Wyred 4 Sound mINT - Manual (Page 5)

pg. 3
Two analog inputs (Auxiliary 1 and 2) are side by side on the rear panel. An
alternate function of Aux 2 is HT bypass (Home Theater bypass) and is activated via a
push switch on the back. When HT is selected, the trigger in becomes one activation
point for the HT mode. Aux Out (preamp output) will work very well to incorporate a
powered subwoofer. In addition to the pre-out the mINT has a Fixed out that will
typically be used to send a signal to a recording device or feed a signal to a second
system. An alternate function of the Fixed out is a Main In feature that can be used
with the preamp output to allow the insertion of a digital crossover or processor into
the signal path. This feature can be selected by the “Fixed out/Main in” button
located on the rear of the unit next to the HT Bypass selector.
Located top and center of the rear panel, you will find three digital inputs
powered by an ESS DAC chip for an incredible experience when streaming your
digital recordings. The S/PDIF inputs will support 24 bit 192kHz resolution files and
the USB interface will support 24 bit 96kHz signals in asynchronous input. Each
digital input can be connected to a different source and selected independently via
the remote or input select buttons on the front.
A ¼” headphone jack is machined into the left had side of the front panel.
When a headphone plug is inserted into the jack it will mute the other outputs
(other than the Fixed outputs) regardless of the input selected or volume level. The
performance of the built-in headphone amp is nothing short of impressive.
Independent power supplies for exceptionally low channel crosstalk, low noise and
an abundance of dynamic range make for true hi fidelity headphone experience.
Did you think we were done, Ha!, now the most important part! The final
area of focus is the source of on-board amplification, after all it is an integrated
amplifier! Utilizing two independent ICEpower™ modules, the mINT is capable of
outputting 100wpc into 8 ohms and 170wpc into 4 ohms. As a result it will drive the
majority of speakers on the market with ease.
AC Mains Voltage switch
Located on the left side of the rear panel is a Input mains Voltage switch.
When changing the 2 position slider switch the mINT will need to be unplugged and
powered down for at least 2 minutes. It is very important to ensure that the slide
switch is in the proper position which is down for 115V and up for 230V. Failure to
do so will likely result in damaging the internal components and will not be
covered under warranty.
