OPERATION
Starting
Once all connections are made, switch on the unit, using the POWER button front of the unit. The MUTE LED
will light. Speaker outputs are muted for about 6 seconds, so no sound will be heard from the speakers. Once
the 6 seconds is up the MUTE LED goes out, indicating unit is settled, and ready for use.
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 (up).
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.
INPUT A RCA
To use the RCA INPUT A, connect RCA source outputs to the INPUT A RCA sockets (see page 7). Select
INPUT A by pressing the INPUT select button so INPUT A LED is lit.
INPUT B RCA
To use the RCA INPUT B, connect RCA source outputs to the INPUT B RCA sockets (see page 7). Make sure
the BALANCED/RCA switch is set for RCA (down). Select INPUT B by pressing the INPUT select button so
INPUT B LED is lit.
INPUT B BALANCED
To use the balanced input, connect balanced source outputs to the balanced input XLR sockets (see page 7).
Make sure the BALANCED/RCA switch is set for BALANCED (up). Select INPUT B by pressing the INPUT
button so INPUT B LED is lit.
It is perfectly acceptable to use an RCA source device on INPUT A and a balanced XLR source on INPUT B
and use the INPUT select button to select between the two. The BALANCED/RCA switch should be in the
BALANCED position.
Note that the INPUT B BALANCED and RCA inputs are shared. It is not recommended to use both balanced
and single ended modes simultaneously on INPUT B. Loss and/or mixing of signal and/or equipment failure
may occur if both inputs are used simultaneously.
Alternatively, two RCA single-ended devices may be connected, one on INPUT A, and the other on input B, use
the INPUT select button to select between the two. For this scenario, the BALANCED/RCA switch should be
set for RCA (down).
