X0.2 Owner’s Manual
The pre-amplifier consists of three machined aluminum chassis; it has five sets of input connections, two sets of outputs, both single- ended and balanced, a tape loop and a full function remote control unit that mirrors the front panel functions.
The power supply control chassis has a
The remote control is powered by two (2) factory installed AAA batteries.
The individual gain channels connect to the power supply control unit with four (4) necessary cables and to each other with one optional cable. These cables must be installed before the preamp is powered up. The cable jacks are clearly labeled on the rear of each chassis and are style and gender specific so as to minimize opportunity for
Both gain channels are identical electrically, the only difference is the color of the identifying rings under the RCA connectors. The right channel is identified by red rings under the RCA’s connectors and the left by white rings. Additionally the right gain stage chassis has a female XLR marked “mono” and the left gain control chassis has a male XLR marked “mono” as a further identifier.
The X0.2 takes maximal advantage of four identical gain paths (two identical paths per channel) very much unlike the typical two gain path (one signal path per channel)
In order to manage balanced signals these two gain path pre- amplifiers must utilize phase combining networks to process incoming signals and subsequently drive outputs via phase splitting circuits to
