Detailed information about the manifold functions of the preamp, are available
in the following chapters of this owner’s manual.
All connection terminals are located on the rear panel. While connecting the preamp,
all components of the music system must be turned off.
Through factory settings a lot of functions are disabled to operate the
088
as
a simple preamp. With the menus you are comfortably able to activate the
numerous options the
088
offers. In daily use these functions are hidden.
If wanted, factory settings can be reestablished.
Inputs
To connect source components like CD-Player, FM-Tuner, Tape deck etc.
the standard version of the preamp provides five balanced inputs (XLR) named
INPUT 1 to INPUT 5 (22) and one unbalanced module input (RCA) named
INPUT LINE (23). For the best sound we recommend using the balanced inputs
whenever possible.
The preamp may be equipped Instead with a LINE module, Phono MC module,
Phono MM module or with a D/A converter module.
The pinning of the balanced inputs is: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.
SURROUND input
The two front channels (right front / left front) of a surround sound processor or
decoder must be connected to the SURROUND input (21). The signal incoming into
the SURROUND input is sent directly to the MAIN outputs, bypassing the volume
control! This input allows the easy integration of surround sound components into
an existing twochannel hifi system. The SURROUND input cannot be selected over
the RECORD level.
The pinning of the SURROUND input is: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.
NOTICE: Do only connect a unit with its own volume-control to this input.
Otherwise serious damage to your ears and equipments may occur.
