Power supply connections


9. Power outputs


These outputs connect to the power inputs of the Altair II preamp. Constellation Audio has supplied
special spiral-wrapped, gold-plated copper cables designed for aerospace use. Each cable is rated to
handle 30 amps.

Each of these jacks mates with a matching jack on the preamp. Be sure to connect the Analog power
jack on the preamp to the Analog power jack on the power supply, and the Control power jack on the
preamp to the Control power jack on the power supply.

Before connecting these cables, switch off the power supply and disconnect it from the AC power.
Failing to do this can damage the Altair II or the power supply.

10. DC output


This jack outputs DC voltage for accessories. It is currently unused in the Altair II.

11. AC input


This AC input accepts standard 15-amp IEC-type power cords. You may use the high-quality power cord
supplied with the Altair II, or substitute an aftermarket power cord if you wish.
