3 Single-Ended Output
Connect to external power amplifiers or
powered speakers that accept RCA con-
nections, using high-quality RCA cables,
especially for longer runs.
4 Balanced Output
Connect to external power amplifiers or
powered speakers that accept XLR
connections, using good XLR cables. Or,
well, you could use crappy XLR cables too,
but why hold yourself back? It’s not like you
need cables that cost more than the Loki
Max, but some good-quality XLRs really
aren’t that expensive.
1 Balanced Input
Connect your balanced source here, using
high-quality XLR cables. You can use Loki
Max either before or after your preampli-
fier. If using a single source, connecting
Loki Max before the preamp can give you a
lower noise floor.
2 Single-Ended Input
Connect your single-ended source here,
using high-quality XLR cables. As above,
you can connect either before or after your
preamp. We provide shorting plugs for the
single-ended input; remove them if you are
using this input.
5 Power Switch
Up for on, down for off. No tricks here.
It’s perfectly fine to leave Loki Max on all
the time, except for perhaps an existen-
tial feeling of wastefulness for the power
consumed.
6 Power Inlet
Plug the end of the supplied IEC cord in
here. You can also use fancy audiophile
types if you really feel like it, but we’re not
big on the idea ourselves. However, make
sure your Loki Max matches your local AC
voltage—plugging a 115VAC Loki Max into
230V will not be a good day.
