Connection Of Headphones - VINCENT SV-226MKII Manuel D'utilisation

The SV-226MKII is equipped with two output connectors for the power control. Here, the switching signal
generated by the SV-226MKII is available for other components of the system. Two HiFi components that
are able to react to the power control signal can be connected directly to the amplifier's power control
outputs (17). If more than two devices, which can be controlled, are to be connected, then it is necessa-
ry to make the power control connection between the amplifier and these further devices through the out-
puts of the two devices which are connected directly. For that reason, every HiFi component that accepts
power control signals is also equipped with a power control output. Thus, in theory it is possible to pro-
vide an infinite number of HiFi components with the power control signal. This approach, to loop a signal
through a chain of components, is commonly referred to as "daisy chaining".
SV-226MKII
Many devices which can be controlled by a switching signal (not preamplifiers or integrated
amplifiers), have two terminals which do not differentiate between input and output. In this case
either of the two can be selected.
"POWER CONTROL" sockets of preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers must not be interconnec-
ted! All receiving devices must not be connected to more than one preamplifier or integrated
amplifier (directly or indirectly)!

CONNECTION OF HEADPHONES

A set of headphones equipped with a 6.3 mm jack can be plugged into the socket "PHONES" (10) on
the front of the appliance.

By doing this, the loudspeakers are switched off. All headphones with an impedance of between 32 Ohm
and 600 Ohm may be used. Unsuitable headphones with too low impedance may damage the amplifier
or produce such unexpectedly loud volume that your hearing may be damaged. The volume (3)(20) should
be reduced for safety reasons before a set of phones is connected.

Either a single speaker pair (A) or two speaker pairs (A+B) can be connected to the amplifier SV-226MKII.
Both outputs are identically provided with the stereo signal of the currently selected input source if outputs
A and B have been activated (4). For each loudspeaker you will find two connector screws (positive +
und negative –) at the amplifier's backside. One side of the speaker cable must be attached here. Each
pair of screws has a label "R" or "L" nearby to clarify to which stereo channel it belongs. At the loudspea-
ker connection terminal there are similar connector screws or connectors. There, the polarity of each screw
(+ or –) can be identified as well and the other side of the speaker cable associated with this speaker must
be attached. Make sure only connector screws of the same polarity will be connected by each speaker
cable wire: a knob marked "+" in the amplifier's terminal must be connected with a speaker's connector
screw marked "+" as well.
Our sketch shows all connections necessary for one pair of speakers. If a second pair of loudspeakers is
intended to be used, the connector screws of the lower row (speakers B) must be connected in a similar
e.g. Main amplifier
fashion to the additional speakers' input connectors.
If every speaker is connected in a conventional way (a two core speaker cable for each loudspeaker) and
you own loudspeakers that are equipped with Bi-Wiring terminals (four connector screws) you have to make
sure that the metal brackets (contact pieces consisting of small metal plates or short pieces of cable which
are supplied with the speakers) are applied to the terminal and that each one connects the two knobs of the
same polarity (e.g. both connectors marked "+"). The connector screw labelled "+" and "R" at the ampli-
fier's backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labelled "+" connectors of the loudspeaker assi-
gned to the right stereo channel. Accordingly, the connector screw labelled "–" and "R" at the amplifier's
backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labelled "–" connectors of the loudspeaker assigned to
the right stereo channel. Connect the left side loudspeaker in the corresponding way.
If you are using ready made loudspeaker cables with 4 mm banana plugs, all you need to do is connect
the two plugs on each loudspeaker cable end to the two associated speaker connectors. Turn the connector
screws clockwise to fasten them.
