kW Hybrid Line Preamplifier Instructions for use Page 6 of 9
CONNECTIONS
All input, output and power connections should
be made with the mains power switched OFF.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
The kW Hybrid Line Preamplifier has five
“line level” inputs controlled by the internal
volume setting.
They all have the same input sensitivity, and
are therefore suitable for use with any source
component having an output of at least 300mV.
The five pairs of sockets on the rear panel are
marked CD, SACD, TUNER, AUXiliary and
TAPE, corresponding with function selector
buttons on the front panel.
However, the HT DIRECT input sockets are
intended for home theatre use. When selected,
they are routed inside the kW preamplifier
directly to the OUTPUT sockets, and are not
controlled by the volume adjustment.
Do not therefore connect these sockets to a
source without its own volume control.
PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUT
Audio output is available from the kW Hybrid
Line Preamplifier via RCA sockets on the back
panel marked LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUT.
TAPE RECORDER CONNECTION
The kW Preamplifier has a single tape circuit
with facilities for off-tape monitoring with 3-
head tape decks (see page 7).
The tape deck's left and right line outputs are
routed to the kW Preamplifier's TAPE
(playback) input sockets, and the tape deck's
line inputs are connected to the preamplifier’s
TAPE RECord (output) sockets.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON . . . .
Plug the accessory IEC mains lead into the rear
panel socket, then the other end into a wall
outlet.
Turn the volume control on the front panel to
minimum (anticlockwise).
