4. INPUT SELECTION SWITCH
This switch directly below the ‘TAPE 1’ input is used to select the pair of CD input
sockets required as described above. Up selects the CD RCA input connections,
while down selects CD XLR input.
5. OUTPUT TERMINALS
Connections for the loudspeakers are provided on the right hand side of the rear
panel. Two parallel pairs of five way binding posts for each channel are fitted – these
provide ease of use with bi-wiring and multiple cables requiring a large contact area.
6. TAPE OUTPUTS
These RCA outputs are situated next to the tape RCA inputs, and are provided to
interface to a pair of line level recording devices. The position of the record selector
on the front panel determines from which device a recording is being made. As these
tape outputs are always ‘live’, both can be used to record the chosen signal at any time.
7. MUTE SWITCH
The mute switch enables muting of the preamplifier, without the need to use the
remote control. When the amplifier is in mute, the LED on the front panel will dim.
NOTE: Mute does not disconnect the outputs.
8. GROUND LIFT SWITCH
This switch allows the signal ground to be disconnected from the chassis. In some
installations a hum loop may exist due to duplicate ground paths from different
equipment. Use this switch to remove the connection from 0V to ground thus
allowing some flexibility in your particular set-up.
9. PROCESSOR SOURCE AND RETURN
These RCA connections are for use with a multi-channel sound processor. They
are provided so that you can use the Plinius 9200 as either two channels in a multi-
channel environment, or to send signal through the 9200 to an external processor.
Refer to the ‘Installation & Operation’ section on page 11 for more information.
10. PROCESSOR SWITCH
This switch is used in conjunction with the processor source and return terminals, and
controls whether the amplifier is used via the normal inputs or the processor return input.
11. PRE OUT OUTPUT
The Pre-Out connection is provided to enable the Plinius 9200 to be connected to an
external power amplifier.
