Note
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio cables away from power cords and speaker cables.
Connect an AV controller or control amplifier with XLR
outputs for high-quality sound.
The pin assignments for this jack are given above. This pin
assignment conforms to the standard adopted by the Audio
Engineering Society. Refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the control amplifier and verify that its
output jack is compatible with the pin assignments for this
jack. The output jack of the AV controller PR-SC5508 is
compatible with the pin assignments for the jack of the
amplifier.
The power amplifier uses the European type XLR jack.
Phase is reversed when an XLR cable is connected to the
control amplifier that uses the USA type XLR jack. In this
case, reverse the polarity of the speaker connection.
Plugging the XLR cable
Match the pins and insert the jack until you hear a “click.”
Make sure that the jack is locked by lightly pulling the
connection cable.
Unplugging the XLR cable
Pull out the connection cable while holding down the
lever.
Note
• When using this XLR connection between the control amplifier
and the amplifier, set the INPUT SELECT switch to the right
side (the XLR input side) to select XLR input.
• Do not connect anything to the RCA-type audio input jack.
