X0.2 Owner’s Manual
There are a total of five inputs, a separate tape loop and two outputs on each of the pre-amplifier chassis. One chassis is exclusively dedicated to right channel and the other exclusively left channel. Balanced inputs and outputs are via XLR connectors. Single- ended inputs and outputs are via RCA connectors. On the XLR connectors, pin 1 is grounded, pin 2 is the positive signal, and pin 3 is the negative signal.
If your signal source is unbalanced, input will occur through the RCA input connectors, which are in parallel with the XLR connections. When
The unbalanced input impedance of the
Next to the inputs on the rear panel of the gain stages, the pre- amplifier offers tape inputs through both XLR and RCA connectors. This output is a direct connection to inputs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 when they are selected from the front panel. Input 6 (TAPE IN) is deliberately not available through the tape output connection. Tape input is designated for use with a tape recorder if you have one, and we have arranged that it will not place its output on the tape out, which will prevent you from accidentally creating a feedback connection with your tape machine.
The main outputs are located
In an effort to accommodate a wide range of equipment we have configured this product so that you may use both single ended and balanced outputs at the same time. On the XLR, pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is positive output, and pin 3 is negative output.
