OMICRON ISSUE 2 DEC ‘98

BALANCED INPUTS (CONTINUED)

again, the circuit will then engage. For use with balanced preamplifiers other than Classé, the

wiring of the 3-pin XLR connectors must be matched to that of the CLASSÉ OMICRON which is

wired as follows:

PIN 1: GROUND

PIN 2: POSITIVE (NON-INVERTED) SIGNAL, “HOT”

PIN 3: NEGATIVE (INVERTED) SIGNAL

All Classé preamplifiers and amplifiers are configured as above. Some preamplifiers from other

manufacturers have PIN-3 set as the positive or “HOT” side. If this is true of your preamplifier, and

you wish to maintain absolute phase throughout your system, the interconnects must have the wire

which is connected to PIN-3 at the preamplifier output end switched to PIN-2 at the amplifier input

end and the wire which is connected to PIN-2 at the preamplifier output switched to PIN-3 at the

amplifier input end.

Having confirmed the correct connections, plug the XLR connectors of the balanced

interconnects into the locking XLR connectors on the rear panel of the OMICRON. Push the

connectors in until the locking mechanism clicks. (To remove the connectors, press the tab above the

connector while pulling gently on the connector body.)
