The pin assignment of the BALANCED output jacks on the

 

 

 

 

 

preamplifier is 1:GROUND, 2:HOT, and 3:COLD. When

 

 

 

 

 

connections are made to an amplifier with a pin assignment of

 

 

 

 

 

1:GROUND, 2:COLD, and 3:HOT, reverse the polarities (‘and

 

 

 

 

 

’) of the speaker cables. For details, refer to the instructions
