OPERATION

SINGLE-ENDED (RCA) INPUT

To use the RCA INPUT, connect RCA source outputs to the INPUT RCA sockets. Make sure the

BALANCED/RCA switch is set for RCA.

(Trigger and mains leads omitted for clarity).

Note: On the left hand speaker terminals, the two RED speaker terminals are internally connected together, and

the two BLACK speaker terminals are also internally connected together.

Likewise, on the right hand speaker terminals, the two RED speaker terminals are internally connected together,

and the two BLACK speaker terminals are also internally connected together.

The diagram above shows the speakers connected to the “outer” output posts. It is therefore also perfectly

acceptable to use the inner output posts as they are exactly the same connections internally.

IMPORTANT: BALANCED/RCA switch

The BALANCED/RCA switches (see page 7) are included to minimise noise when using the unit in RCA mode.

In most cases it will operate in BALANCED position on RCA inputs with no appreciable audible increase in

noise. There is no harm in operating the unit in this way.

However it is important, that if using the XLR (BALANCED) input, the switch must be set for BALANCED. If the

switch is not set for BALANCED on an XLR input, a 6dB reduction in loudness will occur and the benefits of

BALANCED operation will be lost.
