The Regulated RCA OUT Output of the OUT 2-Module
The OUT 2 Module comprises a single-ended line preamplifier stage. This preamplifier is able to
drive an power amplifier or an active speaker direct via RCA connection. The gain of this stage is
adjustable in two steps to match the level to the efficiency of the amplifier or loudspeaker.
Unregulated, FIX Output
The FIX Output is recommended for the RCA connection of preamplifers and integrated amps.
The average output level is the same value as that of a CD Player. The regulated and the unregu-
lated Outputs are both muted during the warm up and the auto-muting phases.
Advice: If two components are connected to the FIX and Regulated Outputs at the same time,
there may be a degradation of the sound when the unit connected to the FIX Output is switched
OFF. If the FIX Output is not selected by the connected unit, there also may be a degradation of
the sound or lLevel on the signal of the regulated output. If this problem occurs, the component
onnected to the FIX Out should be disconnected from the Phono Module.
