Rear Panel

6BALANCED INPUTS 1-3:

*Accepts right-channel and left-channel balanced signals from source equipment with balanced outputs.

*The pin assignments of these XLR-type female input are:

2 1	Pin 1: Signal ground
	Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)

3Pin 3: Signal - (inverting)

Connector ground lug: chassis ground

Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-output line-level sources to verify that the pin assignments of their output connectors correspond to the C 306. If not, wire the cable so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.

7SINGLE-ENDED INPUTS 4-6:

*Accepts right-channel and left-channel (RCA) inputs from line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD player, and SACD player.

8BALANCED MAIN OUTPUTS:

*If your power amplifier is equipped with balanced inputs, it is generally best to use the balanced outputs on your C 306. A balanced signal from preamplifier to power amplifier will offer the highest possible performance with the best immunity from common-mode noise, such as radio frequency interference (RFI). The balanced output signal is made available by way of precision male XLR connectors (requiring female XLRs on the preamplifier end of the interconnecting cable).

*The pin assignments of these XLR-type male outputs are:

1	Pin 1: Signal ground
	2
3	Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)

Pin 3: Signal - (inverting)

Connector ground lug: chassis ground

Refer to your power amplifier's operating manual to verify that the pin assignments of its input connectors correspond to the C 306. If not, wire the cable so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.

9SINGLE-ENDED MAIN OUTPUTS:

* Use these jacks for connection to the power amplifiers.
