7Balanced Inputs 1 & 2

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

The pin assignments of these XLR-type female input connectors are in conformance with AES standards, specifically:

PUSH

2 1

3

Pin 1: Signal ground

Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)

Pin 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 Nº383. If not, wire the cables so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.

To achieve the best possible results, we suggest using high quality

interconnecting cables such as Madrigal’s own CZ Gel-1 balanced cables.

8Single-ended Inputs 3–5

Accepts right-channel and left-channel (single-ended) inputs from line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD players, and tape decks.

To achieve the best possible results, we suggest using high quality interconnecting cables such as Madrigal’s own CZ Gel-2 single- ended cables.

9Single-ended (RCA) Record Output

Connect these outputs to the right-channel and left-channel tape inputs of your recorder. These outputs are unaffected by the volume control on the front panel of the Nº383. They track the selected input, reflecting to the recorder the same signal to which you are listening.
