A - LINE OUTPUTS - Connect these to your power amplifier inputs when the amps are off.
The XLR outputs are balanced with Pin 2 = hot or positive. Standard. See H.
B - RECORD OUTPUT - These normally are connected to the tape recorder inputs. The
signal is "picked off" before the volume control at the input selector and is isolated (buffered)
by a 12AT7WA . Be very careful. There is a possibility of feedback if someone selects "tape"
on the input selector. (or whatever the record machine returns to)
C- AUX - Plux your Aux in here - ............ Is the plural "Auxen"?
D - CD - Plug in your audio outputs from your CD player or "D to A Converter" here.
E - TAPE INPUT - Tape machine outputs can be connected here. Cassettes not allowed with a
preamp of this calibre. Just kidding. Its your system.
F - TUNER INPUT - Connect your tuner outputs here. Another good input for #2 VCR.
G - VIDEO INPUT - Audio actually, from a VCR or Laser Disc or DVD audio out.
H -BALANCED XLR - Plug an XLR cable in here - It doesn't absolutely have to be balanced but if
you do use this input for an unbalanced source, and it hums - you may need to attach a ground
wire from the source to the preamp or connect a jumper from pin 1 to pin 3.
Pin 1 = Ground (chassis),
Pin 2 = hot or +, Pin 3 = negative or low.
I - POWER SUPPLY - The cables from the power supply box need to be plugged in here - as
long as the supply has been off at least 5 minutes.
J - PHONO INPUTS - Which pair to use (MC or MM) depends on the cartridge. If you have
Moving Coil you could alternatively use the 5 pin XLR. The XLR may be more convenient
and a more secure connector. The male mate should also have gold plated pins.
Pin 1= Right negative
Pin 2= Right positive
Pin 3= Ground - also that gold post is "ground".
Pin 4= Left positive
Pin 5= Left negative
