To increase the gain on these outputs it is necessary to purchase extra active Output Module/s as required, one per stereo output. Your dealer can adv ise. To prevent unwanted noises , the active Output module has a muting circuit that shorts the signal to ground when the pre-amp is switched on and off. Caution: The outputs that have only Link PCB's fitt ed do not mute the output on switching-on or off. A s pec ial Bridging module is also available that will allow tw o power amplifiers to be connected in bridge mono mode, providing much higher output power. Tape output is provided on sockets Tape Output 1 and 2 and has a 1K Ω impedance, which is low enough to drive most machines. As the outputs are elec trically buffered it is not possible to load the normal signal path of the pre-amplifier by using one or two low impedance tape recorders.

To record from a source component, rotate selector (2) to the desired input. This two control facility allows you to listen to a different input from one you may want to record . If you want to record from one tape recorder to another it is necessary to select the source recorder on (2) and monitor the recording on (1) . Balance (3) and Volume (5) controls alter the amount of signal a llowed through the pre-amplifier prior to being amplified by the Output module. Normally, the (3) should be set with the marker in the vertical position for equal sound level from each channel. If more or less sound level is required from one channel, turn the control either way until the desired bal ance is achieved. The Volume control functions as an attenuator for the signal, reducing the level from the maximum possible. It does not boost the signal level. The Phones socket (4) is inoperative until configured by the deal er. A plug-in module is required to provide the amplification for headphones. The Phones output has an impedance of 220 Ω and the amplification factor is determined by the impedance of the phones used. Control the level required by the volume control. When the Phones socket is used the active Output modules will be muted.
