The Heart of the System - Preamp and DAC This product is a unique combination of a very high performance DAC and the ultimate passive preamp. For the best possible sound in your system, it should be connected directly to your audio amplifiers. Our preamp philosophy is based on the belief that from the moment analog audio is created, every transition that is made degrades the sound quality. - Page 10 Select Dual and Mono Powerbases The powerbase contains isolation technology. The powerbase detects the input voltage and switches to 120 volt or 240 volt operation. It is also available in a fixed 100 volt configuration. All powerbases have over-voltage protection. Two fuses are provided: - 5A 250V SLO BLO - 5 mm x 20 mm miniature fuse (This is the main fuse).
- Page 11 Powerbase - 12 Volt Remote Trigger This powerbase is equipped with a remote trigger for use with other MSB products. The trigger uses a 3 pin mini jack. When any MSB product is turned off, the other products connected will also turn off and vice-versa.
- Page 12 Ground Jumper IN - Basic Operation The Basic Operation provides isolation only for the DAC. This gets you half the protection available. For full protection, be sure the jumper is in place between the Chassis Ground and Amplifier Ground. This is the shipping configuration. NEVER OPERATE WITHOUT THE JUMPER OR A GROUND WIRE ATTACHED.
- Page 13 Mono Powerbase Grounding Diagram In the configuration you will lift the Grounding lug jumper on both powerbases and then make a connection between the “Amp Ground” lug on both the powerbases and then add an additional lead from ONE of your powerbases to ONE of your mono-block amplifiers or to your single stereo amplfier.
