To make the most of the components’ sound poten-
tial, only high quality loudspeaker cables and con-
necting cables, for example Vincent cables, should
be used. Your local stockist will be glad to advise
you about this.
XLR connections
Please note that European and US-American XLR
signal assignments for the connector pins are diffe-
rent. This Vincent preamplifier uses the European
system following the standard AES14-1992. The
cable structure is the same in any case. As long as
both the preamplifier and the power amplifier satis-
fy the same standard, the signal connection is cor-
rect. This is always the case if both units were
made by Vincent. If two units from different stan-
dards are connected, this inverts the signal. In this
case the signal assignment on one side of the con-
nection has to be changed. Your audio specialist
dealer will support you with this.
Protective caps
Prior to the first installation the protective plastic
caps must be removed from all the connections
used at the rear of the unit.
RCA connections
Mechanically identical RCA plugs are available for
analogue and digital outputs. Make sure that you
do not get these connections confused during
installation!
Make sure that you do not mix up the analogue con-
nectors for right and left. The RCA plugs for these are
mostly colour coded as follows: red for the right
channel, black or white for the left channel.
Contacting the middle pin of the RCA plugs with the
outer ring of the RCA chassis jack may lead to dama-
ges to the main amplifier if it is switched on! To avoid
this hazard, connect or disconnect only in switched-
off state and more than one minute after deactivating!
Cable connections
Make sure that all plugs fit tightly. Inadequate con-
nections can cause noise interference, failures and
malfunctions.
INSTALLATION
Set up the cable links in a sequence as follows. Connect the power cable between device
and power supply only after all other connections have been made.
DURING INSTALLATION PLEASE OBSERVE

Bear in mind that the signals into the „balanced“
inputs (XLR) are not being transferred to the REC-
Output (8). For example, it is not possible to make
a recording from a CD-Player connected to one of
these inputs using the recording output (8)!
