C-300 Preamplifier
RS-232
The C-300 amplifier RS-232 connection can be used for firmware updates
and remote control.
TRIGGER OUTPUTS
The C-300 preamplifier is equipped with two DC trigger outputs.
These can be used to power-on power amps, subwoofers and other
equipment together with the preamplifier. When the preamplifier is switched
on (not in standby mode), the trigger outputs will supply 12VDC.
They can each supply up to 100mA.
DIGITAL INPUTS
The C-300 is equipped with the following digital inputs: USB input,
TOSLINK optical S/P-DIF inputs, and RCA electrical S/P-DIF inputs.
USB INPUT
The C-300 comes equipped with one fully isolated, UAC 2, asynchronous
USB input. It supports 32-192kHz, 16-24 bit PCM and DSD64/DSD128
using DoP encoding.
When connecting a computer running Mac OS X or Linux, no drivers are
needed. For Windows a driver can be downloaded from the Aavik Acoustics
website.
Note: When playing music in PCM format from a computer, it is possible
to select sample rates as high as 384kHz. The PCM DAC in the C-300
however, only supports sample rates up to 192kHz.
TOSLINK OPTICAL INPUT
The C-300 comes equipped with two optical S/P-DIF (32-96kHz,
16-24 bit) TOSLINK inputs.
RCA DIGITAL INPUTS
The C-300 comes equipped with two electrical S/P-DIF (32-192kHz,
16-24 bit) digital inputs.
POWER ON/OFF SWITCH
Toggle the switch to switch between fully o and standby mode.
When the amplifier is in standby mode, the power consumption is less than
0.5 watt.
When the amplifier is fully on, the power consumption is less than 25 watts.
POWER INLET (CAUTION!)
The C-300 amplifier accepts mains voltages from 100 to 240VAC 50-60Hz.
The power inlet accepts power cables with an IEC 60320-C13 female
connector.
To ensure the best performance, please consult your Aavik Acoustics dealer
for a suitable mains cable.
LINE INPUTS
The C-300 amplifier is equipped with three single-ended, RCA line inputs.
The input impedance of the three inputs is 5 kOhm for the line 1 input, and
10 kOhm for the other two.
The gain of the line inputs is fixed, but you can set individual o-sets, to
equalise the volume of dierent signal sources. Please see “1 Mute, O-set,
Cartridge Loading and Balance Settings” on page 4 for guidance.
PHONO INPUT
The C-300 amplifier is equipped with one RCA phono input. The phono
input is fully balanced with floating ground. The ground reference is found
on the ground terminal (13A). To ensure the best performance, use a phono
cable with a separate ground wire. The phono section of the C-300 amplifier
uses the RIAA equalization curve. The gain of the phono section is 62 dB,
which makes the C-300 phono section suitable for most low to medium
