Connections - Burmester 035 Owner's Manual

All terminals for hook up are located on the rear panel. While connecting the pre amplifier all components of the
music system must be turned off.
CAUTION: Before connecting the unit please check if the input voltage of the 035 is equal to the local voltage of
your wall outlet. Make sure the ground lead in your power outlet is working correctly. A missing or faulty ground is
extremely dangerous!
In case of doubt contact a licensed electrician.
AC mains terminal Make sure the AC mains switch (19) is set to OFF. Connect the appliance connector of the
power cord to the AC mains terminal (18). Then plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
Inputs To connect source components like CD-Player, FM-Tuner, Tape deck etc. the pre amplifier
provides two balanced inputs (XLR) named INPUT CD (33) and INPUT TUNER (32) and
two unbalanced inputs (RCA) named INPUT AUX (31) and INPUT TAPE (30). For the
best sound we recommend using the balanced inputs whenever possible.
The pinning of the balanced inputs is: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.
NOTICE: If necessary, the balanced inputs can be converted to unbalanced mode by using
XLR-RCA adapter plugs. These adapter plugs are available on request at your local dealer.
PHONO input There are three options to operate the INPUT PHONO (34):
• • • • CD-SYM module (balanced high level module)
• • • • PHONO-MC module (for turntable with moving coil pickup system)

CONNECTIONS

In standard version the PHONO input is implemented with a CD-SYM module. In this
case the PHONO input is another balanced high level input like CD and TUNER inputs.
With an implemented PHONO-MC module (accessory, available on request at your local
dealer) the PHONO input becomes a balanced PHONO-MC input. If necessary, the
PHONO-MC input can be converted to unbalanced mode by using XLR-RCA adapter
plugs. These adapter plugs are available on request at your local dealer.
With the 4-pole DIL switches onto the PHONO-MC module you can conform the
impedance of your pickup system to the module. In OFF-position the PHONO-MC
module has an input impedance of 100Ω. You can lower the impedance by setting the
DIL switches:
1 ON: 82Ω Ω Ω Ω
2 ON: 39Ω Ω Ω Ω
3 ON: 22Ω Ω Ω Ω
4 ON: 10Ω Ω Ω Ω
The ON-position is marked onto the switches.
