Please read and understand the operational instructions and safety issues associated with
this product. We go through great effort to make a soundly engineered and superbly

As with all things electrical, the power cord should be the last item attached to the pre-amp
and the very first cable to be removed anytime you hook-up or remove any equipment from
the signal chain.
The JAE umbilical cable should never be connected or removed without turning the XP-
32 off from the rear panel power switch or by unplugging the AC Power cord. When
installing the circular connector on the JAE umbilical, care must be exercised to fully seat
the connector and bottom the ring nut. The connectors are keyed and can only go in one
way. The larger tab goes to the top. The ring nut is provided with a conventional right hand
thread that should never require any use of force or tools to connect or disconnect the cable
from either chassis Clockwise rotation of the ring nut to secure the connector, counter-
clockwise rotation to remove.
The gain channels may be placed in proximity of the power supply control unit (either on
top of or underneath) with negligible loss of performance due to the extensive shielding
afforded the power supply. Some separation of the chassis is however encouraged. The
umbilical cables as supplied are 1.5m (5ft) in length to allow for convenient component
placement.
The XP-32 draws roughly 70W of power in operation. The pre-amplifier’s actual voltage
and current rating are indicated on an affixed tag on the rear of the pre-amplifier. Please
verify that the indicated voltage requirements of this product are consistent with the
supplied power at your intended point of use.
We have provided a standard IEC AC power cord that fits into the IEC 320 line receptacle /
switched inlet module at the rear of the amplifier. In addition to providing for power cord
attachment this inlet module additionally incorporates a power switch and fuse holder. The
fuse in all cases will be a 5mm x 20mm non re-settable time delay glass fuse. Proper fuse
value is indicated on the back of the amp.
The IEC inlet provides for a safety ground via the AC mains power cord. In addition
to safety this ground is necessary for proper noise rejection. Do not defeat this ground
connection.
NOTE: the “Overload” and “Time Delay” characteristics of UL and CE rated fuses are
not identical. Additionally these characteristics will differ slightly (due to the difference in
