Right Analog Balanced XLR Output – This is the balanced XLR analog output. The DAC should be set for balanced mode when using this
output. When set to single ended, the differential output will be equal and you will hear nothing. When the DAC is set to multichannel
mode, the primary channel will be heard on the non-inverted output pin and the alternate channel on the inverted output pin. The output
impedance is 106 ohms with volume control and 76 ohms without, and output level is 14 Volts PP (5.24 V RMS).
Right Analog Balanced XLR Input – This is the balanced analog input. This input is passed to the output with no change unless a volume
option is installed. The non-inverted and inverted inputs are also passed to the single-ended and alternate outputs, respectively, regardless
of the mode setting. When the volume control is installed, this input can be either volume controlled or not, depending on the menu
settings. This input is ideal for adding a vinyl input to your system. Minimum input impedance is 2 kohms. For an RCA input, use an
RCA to XLR conversion connector. At 0 dB volume setting, the analog inputs are a direct pass-through.
Left Analog Connections – Same as right above.
Aux One and Two – A second balanced analog input can be installed here, instead of the single-ended option. It can use or bypass the
volume control independently of the rst analog input.
How to Hook Up a Subwoofer
Main AMP Balanced – Set the DAC for a balanced output and attach main amp normally. Use the single-ended output for Subwoofer.
(Preferred Conguration)
Main AMP Single-ended – Set the DAC for a single-ended output and attach main amp normally. Use the alternate single-ended output
to connect to the Subwoofer.

Power Input – This product must be plugged into a DAC IV Diamond or Signature Power Base with both analog and digital supplies. It
will not work with any previous MSB power supplies such as the P1000. The Diamond Power Base also makes an excellent upgrade.
RS-232 – The RS-232 input is used for controlling the DAC or volume control using a remote system. The complete table of commands
can be found under the support tab of our web site.
Toslink – Although this format has the lowest bandwidth, it is one of the more common outputs on low-end products. It also offers ground
isolation between products and noise immunity over long runs. It is unlikely to work at sample rates over 192 kHz.
Coaxial – A good input for short runs and lower frequencies. Limited to 384 kHz, 24 bit data.
In a case where
three single-ended
outputs are desired,
a cable can be made
to extract a single-
ended output from a
balanced output.
Now two single-
ended outputs are
available, even
when the DAC is set
to the single-ended
mode.
