Placement and Initial Setup
Because the eVo2i runs cool it can be placed in many system locations without compromise. We do not recommend placing weights or other objects directly on the eVo2i. This may mar or scratch the chassis finish. Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning the outside of your eVo2i.
Single Ended RCA and Balanced XLR connectors are available. XLR jacks allow balanced hookup using the stan- dard pin configuration:
Pin 1 Ground
Pin 2 Input +
Pin 3 Input -
IMPORTANT: Make all connections before powering your unit.
Design Features
•The elegant simplicity of the signal path and gain stage allows the eVo2i to pre- serve audio signal quality. Audio Grade decoupling capacitors and resistors, star grounding and careful signal routing insure that
•Input processing provides one balanced XLR connection, three RCA jack connec- tions and Tape In. Tape Output is an RCA output with an active
•The volume control is a precision analog stepped attenuator controlled by a micro- controller. This device provides extremely low noise and distortion coupled with high accuracy. The sonic quality is superior to the best potentiometers and insures no wear.
•High efficiency Digital Power Processing eVo power amplifier.
•Efficiency >90% insures cool operation.
•THD and IMD <0.05%
•Damping Factor >100
•High thermal stability in all stages
•Fully regulated, low noise supplies for all analog stages
•Soft clipping with uncompromised low level distortion performance
•
•Protection circuitry outside signal path
•Programmable features allow you to dis- able (except TAPE), name and set volume for listening and soft mute levels for ALL inputs individually
•The eVo2i powers on in Soft Mute Mode. Soft Mute Mode is a fully adjustable setting that also can be selected as a muting option during regular listening.
