Rear Panel Functions
Analog Outputs
These single-ended (RCA) outputs provide line-level analog
audio, via suitable RCA interconnect cables, to a preamplifier or
integrated amplifier.
For more information on output specifications, please refer to
Chapter 11.
Digital Input
The single-ended (BNC) input accepts a Sony/Philips Digital
Interface Standard (SPDIF) digital audio signal from a source
component (e.g. Perreaux SXCD CD player, Apple AirPort
Express, Sony PlayStation).
The SPDIF standard dictates 75Ω transmission of the digital
audio signal. Use a digital interconnect cable specifically
designed with a characteristic impedance of 75Ω.
A BNC connector has been used in place of the “standard” RCA
type, because design limitations mean RCA connectors can never
achieve a characteristic impedance of 75Ω. Refer to Chapter 6
‘Special Design Features’ for more information on why a BNC
connector is used.
If you already have a suitable high-quality digital interconnect
equipped with RCA connectors, please use the supplied adaptor
to convert the BNC output to RCA.
For more information on input specifications, please refer to
Chapter 11.
