Datasheet

The line input
A line input is located on the rear of the Aureon SoundSystem. You can use it to connect ana-
log devices with line outputs, such as the audio output of a radio or video recorder. If you are
not using a cassette deck, a connection to the output on your amplifier marked “TAPE OUT”
will likely be the most convenient connection option. The advantage of this arrangement is
that it makes it easy to use the amplifier to determine which of the connected devices will
send a signal to this output. This selector will usually be marked on the amplifier with “TAPE
RECORD SELECT” or something similar. For more information on recording from this input, see
page 14 (Recording? And how!). The input is designed for a voltage level of 2 Vrms.
The turntable (Phono) input
The rear of the module also has a special input for recording from a turntable without having
an amplifier being switched in between. The built-in phono preamp allows you to connect the
player directly to it, and the necessary equalization is performed within the module. To elimi-
nate the possibility of power-line hum, connect the ground cable of your turntable to the
Aureon 7.1 FireWire sound module. To do this, use the included RCA grounding adapter.
Please ensure that your turntable uses a so-called “moving magnet” (MM, MD) pickup system.
The SoundSystem is not optimized for connection of a “moving coil” (MC) system, which is a
rarer variety of pickup. If you would like to use an MC system nevertheless, please ensure that
it generates a minimum output voltage of 2-3 mV (please refer to the documentation of the
pickup system).
