INPUTS (back panel)
Pairs of RCA jacks accommodate unbalanced line level sources. These are labeled "IN1",
"IN2", etc.
The XLR input can accept a balanced or unbalanced line level source.
Note: not all sources with XLR connectors are balanced. Many are unbalanced, with pin 2
or pin 3 tied to ground. The Phi Preamplifier accepts such sources.
The “CINEMA” inputs accept an unbalanced line level source via RCA jacks.
One pair of RCA jacks accommodate the monitor return from a tape deck. If you do not
have a tape deck, these jacks can be used as an additional line level input.
Two phono inputs are provided for "MC" and "MM" cartridges. The ground lead from the
turntable should be connected to the binding post located by these jacks.
POWER AMP DIRECT INPUT
This switch allows direct access to the power
amplifier section, useful for inserting an active
crossover for biamplified systems.
PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUTS
One pair of RCA jacks provide line level output to a tape recorder. The level of signal is not
adjusted by the volume control.
RCA and XLR output jacks are provided as main preamplifier outputs; these may be used,
for example, to drive an additional power amplifier, or to insert an external crossover (in
conjunction with the Power Amp Direct Input).
Do not connect an unbalanced load to the XLR connectors.
