The Regulated XLR Output of the OUT 3-Module
The OUT 3 Module comprises a balanced line preamplifier stage. This preamplifier is able to direct-
ly drive a power amplifier or an active speaker via the XLR connection. The function of this stage is
switchable between the Regulated and FIX level. The XLR Output Module can therefore be used
for driving balanced power - and preamplifiers. The gain of this Module is also adjustable, but this
should be left to a qualified technician, and instructions in this regard are not described in this
Manual.
Unregulated, Fix Output
The FIX Output is recommended for the connection of preamplifers and integrated amps via RCA.
The average output level is the same value as a CD Player. The regulated and the unregulated
outputs are both muted during the warm pp and the auto muting phases.
Advice: if there are two components connected to the FIX and Regulated Outputs at the same
time, there may be a degradation of the sound if the unit connected to the FIX Output is switched
OFF. Also, if the FIX Output is not selected by the connected unit, there may be a degradation of
the sound or level on the signal of the Regulated Output. If this problem occurs, the component
connected to the FIX Out should be disconnected from the Phono Module.
Frequency Response
The Frequency Response of the Regulated Output Amplier is flat far beyond the audible
range.
