Signal Input

Accepts a standard single-ended input pair (RCA) from preamplifiers with single-ended outputs. Inputs are clearly marked Left and Right, indicated by a white and red inner ring respectively. Care should be taken to maintain channel integrity.

Refer to Chapter 13 “Specifications”, for detail on input sensitivity and impedance.

Earth Lift Switch

This switch isolates the internal signal earth of the amplifier from the mains earth and is useful if system hum is a problem. Setting this switch down (EARTH) connects the internal signal earth to mains earth and is the normal position. Setting to up (FLOAT) disconnects the signal earth from the mains earth.

Activating this switch has no effect on chassis earth, maintaining the connection to mains earth.
