6 Control Ports (PHAST™ compatible)
These ports are reserved for future use as PHASTLink™ commu-
nications ports. This future functionality is not available at this
time. For more information, please contact your dealer and ask
about PHAST™ home automation systems.
7 Balanced Inputs 1 & 2
Accepts right-channel and left-channel balanced signals from
source equipment with balanced outputs.
The pin assignments of these XLR-type female input connectors
are in conformance with AES standards, specifically:
PUSH
21
3
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-output line-level
sources to verify that the pin assignments of their output connec-
tors correspond to the Nº383. If not, wire the cables so that the
appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.
To achieve the best possible results, we suggest using high quality
interconnecting cables such as Madrigal’s own CZ Gel-1 balanced
cables.
8 Single-ended Inputs 3–5
Accepts right-channel and left-channel (single-ended) inputs
from line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD players, and
tape decks.
To achieve the best possible results, we suggest using high quality
interconnecting cables such as Madrigal’s own CZ Gel-2 single-
ended cables.
9 Single-ended (RCA) Record Output
Connect these outputs to the right-channel and left-channel tape
inputs of your recorder. These outputs are unaffected by the
volume control on the front panel of the Nº383. They track the
selected input, reflecting to the recorder the same signal to which
you are listening.
