QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. MyCD player has both fiber optic and coaxial outputs. Which one should I use?

A. Given a choice, we prefer the AT&Toptical link due to its ability

to completely isolate the grounds between the digital source

component and the Processor. This minimizes the possibility of

ground loops in the digital components. The AT&Tformat also

has the added benefit of substantially higher bandwidth than coax or the standard fiber optic interface. If a coax cable must be used, we suggest the AES/EBU balanced format. This inter-

connection utilizes a + 5v digital format and the additional benefit of balanced termination.

Q o Will I damage my STUDIO2 if I leave the power "ON" all the time?

A. No. The Class A discrete analog circuits perform more consis-

tently once they reach thermal equilibrium. This Processor has been designed to be left On at all times. The STUDIO2 draws less than 30 watts out of the AC mains socket.

NOTE: For the protection of your Processor, we recommend

disconnecting the AC cord from the wall outlet before any

electrical storms or if you plan on being away from home for prolonged periods of time.
