Press the flap at the upper end of the socket to remove the plug from
the socket.
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Plus (non-inverse signal)
Pin 3: Minus (inverse Signal) Pin configuration:
The TEP 3800 is equipped with a XLR connection plug arrangement
that complies with international studio standards:
Due to the revolutionary DC-coupled counterparallel amplifying con-
cept the TEP 3800 achieves an extremely low output impedance
of less than 1 ohm (XLR-out) – entirely without transformer in direct
coupling and without semiconductor support, but only with tubes
at the output stage. This way you may also connect very long or
high-capacity connection cables to the power amplifier, whereby
the unique transparency and the musical stream of the playback are
kept. Thereby you may place mono power amplifiers, such as the
Thorens TEM 3200, directly next to the speakers (advantage: short
speaker cables and best possible control of speakers). The design of
the TEP 3800 XLR outputs furthermore allows the actuating of pro-
fessional active speakers (studio monitors) with 600 ohm terminating
impedance and with excellent quality even via long cables.
