AUDIO SOURCE CONNECTIONS

To provide your audio system with the input
signals (from CD-Players, Tuners etc.) connect their
stereo audio outputs to the inputs of this pre-ampli-
fier using RCA and XLR connections. The output
connectors of your source devices are mostly
named "Output", "Audio Out", "Front OUT" or
"Line OUT".
Inputs „Line1" to „Line 5" represent standard high
level audio inputs.

CONNECTION TO A RECORDING DEVICE
If that is desired you can connect a recording
device like a CD-Recorder or a tape recorder to the
preamplifier's „REC Output" RCA connectors.
It delivers the unchanged, fixed level (line level) of
the source device that is connected to the
SA-93Plus and currently selected. This output level
is independent from the volume and mute settings.
Recording device:
CD recorder, tape recorder etc.

The „balanced" input can only be connected to a
device equipped with symmetrical output. At the
source device you can recognize it by the three-
pin XLR-type of the output jack. Leave the XLR input
of your pre-amplifier open if none of your audio
sources uses this. Sometimes both types of output
connectors are provided.
For utilization of a record player mostly a separa-
te phono pre-amplifier is needed. It must be situa-
ted in the signal path between record player and
pre-amplifier high level input. Most types are RCA-
connected. Some models integrate this small
amplifier unit and can be connected directly to the
pre-amplifier.
For more information see manuals of the source
devices to be connected.

Connect this signal output of the preamplifier (REC
Output) using RCA cables to the signal input
(„Record" or „Input") of the recording device.
It is possible to connect other types of audio devi-
ces (mixing desk, Personal Computer).
Note: The signal of the „balanced"
input (XLR) is not avalilable for
recording at the REC Output!

POWER CABLE CONNECTION

To establish the power supply push the plug of the
power cable into the AC socket on the back panel
and connect the plug on the other side of the
cable to a 220V-240V AC wall outlet.
Notes on Bi-Amping
This mode of operation can only be set up using

OPERATION

When switched off the device is internally separated from the AC power. It has no standby circuit, it is
switched on and off at the front panel and not from the remote controller. Four seconds after switching
on the pre-amplifier is operational.
POWER
Switch on and off
Keep the Level -Button pressed to increase the volume. Use the Level -button to decrease it. You can use
either the front panel buttons or the remote controller buttons. In the process of changing volume the display
changes to indicating the momentary numerical value of the setting. The volume minimum appears at -99dB,
the maximum volume setting is 0dB.
LEVEL
Set the Volume LEVEL
Shortly press the corresponding touch button to change to the desired input channel (Line1-5 or balanced).
You find those buttons at the front panel as well as on the remote controller. For a short period the dis-
play shows only the name of the input channel. As a precaution, prior to changing the input channel the
value of the volume setting should be reduced!

One channel of the system and thus one of the speakers of your system can be adjusted to be more loud
than the other one. This balance adjustment can only be made using the corresponding remote control-
ler buttons. Sometimes this is desirable if you are situated closer to one of the speakers than to the other
one because then you will perceive a volume difference. The channel volume balance can be set in 10
steps to both sides respectively. The maximum difference appears at the setting displaying „+10dB".
Additionally the display shows the name of the channel that has the higher volume. At „0dB" both chan-
nels are in balance.

(unsymmetrical) RCA-interconnections and four
main amplifier channels, for example two stereo
main amplifiers connected as seen in (1).
Additionally the speakers must be suited for this.
More information about the cable connections
between main amplifier and loudspeakers is
available in the manuals of those components.
