9 PREAMPLIFIER
NOTE: Because of the way our XLR and balanced inputs are configured it is not
possible to use both XLR and RCA at the same time.
4. INPUT SELECTION SWITCH
This switch next to the CD XLR input is used to select the pair of CD input sockets
required as described above. Moving the switch UP selects the CD RCA input
connections, while DOWN selects CD XLR input.
5. HT BYPASS INPUT
This input is for use specifically with home theatre processors. In some circumstances
you may wish to use the power amplifier connected to the Kaitaki as the front two
channels of a surround or home theatre environment. The HT Bypass input can be
used for this purpose, as any signal connected to these inputs can be sent directly to
the power amplifier bypassing the preamplifier entirely. It is accessed by the remote
control or the trigger input.
6. OUTPUT
The Output connections are provided to enable the Kaitaki Preamplifier to be
connected to an external power amplifier. Use either single ended RCA or Balanced
XLR. DO NOT use both.
7. LINE OUT
These RCA outputs are located next to Pre Out and are provided to interface to
headphone amplifiers, line level recording devices for archiving, or other accessories
that require a line level signal. The outputs are always live with the signal of whichever
source is selected at the time of recording.
8. GROUND LIFT SWITCH
This switch allows the signal ground to be disconnected from the chassis. In some
installations a hum loop may exist due to duplicate ground paths from different
equipment. Use this switch to remove the connection from 0V to ground thus
allowing some flexibility in your particular set-up.
9. REMOTE TRIGGER INPUT/OUTPUT SOCKETS
In order to integrate more effectively into a home theatre system, the Kaitaki
Preamplifier has a remote trigger input socket fitted to the rear panel. By connecting
a processor with a remote trigger signal to this socket, the Kaitaki Preamplifier
can be switched between HT Bypass and standby modes. When in standby the
preamplifier draws less current and will operate at minimum temperature. This may be
of advantage in multi-amplifier and/or remote installations. The Kaitaki Preamplifier also
features a remote trigger output socket fitted to the rear panel. By connecting this
trigger output to other system components, the entire system can be put in and out
of standby by the processor.
