Analog Outputs
All eight of the main zone analog outputs of the Nº40 audio
processor are available in both balanced (XLR) and single-ended
(RCA) form. On any given channel, you can use either (or both)
as dictated by your system requirements.

Slot D (along the bottom of the Nº40 audio processor) provides
high quality digital to analog conversion and volume control of
the aux 1and the aux 2 channels. These “auxiliary” channels
can be configured for use in any of several ways, including:
•
As surround back left and surround back right (Sbl and Sbr)
channels, to support Surround•EX and DTS 6.1 ES and
similar formats (the surround back channels are behind the
listener, rather than to the sides);
•
As an extra subwoofer and/or a surround back speaker to
support Surround•EX and DTS 6.1 ES and similar formats;
•
As none of the above, if you are setting up a conventional
5.1 channel system.
For more information on configuring these options, please refer
to “Speakers Menu” on page 5-6.
The pin assignments of the XLR-type male outputs conform to
the international AES standard, and are as follows:
Refer to your power amplifier operating manual to verify that
the pin assignments of its input connectors correspond to this
description. If not, wire the cable so that the appropriate output
pin connects to the equivalent input pin, or reverse the leads of
your speaker cables to and restore correct polarity.
If you have a variety of amplifiers from different companies,
particular care must be taken to ensure that all the speakers are
in phase with each other, since some of the amplifiers them-
selves can invert polarity.
If you use the auxiliary channels, connect the aux 1 and the
aux 2 outputs of the Nº40 audio processor to the appropriate
inputs on your power amplifier(s).
