PHASi N G
Acoustat speakers are designed topreserve thecorrect absolute phase throughout the system, including
the final coupling of the signal to the air. Thi s ensures that both vocalists and instruments will sound
as
natural possible. Phasing depends on the correct connections from the interface. Be sure these
connections are correctly oriented, I.e. r e d (+) to red, and black (-) to black.
E L E C T R I C FEEDBACK
Electrostatic speakers produce a strong electric field which can influence the operation of any low level
electronic circuitry in close proximity Thi s can result in feedback well above the audio spectrum, which
has the effect of power dissipation and decreased headroom in the system. For this reason the
turntable/cartridge leads and the phono lnputs of the preampilfier should be kept at least sixtoeightfeet
from the nearest speaker to ensure that no feedback can occur.
WARNING! DO NOT apply audio signal to the interface wlth the AC Power removed, hence no panel bias!
to
switched outlets is not recommended. DO NOT exceed fuse ratings or bypass fuse
Connection
receptabie. Either of the above conditions will result in damage to the low frequency transformer if the
interface Is overdriven. requiring an expensive repair not covered by,the warranty.
