First, you must ensure that ULTIMA PRE, and any connecting
equipment, is turned off.
You can connect ULTIMA PRE to a source using any of the highlighted
inputs shown below.
Please note that each input is arranged as a stereo pair, right and then
left which is indicated on the furthermost sides of the inputs. Later,
when you come to switch ULTIMA PRE on, each pair of inputs will
be shown as 'LINE X' on the display. LINE 1-4 begins with the pairs of
XLRs and LINE 5-8 is the RCA pair next to these and so on.
Note that the connectors on the right hand side of the unit are
outputs and bypass ports. You must not connect any inputs here.
