must
be set for
BALANCED
(up).
If the switch is not set for
BALANCED
on an XLR input, a 6dB reduction in loudness will occur and the benefits
of
BALANCED
operation
will be lost.
INPUT A RCA
To use the RCA
INPUT A
, connect RCA source outputs to the
INPUT A
RCA sockets (see page 7). Select
INPUT A
by pressing the
INPUT
select button so
INPUT A
LED is lit.
INPUT B RCA
To use the RCA
INPUT B
, connect RCA source outputs to the
INPUT B
RCA sockets (see page 7). Make sure
the
BALANCED/RCA
switch is set for
RCA
(down). Select
INPUT B
by pressing the
INPUT
select button so
INPUT B
LED is lit.
INPUT B BALANCED
To use the balanced input, connect balanced source outputs to the balanced input XLR sockets (see page 7).
Make sure the
BALANCED/RCA
switch is set for
BALANCED
(up). Select
INPUT B
by pressing the
INPUT
button so
INPUT B
LED is lit.
It is perfectly acceptable to use an RCA source device on
INPUT A
and a balanced XLR source on
INPUT B
and use the
INPUT
select button to select between the two. The
BALANCED/RCA
switch should be in the
BALANCED
position.
Note that the
INPUT B
BALANCED
and
RCA
inputs are
shared
. It is not recommended to use both balanced
and single ended modes simultaneously on
INPUT B
. Loss and/or mixing of signal and/or equipment failure
may occur if both inputs are used simultaneously.
Alternatively, two
RCA
single-ended devices may be connected, one on
INPUT A
, and the other on input
B
, use
the
INPUT
select button to select between the two. For this scenario, the
BALANCED/RCA
switch should be
set for
RCA
(down).
