1. RCA Input:

Accepts low-level signal from any source, such as a processor or receiver. From 0.4 Vac up to 6 Volt AC.

2. Input Selector:

To maintain signal integrity Cinénova-7 provides you with an “Input Selector Switch”. This gives you (installer) the option to select between RCA or XLR inputs.

3. Fully Balanced XLR Inputs:

We recommend the use of fully balanced XLR inputs in cases when the distance between the Cinénova and the audio source is excessive and susceptible to noise interference.

4. Gold Plated Speaker Output Binding Posts:

We recommend that you use a high quality wire constructed of fine, multi-strand copper 10-gauge and up. Wire with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs of less than twenty feet. We do not recommend that you use any wires with a gauge equivalent of 18 or higher due to the power loss and performance degradation.

5. 12VDC Trigger:

In order for the Cinénova Turn-ON to be controlled via another source, connect the 12VDC trigger input to the 12VDC source output (polarity is not an issue). From your source, 12VD should have over 20mA. Then set the manual power switch to OFF and the circuit breaker to ON. Now any time the Cinénova detects an incoming 12VDC signal it will automatically power on.

6.AC Input Connector:

IEC Power Receptacle

7.Input Sensitivity:

Input selector gain set is based on your processor output voltage. The table shown below reflects the signal required from your processor if you were to set this gain based on the displayed position.
