Interconnects / Mounting Slots; Adapter Plugs - Burmester 808 MK5 Owner's Manual

Interconnects / Mounting slots

To connect balanced input modules requires special interconnects with two separate
signal leads and a common shielding. For this we recommend - as for all
interconnections of your stereo system – using our proprietary cable BURMESTER LILA
3 or BURMESTER SILVER. It is available in any custom length and with any plug
combination and hook-up configuration, including a separate tonearm mass cable.
Consult your dealer and our ACCESSORIES price list.
Basically, any input module will function on any of the six mounting slots. However, you
should keep the following in mind:
• The phono module should located in the mounting slot PHONO 1 because it is the
only one with parallel jacks for adapter plugs.
• All linear modules contain a tape loop but it is only functional in the mounting slots
TAPE 1 and TAPE 2.
• The AUX module can be used in any of the six mounting slots but only in unbalanced
operation. Since balanced operation is not possible the dip switches of the AUX
module must be set to unbalanced. The level control of the AUX module affects all
six AUX inputs.
• The TAPE 2 mounting slot is also designed for unbalanced operation only. The dip
switches of this module, too, must be set to unbalanced operation.

Adapter plugs

XLR-RCA. If all AUX inputs (27) are used for unbalanced signal sources it is possible to
connect unbalanced signal sources also to XLR terminals by using adapter plugs. In this
case the dip switches of the respective input module must be set to unbalanced
operation.
