OPERATION
SINGLE-ENDED (RCA) INPUT
To use the RCA INPUT, connect RCA source outputs to the INPUT RCA sockets. Make sure the
BALANCED/RCA switch is set for RCA.

Note: The two RED speaker terminals are internally connected together. Similarly, the two BLACK speaker
terminals are also internally connected together.
The diagram above shows the speakers connected to the LEFT hand output posts. It is also perfectly
acceptable to use the RIGHT hand output posts as they are exactly the same connection internally.
IMPORTANT: BALANCED/RCA switch
The BALANCED/RCA switch (see page 7) is included to minimise noise when using the unit in RCA mode. In
most cases it will operate in BALANCED position on RCA inputs with no appreciable audible increase in noise.
There is no harm in operating the unit in this way.
However it is important, that if using the XLR (BALANCED) input, the switch must be set for BALANCED.
If the
switch is not set for BALANCED on an XLR input, a 6dB reduction in loudness will occur and the benefits of
BALANCED operation will be lost.
