Connecng a Power Amplier/Speakers
The Cyrus Pre
2
DAC requires an external power amplier
to drive the system loudspeakers. To connect the power
amplier, connect a phono interconnect from one set
of the dual Pre Out sockets (b or c) to the Inputs of the
power amplier. Ensure le and right channels are correctly
connected. The speakers connect to the power amplier.
The power amplier handbook will include instrucons for
connecon of the speakers.
Using the Zone 2 output
Your product includes a Zone 2 pre-amp output that can be
used by a system in a second room. You can then extend the
sound from the sources in your main system to a second
zone. To use the Zone 2 output you will need a set of long
interconnects and an amplier with loudspeakers in the
second zone that has its own volume control. Typically the
second zone system would be the auxiliary input of an MP3
player dock or could even be another integrated amplier
with full size separate loudspeakers.
Seng up Zone 2 with powered speakers
To set up Zone 2, connect the long phono cables to the Zone
2 output d and route them to the line inputs of the powered
speakers in Zone 2.
Seng up Zone 2 with a second amplier
To set up Zone 2 with a separate amplier, connect the long
phono cables to the Zone 2 output d and route them to one
of the line inputs of the amplier in Zone 2. Connect the
Zone 2 speakers to the Zone 2 amplier.
NOTE: Ampliers for Zone 2 use must include a volume
control.
Connecng a Tape/Disc recorder for recording
When not in use for a Zone 2 system, the dual-purpose
output Zone 2/Tape may be used to connect a tape recorder
for recording purposes. To set up a tape recording loop,
connect a phono cable from the ‘Input’ or ‘Record’ sockets
of the tape deck to the Zone 2 Output d sockets.
NOTE: This secon assumes that the ‘Play’ or ‘Line Out’
sockets of the tape/disc recorder have already been
connected to Input 6 for playback purposes.
