Connecting the Preamplifier to your system
Connecting to a Turntable
You can connect your TL-5.5 preamplifier to the turntable if the unit comes with the internal
optional phono stage. Please check the preamplifier by looking down through the slots on the
top cover and see if there is a PC board mounted on the left side of the bottom chassis. If this
PC board is there, then the unit is equipped with the phono stage.
Select and Connect Source Components
The Input Selection buttons for the preamplifier are marked for
CD, Aux 1, Ph/Aux
2, Aux 3, Tuner, Aux 4
and
Aux 5
and
Tape
. The input connectors on the back panel
of the preamplifier are correspondingly marked the same way.
You can replace and use any of the marked input sources with your own source
component as long as the proper interconnect is used. For example, if you do not have a
tuner in your system, but you would like to connect any other line level source to the
Tuner
input instead, you can do so without any loss of performance. When you select the
preamplifier’s input selector to
Tuner
the preamplifier will play the signal from that source.
If your preamplifier is equipped with the Phono option, please use the Ph/Aux 2 input as
the source from your analog system via the turntable. If Phono option is not installed, the
Aux.
inputs can be used for any line level input source you wish to use. If your
preamplifier is not going to be used with a phono preamplifier then you can also use
Phono/Aux2
as an additional input for any line level source you wish to use.
Connect all source components
(e.g. CD, SACD/DVD Audio, Tuner, DAT, Video
Recorder etc.) to the inputs on the preamplifier.
Before making any connections to the
preamplifier make sure that the preamplifier and the source components are powered off.
Connect the output cables from each of the source components to the relevant inputs on
the preamplifier. For example, connect the CD transport to the CD input connectors of
the preamplifier.
Different sources may provide either balanced or single ended connections, and different
sources will most likely sound different in each mode. There are 2 balanced or single ended
inputs on the TL5.5 preamplifier, and 5 additional inputs that are single ended only, in
addition to the 1 single ended Tape input. Decide which source component will be
connected to each input, using appropriate interconnects for the different sources
If a direction indicator is printed on the cable make sure that the cable is connected to the
source and the preamplifier in the appropriate direction (arrows flowing in the direction
the signal will travel, i.e. from the source to the preamplifier.) It is also important that the
left and right channels from the source components are connected to the corresponding
left and right channels of the preamplifier.
Connect the Phono stage to the preamplifier
. If your preamplifier is going to be
used with a standalone phono preamplifier, connect the output from the phono stage
to the Phono/Aux 2 input channel of the preamplifier.
