To manage the important level differences existing between conventional CD and LINE sources
and other devices capable of producing audio signals, the LINE inputs 1-3 of the eSAM402 are
standard line inputs (0dBV) and the sensitivity of the LINE input #4 can be selected (0/-6dBV) by
internal jumper (the default position is 0dBV). A sensitivity of -6dBV is ideal for low-level sound
sources such as media players, portable MP3 players, tablets, computers, mobile phones, etc.
Turntables CAN NOT be directly connected to this unit, because eSAM402 has no RIAA preamp
equipped input.
5. OUTPUTS
The eSAM402 has a main stereo output (OUT L / OUT R), with electronically balanced Euroblock
connectors.
Connection is made according to the following diagram:
The mixer's main output level (OUTPUT VOL) must be set in order to avoid your system power amp
clipping indicators (CLIP) to be permanently lit. Only the most powerful lower frequencies must light them.
Other connections on the back panel:
AUX/REC output with a nominal output of 0dBV (10k load) and an extra gain setting of +6dB,
enabled by internal jumper (0dBV is the default position).
L+R switch: convert output signals in a mono signal.
MUTE remote control input: enabled by external dry contact closure. It allows connection of fire
detection systems and other safety devices that have to mute the mixer by using this control signal.
The mode of operation is "NO" (normally open).
