CD XLR INPUT TERMINALS

Below the CD RCA inputs are an additional set of ‘line level’ XLR balanced inputs for use with source components that feature XLR balanced outputs. Balanced signals are carried via a three way cable.

The XLR pin configuration used in all Plinius product is:

PIN 1 to GND

PIN 2 to +Signal

PIN 3 to -Signal

NOTE: Because of the way our XLR and balanced inputs are configured it is not possible to connect both XLR and RCA at the same time.

INPUT SELECTION SWITCH

This switch directly below the ‘TAPE 1’ input is used to select the pair of CD input sockets required as described above. Up selects the CD RCA input connections, while down selects CD XLR input.

OUTPUT TERMINALS

Connections for the loudspeakers are provided on the right hand side of the rear panel. Two parallel pairs of five way binding posts for each channel are fitted – these provide ease of use with bi-wiring and multiple cables requiring a large contact area.

TAPE OUTPUTS

These RCA outputs are situated next to the tape RCA inputs, and are provided to interface to a pair of line level recording devices. The position of the record selector on the front panel determines from which device a recording is being made. As these tape outputs are always ‘live’, both can be used to record the chosen signal at any time.

MUTE SWITCH

The mute switch enables disconnection of the output, without the need to use the remote control. When the amplifier is in mute, the LED on the front panel will dim.
