Input Connections
Best results will be obtained when connecting the VK-1000 to a balanced preamplifier.
However, the VK-1000 is designed to accept either balanced or single-ended inputs.
Balanced Components
Use balanced XLR interconnects to connect the VK-1000 to balanced preamplifier. Input
connectors are clearly marked on the back panel. Either input connector can be used (they
are internally wired in parallel).
Note: The VK-1000 input XLR connectors are wired as follows:
Pin 1:
common/shield
Pin 2:
positive
Pin 3:
negative
Single-Ended Components
Single-ended components have RCA connectors. The VK-1000 power amplifier is
designed to work with either single-ended or balanced preamplifiers connected to its inputs.
All that is required to connect a single-ended preamplifier with RCA connectors to the
VK-1000’s inputs is the optional balanced to single-ended adapters. These adapters are
available from Balanced Audio Technology at a nominal charge.
Input Adapters:
RCA Female to XLR Male
Speaker Connections
There are two sets of high quality binding posts on the back panel of the VK-1000 to
allow for easy bi-wiring. These can accommodate a wide variety of speaker cable
terminals. You can use a 1/2” wrench to tighten these binding posts, however excessive
force should be avoided to eliminate the chance of breakage.
