Nº326S Preamplifier Getting Started
CAUTION
NEVER MAKE OR BREAK CONNECTIONS TO THE Nº326S
UNLESS IT AND ALL ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS ARE
POWERED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM ELECTRICAL
OUTLETS.
To begin using the Nº326S:
1. Make sure the Nº326S and all associated components are
powered off and disconnected from electrical outlets.
Note
The Nº326S offers balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA)
stereo connections. For best performance, use balanced
(XLR) connections whenever possible. A balanced connection
between the Nº326S and the associated power amplifier will
offer the highest possible performance with the best
protection against RF interference and other common mode
noise.
2. Connect the desired Nº326S stereo input connectors to the
source component (e.g., CD player) output connectors.
• Use the Nº326S balanced (XLR) stereo input connectors
labeled 1, 2, or 3 if the source component offers balanced
(XLR) output connectors.
• Use the Nº326S single-ended (RCA) stereo input connectors
labeled 4, 5, 6, or 7 if the source component does not offer
balanced (XLR) output connectors.
3. Connect the desired Nº326S stereo main output connectors to
the associated power amplifier.
• Use the Nº326S balanced (XLR) stereo main output
connectors if the associated power amplifier offers balanced
(XLR) input connectors.
• Use the Nº326S single-ended (RCA) stereo main output
connectors if the associated power amplifier does not offer
balanced (XLR) input connectors.
