CONNECTIONS
All input and output connections should be
made with the mains power switched OFF.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
The A3.2 CR pre-amplifier has one pair of
phono inputs, which can be used either for
moving magnet (MM) or moving coil
(MC) pickups.
The phono input sensitivity requirement
can be changed from MM to MC by press-
ing the push-button switch located on the
rear panel.
Important - Do not operate the MM/MC
switch with the volume control turned up.
Some turntable/pickup arm combinations
are fitted with an extra wire for chassis
earthing. This should be connected to the
earth terminal on the back panel.
The A3.2 CR Pre also has five “line level”
inputs which are electrically identical, and
therefore suitable for use with any source
component having an output of at least
300mV. Input sockets on the rear panel are
marked CD, TUNER, AUXILIARY 1,
AUXILIARY 2, and TAPE, to correspond
with function buttons on the front panel.
Using good quality co-axial audio cable,
connect the left and right outputs from
your CD player, tuner, tape deck or phono/
record deck to the appropriate RCA input
sockets on the back panel.
PRE-AMPLIFIER OUTPUT
Left and right audio outputs are provided
from RCA sockets on the back panel,
which are controlled by the volume adjust-
ment.
TAPE RECORDER CONNECTION
The pre-amplifier has a single tape circuit
with facilities for off-tape monitoring with
suitable 3-head tape decks (see page 7).
Connection of your tape recorder to the
A3.2 CR Pre should be as follows:
The tape deck's left and right line outputs
are routed to the pre-amplifier's TAPE
(input) sockets, and the tape deck's line
inputs are connected to the A3.2 CR 's
TAPE RECORD (output) sockets.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON . . . . .
Plug the accessory IEC mains lead into the
rear panel socket, then the other end into a
convenient wall outlet.
Turn the volume control on the front panel
to minimum (anticlockwise).
