air space around the unit for cooling. As to avoid overheating, please do not place the IN5E on high tem-
perature devices such as power amplifiers.

5. Rear Panel Connections
5.1 GND – Ground pin connector
The ground pin connector allows for connection of your turntable grounding wire. Please refer
to your turntable manual for information regarding ground connections.
5.2 Ground lift switch
In certain situations where you have audible humm or buzz in your system, you can use the Ground Lift
Switch to eliminate this problem. Place the switch in the “Lift” position to lift the ground.
5.3 USB connector
This port is used for the direct connection between the IN5E and the computer.
5.4 Stereo RCA record input and outputs
Use standard stereo RCAcables to connect the REC inputs and outputs to your recording
device of choice. This could be a DAT, MD recorder, Sound card, etc. The REC outputs (L&R) con-
nect to the inputs of your chosen recording device, while the REC inputs are used for the return
signal from your recording devices outputs.
5.5 Stereo Unbalanced & Balanced Audio Outputs
The IN5E provides two types of analog output connections to connect to your
monitoring device, unbalanced & balanced. These are to connect to your active
monitor speakers, amplifier, or additional mixer device for you to listen to the out-
put from the IN5E. This output signal carries the source signal from any/all of the inputs on the front of the
IN5E, or a mixed signal including the inputs on the front and a source from the the REC inputs on the rear.
