SPHINX Project Two Mk2
7
Connecting a CD player
The CD player may be connected in two ways.
Balanced
Connect the balanced output of a CD player to CD
BALANCED.
Unbalanced
Connect the unbalanced output of a CD player to
CD.
You may connect the CD player balanced and
unbalanced simultaneously! Or you may use two
different CD players.
Connecting a tuner
Connect the unbalanced output of a tuner to
TUNER.
If applicable you may connect the tuner's balanced
outputs to CD BALANCED (if not in use by another
component)!
Connecting other signal sources
LINE 1 to LINE 3 are available for other signal
sources.
Connecting the GROUND wire
You may directly connect the signal ground of other
equipment to the Project Two. This may be
necessary to obtain the maximum S/N-ratio and the
lowest hum level.
You have to experiment with the ground connections
to get the optimum method for each piece of
equipment.
Connecting the optical cables
The Project Two has a CONTROL OUT optical
connector so it can remotely switch other Sphinx
components to stand-by.
When the CONTROL IN of a component is
connected to the CONTROL OUT of the Project Two
with an optical cable you do not have to use that
component's ON/OFF switch. As soon as the Project
Two is selected to stand-by the other component is
also selected to stand-by.
CONTROL OUT: This output is activated as soon as
the Project Two is switched.
Ensure proper connection of the optical cables (from
CONTROL OUT to CONTROL IN), otherwise the
LED next to the STANDBY button (2.) on the front
panel may remain green although the stand-by
mode is activated.
