Manley Neo-Classic 300B RC Preamplifier 2008 - present - Manual (Page 5)

CONNECTING YOUR PREAMPLIFIER
Setting up your preamplifier is rather easy.
1. Please refer to page 8 for an illustration of the back of the preamplifier.
2. Connect the RCA outputs to the input of your power amplifiers when they are off.
3. UNBALANCED inputs are found on RCA jack inputs and can be connected to any
line level sources such as CD players, tuners or tape decks.
4. All RCA jacks are clearly labeled as to a typical function. Each input is, for all intents
and purposes, functionally and electronically the same. Only the labels are different.
5. The record output is not buffered and it is recommended that one have the tape
feed plugged into the REC OUT only when actually recording. Care should be
used when using a 3-head tape/monitor switch as this record out is
not a tape loop.
6. On the left end of the back panel is a standard IEC mains connector. This should
be connected to a standard mains outlet with the supplied cable. This unit has been
hard-wired for the mains voltage in your country
7. Power up the preamplifier FIRST and allow it to settle for a minimum of 30 seconds
before powering up your amplifiers. Turn off your preamplifier and source compo-
nents LAST when powering down a system. This prevents amplification of turn-on
transients and other noises when powering up or turning a system off and ultimately
protects the speakers.
