Voltage Selection

Inputs and Outputs

The unit has both unbalanced and balanced inputs, selected by a push-button switch on the back panel. Use the appropriate push-button position to suit your choice of preamplifier and cabling. The LEDs on the back panel will indicate which inputs are selected. The push-button does not directly pass the audio signal but instead sends a control signal to distortionless solid state switches. Both unbalanced and balanced signals are passed through the unbalanced and balanced line out sockets to enable daisy-chaining of amplifiers.

Back Panel

English

Do not connect the mains supply until you have verified that the unit is set to the correct voltage for your mains supply.

The unit is factory-set for a 230 volt mains supply and must not be connected to a mains supply other than this before it is adjusted for your local voltage. To set the voltage, use a screwdriver to adjust the voltage selector on the back of the unit to the correct setting.

This unit must be earthed. Use the earthed moulded mains lead supplied. Never use an unearthed plug or adaptor.
