5. Balanced Input - for connecting signal patch cables (interconnects) from the preamplifier to the amplifier. Explained further on Page 4. * On the Reference 200.2, channel 3 is not available. On the Reference 200.1 mono amplifier, channels 2 and 3’s XLR Balanced connections are not available. -
Page 7: Level Adjustment
LEVEL ADJUSTMENT Generally in a home theater application, volume level is controlled by the A/V surround processor. In a system for use with the Reference 200.3, 200.2 or 200.1, adjustment of the volume level must be performed using the external preamplifier/processor. The Reference 200.3, 200.2 or 200.1, allows signal patch cables (interconnects) to be sourced from either balanced or unbalanced line level preamplifier/processor outputs. -
