INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS The OBH-11 has two pairs of stereo phono sockets (RCA jacks) on the rear panel. The first pair is the Input from any line level source, direct from the source or via the tape output of an amplifier. The second pair of sockets, marked Output, are to chain link the signal onto the next component in the system. Therefore, the OBH-11 can be driven from the Tape Output of an amplifier and the second set of sockets can be used to link the signal to the Tape recorder input. There is a 2.1mm DC power jack, with centre positive pin, for connection to a custom Creek OBH type power supply adaptor. On the front panel there is one 1/4" (6.3mm) stereo socket, for plugging in the headphones. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Connect the OBH power supply adaptor to the mains socket. Find a suitable place for the OBH-11 and plug the DC power lead into the rear panel DC jack socket. Connect a pair of high quality interconnect cables from the output of the source to the input sockets on the rear of the OBH-11. Refer to the wiring diagrams showing the different options for connecting the OBH-11 to your system. Plug the headphones into the socket on the front panel. Push the On/Off button on the rear to power-up the OBH-11. The small green LED on the front panel will light when it is ready for use. The front panel volume control should be set to the desired signal level. POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS In common with all electrical appliances, the OBH-11 needs a power source. The requirements for the OBH-11 is 24 Volts DC at 150 milli Amps current. A custom power supply has been provided to run it, which must be connected to the unit via the DC inlet (2.1mm positive centre pin power jack) on the rear panel. The power supply adaptor should be plugged into the mains socket which should be matched for the voltage of the country of use. N.B. Due to the circuitry charging-up it is normal to hear a small thump through the headphones during switch-on. Note 1: The OBH should be placed away from transformer hum fields for low noise operation. Note 2: When new, it is necessary for the OBH to be burned-in for at least 24 hours before its full sound quality potential can be realised. Note 3: Listening to excessive sound pressure levels can seriously damage your hearing. Be careful and enjoy the music.
