Generally in a home theater application, volume level is controlled by the A/V surround processor. In a system for
use with the Reference 200.7 or 200.5, adjustment of the volume level must performed using the external
preamplifier/processor.
The Reference 200.7 and Reference 200.5 allow signal patch cables (interconnects) to be sourced from either
balanced or unbalanced line level preamplifier/processor outputs. A switch is used to configure a PAIR of
AMPLIFIER CHANNELS for use with either balanced (XLR) or RCA unbalanced preamplifier/processor line
outputs.
XLR BALANCED
There are seven balanced input connectors on a Reference 200.7 and five on a Reference 200.5. These
connectors accept balanced line level output from the preamplifier's balanced output connectors.
RCA UNBALANCED
There are seven RCA unbalanced input connectors on a Reference 200.7 and five on a Reference 200.5. These
connectors accept RCA unbalanced line level output from the preamplifier's RCA output connectors.
