GamuT D3i - Manual (Page 7)

7
All of the inputs are line level inputs. If a turntable is to be connected, a special RIAA amplifi er must
either be fi tted as a plug-in module or an external must be connected in between the turntable and
the D 3i.
The HTH input also features a “direct” function. Please refer to the section “How to operate”.
The balanced input labeled “CD” can be used for any balanced signal source such as a CD player or
a separate D/A converter. You can also use them with a pair of RCA female/XLR male adaptors for
further connection of unbalanced sources.
Outputs
What goes in must come out!
The D 3i offers you plenty of option when connecting:
One pair unbalanced signal line out
Two pairs of balanced signal line out
One tape out
The two balanced line outputs, enables you to connect the D 3i to one or two external power ampli-
fi ers. Giving you the option of bi-amping or to drive a second pair of loudspeakers simultaneously.
You can also use either the unbalanced or one of the balanced outputs to feed an active subwoofer. In
any case - the signal of the output follows the selected level and source.
The tape out is intended to be used for an analogue recording device. It has a fi xed level that follows
the actual input with unity gain.
Tape out features a separate buffer amplifi er, so that the recording device load, does not disturb the
main signal path.
The D 3i features one set of balanced input and two sets of balanced outputs. GamuT follow the
international IEC standard for the balanced connections; please ensure that the connected equipment
complies with the following pin confi guration:
XLR pin connection of the balanced in- and outputs
Ground
Positive
Negative
Some other brands have pins # 2 and 3 reversed. They will work together with the D 3i, but the abso-
lute phase will be reversed. You can solve this by reversing the wires in the male plug of your bal-
anced interconnects
The two balanced stereo outputs are connected together; exactly the same signal and level will be
available at both outputs. This enables you to bi-amp your loudspeaker with two power amplifi ers or
listen to music in a second room.
