OUTPUT TERMINALS
Connections for power amplifiers are provided on the right hand side of the rear panel. Connections are
available for both single ended (RCA type) and balanced (XLR type) cables. Note that the only time the
outputs aren’t ‘live’ is when the preamplifier is in mute or standby.
TAPE OUTPUTS
These RCA outputs are situated next to the tape RCA inputs, and are provided to interface to a pair of line
level recording devices. The position of the record rotary encoder on the front panel determines from
which device a recording is made. These tape outputs are always ’live’ except when standby is selected.
GROUND LIFT SWITCH
This switch allows the signal ground to be disconnected from the chassis. In some installations a hum
loop may exist due to duplicate ground paths from different equipment. Use this switch to remove the
connection from 0V to ground thus allowing some flexibility in your particular set-up.
STANDBY SWITCH
This switch works in conjunction with the remote control to short the outputs and disconnect the inputs.
Use this switch whenever the Plinius M16 is not in use. Note that when in standby the line stage and
power supply is still live, so the internal circuitry will stay at normal operating temperature.
MAINS SWITCH
The heavy-duty rocker switch to the right of the panel turns the Mains/Line Power to the amplifier ON or
OFF. Depress the right hand side of the switch to turn the amplifier on. The amplifier draws a moderately
high current when switched on, so it is not good practice to rapidly turn the Mains switch on and off
repeatedly.
MAINS POWER CORD IEC SOCKET
This connector is where the mains supply cable from your wall connects to the preamplifier. You will
notice that a fuse holder is mounted within this connection, and it holds a mains fuse to provide surge and
overload protection for your preamplifier.
EARTH POST
This is a chassis connected gold-plated earth post for use with certain phono turntables.
