Connecting the VK-P12SE to Your System
Cartridge Input
The back panel of the VK-P12SE phono stage is equipped with two sets of
input connectors:
RCA input connectors
XLR input connectors
Either set can be used for connection. This gives the user the flexibility in
connecting the phono cartridge cable to the VK-P12SE. Whenever possible,
the balanced XLR inputs should be used. They provide the best possible
performance. Please contact the factory regarding the best ways of
connecting your tonarm to the VK-P12SE.
NOTE: Connecting to RCA Inputs:
When connecting your cartridge to the VK-P12SE RCA inputs, it is
necessary to install the supplied shorting plugs into the unused
XLR inputs.
Output Connection
The VK-P12SE is equipped with XLR output connectors. Any high quality set
of balanced interconnects can be used to connect the VK-P12SE to your
balanced preamplifier.
Single-ended preamplifiers can be connected to the VK-P12SE output
through the use of XLR-to-RCA adapters, available from BAT.
