5. Connecting and Powering the Unit

WARNING: All connections between the EVO PHONODAC TWO
must be made when all units are turned off and completely powered down or
unplugged. Failing to do so may cause damage to the EVO PHONODAC TWO
other units.
Please refer to chapter 3, "Back Panel".
Connect the EVO PHONODAC TWO to a computer with a 2.0 A-B USB cable connected to
the USB port (Fig. 2,8). We recommend the cable be no longer than 3m.
If you also own the EVO CLOCK TWO , connect its master clock output to the EVO
PHONODAC TWO external clock input (Fig. 2, 6) with a 75 Ohms BNC-terminated cable
(not in stock). It is also possible to use other clock generators, whereas their output is able
to drive 75 Ohms matched lines.
If the EVO CLOCK TWO is not used and a digital source needs to be connected instead,
connect the latter's digital output to EVO PHONODAC TWO S/PDIF input (Fig. 2, 6), using a
digital interconnect terminated with an RCA plug on one side and a BNC plug on the other
side, or use an RCA digital interconnect and an RCA-to-BNC adapter on the EVO
PHONODAC TWO side.
If the EVO CLOCK TWO is used, connect its clock info optical input to the EVO PHONODAC
TWO clock info output (Fig. 2, 9) using a Toslink™ fibre interconnect (not in stock) to make
the EVO CLOCK TWO clock switching automatic.
Connect the output of an analog source to the EVO PHONODAC TWO analog input (Fig. 2,
10) using a stereo analog interconnect terminated with RCA.
When the analog source is low level or whenever the best signal-to-noise ratio is required,
connect the source chassis/earth post to the EVO PHONODAC TWO chassis post (Fig. 2, 5).
This is also useful to connect the EVO PHONODAC TWO chassis to an earth connection, to
avoid floating voltages injecting noise in the signal.
Connect the input of an analog device to the EVO PHONODAC TWO analog output (Fig. 2,
11) using a stereo analog interconnect terminated with RCA.
Connect the stock wall wart or one of the EVO SUPPLY TWO outputs to the supply input of
the EVO PHONODAC TWO (Fig. 2, 4).
NOTE: the EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO cannot be powered by the USB bus 5V supply,
EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO
therefore a power supply or adaptor is always needed.
WARNING: the maximum voltage allowed by the EVO PHONODAC TWO
connector is 15V. Whenever a power supply delivering more than 15V is used, the
EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO may be damaged. Should this be the case, the warranty is void EVO PHONODAC TWO
and servicing or replacement of the faulty unit will be charged to the user.
