Model 9762 – Dual Combo Owners Manual
4 Installation and Connections
The 9762 is designed for standard 1U 19” rack mounting. Ideally, the unit
should be mounted where cool air flows across the unit. Do not obstruct
the flow of air around and across the preamplifier enclosure. In tight
equipment enclosures, consider placing a ventilated rack panel to allow
increased airflow. Do not place the unit near strong magnetic fields and
noise sources such as power amplifiers, console power supplies,
transformers, motors, florescent lighting, computers, etc.
4.1 AC Power Connector
The 9762 accepts a standard IEC AC line cord and may be configured
for either 115V or 230V AC line voltage (50 or 60 Hz) as required from
the rear panel power entry module. All units shipped in the USA are
configured for standard 115 VAC operation. Refer to the Line Voltage
Configuration section of this manual for line voltage configuration
information.
NOTE
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE PREAMPLIFIER IS PROPERLY GROUNDED
AT THE AC LINE CORD. NEVER USE A CORD WITH A MISSING GROUND
PIN OR GROUND LIFTING ADAPTER. THE AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE A
COMMON EARTH GROUND FOR PROPER OPERATION. A FAULTY OR
MISSING GROUND PRESENTS A SAFTEY HAZARD AND MAY ALSO
RESULT IN IMPROPER OPERATION.
4.2 Balanced Connectors
The rear panel XLR input and output connectors are designed for
balanced operation. The XLR connectors follow modern standards for
XLR wiring conventions as follows:

1 Ground
2 Hot (+)
3 Cold (-)
The balanced line output may also be used to drive unbalanced loads by
connecting pins 1 and 3 together (to Sleeve) and pin 2 to hot (to Tip). Do
not float pin 3 as the output transformer secondary is floating and
balanced. Unbalanced operation requires that pin 3 be connected to a
ground.
4.3 Unbalanced Connectors
The unbalanced ¼” line output and DI input connectors accept Tip and
Sleeve (TS) or Tip, Ring and Sleeve (TRS) connectors. The Tip is
always treated as hot and the Ring and Sleeve are always referenced to
the internal preamp ground. This design allows the use of TS or TRS ¼”
connectors to simplify interfacing the unit with other balanced or
unbalanced gear.
