If you want to disconnect the external ASR power supply/supplies please pay attention to
the following order
a) turn off the ASR Emitter (left control knob to „0“-position)
b) disconnect the powercord(s) from the AC outlet, disconnect the powercord(s)
from the AC input of the power supply/supplies
c) wait until the LEDs inside the ASR power supply/supplies are not shining anymore
d) disconnect the heavy silver cable from the power supply/supplies
If the connection between the ASR Emitter´s main unit and the power supply/supplies has
been disconnected before the LEDs have not shone anymore, please wait at least two
hours before you connect the power supply/supplies again. This will avoid damage on your
audio system.
Tip: powercords have a big influence on the obtainable sound quality. We recommend to
use the ASR Active Powercord on all the components in your audio system.
2.2 Additional connections (on special order)
Every ASR Emitter can be equipped with a lot of in- and outputs on special order at
additional cost. The most common connections are described here.
2.2.1 Connecting a high-level source component to the balanced
input of the ASR Emitter
The ASR Emitters (that is not equipped with the ASR plug-in phonoboard) can be
equipped with a balanced input. This input can easily be choosen by switching the input
selector (right control knob on the frontpanel) to the „CD“-position. The RCA input sockets
on the backpanel named „CD“ are not that sensitive (not so loud) than the balanced inputs.
You can connect either every high-level source component or even a phono pre-amplifier
(like the ASR Basis Exclusive) to the balanced inputs of the ASR Emitter. A balanced
cable (with male-/female XLR plugs) can - due to international standards – only be
connected one way: the male XLR plug is connected to the source component and the
female XLR plug is connected to the ASR Emitter.
Tip: if oyu have to use a cable longer than approximately ten feet between a source
component and the ASR Emitter, you should use a balanced connection. Balanced
connections are less suspectible for disturbances.
2.2.2 Connecting a turntable to the ASR Emitter
Every ASR Emitter (that is not equipped with a balanced input!) can be equipped with the
ASR plug-in phonoboard. If an ASR Emitter is equipped with the ASR plug-in phonoboard
a turntable with Moving Magnet- oder Moving Coil-cartridge can be directly connected to
the ASR Emitter. The turntable can be connected to the RCA input sockets named „Ph“ on
the backpanel of the ASR Emitter. The groundig cable of the turntable (if there is one) can
be connected to one of the black speaker output terminals.
