Making Connections to your C/DP-2000 Ultra
Before making any connections, turn off the power to your preamplifier and power amplifier. Once the inputs have been connected, plug the AC cord into any convenient outlet.
Analog Output Connections
There are two analog output connections on the rear panel of your C/DP-2000 Ultra: RCA connectors for unbalanced line outputs and XLR connectors for balanced line outputs. You may use the RCA and XLR connectors simultaneously if you wish.
RCA Jacks
Connect the left and right RCA output jacks to any line level RCA input on your preamplifier with a pair of high-quality audio interconnect cables.
XLR Jacks
Connect the left and right XLR output jacks to the XLR input on your preamplifier if it is so equipped. The industry standard pin assignment for the XLR connectors are: Pin 1 Ground, Pin 2 + signal, and Pin 3 - signal.
AC Power Connection
Your C/DP-2000 Ultra has an audiophile quality IEC standard detachable power cord. Try to connect this cord directly to a nearby AC wall outlet and avoid extension cords or connection to accessory outlets on your preamp.
