CONNECTION OF A RECORDING DEVICE
If you want, you can use the RCA sockets "OUTPUT REC" (12) on the back of the appliance to connect an
analogue stereo recording device (e.g. CD recorder, cassette recorder etc.) or another appliance that is
intended for receiving the unchanged, fixed stereo output level (line level) from the signal source selected on
the amplifier at any given time. The output level is independent from the volume setting. Please note that while
the preamplifier is muted (10) the recording output is switched off.
RCA connection
SA-T7MK Diamond
Recording device,
e.g. tape recorder
LINE IN
Connect this signal output to the signal input ("LINE IN", "TAPE IN" or "REC IN") on the recording appliance
using RCA cables. Please note that some recording equipment can have a slightly detrimental effect on the
audio signal quality. Some recording devices have rather low input impedance, which can slightly alter the
input signal voltage. For maximal music enjoyment we recommend that you connect to the "REC" terminal only
for as long as the recording is actually being made.
CONNECTION OF ONE OR MORE POWER AMPLIFIERS
This preamplifier has two stereo preamplifier outputs with RCA connectors for the main amplifier channels. In
this way it is possible to drive four loudspeakers or bi-amp one pair of loudspeakers (e. g. using two stereo
main amplifiers). The main amplifiers supply the system's loudspeakers and the loudspeakers are connected
to the outputs of these. Instead of each stereo main amplifier shown here you can alternatively use two mono
main amplifiers.
To connect one pair of loudspeakers you will need two main amplifier channels, for example one stereo main
amplifier. Connect both sockets named "1" in the field "OUTPUT" (15) with the RCA input sockets of the main
amplifier channels (often marked as "INPUT" or "POWER AMP IN"). Please pay attention not to interchange
right with left channels. The letters "R" and "L" indicate the correct correlation. You may further use the SA-
T7MK preamplifier output marked with "2" for a headphone amplifier.
You can as well use both stereo outputs at the same time, giving way for up to 4 main amplifier channels to
supply their loudspeaker. For that all you need to do is connect all remaining stereo outputs (15) with additi-
onal main amplifier channel inputs.
