12V TRIGGER Connection
t
Some audio components can be turned on automatically when they receive a
12V turn on "signal". The two12V Trigger Outputs on the RC-1590 provide
the required signal. Connect compatible components to the RC-1590 with
a conventional 3.5mm mini mono plug cable. When the RC-1590 is in
standby mode, the trigger signal is disabled, so the components controlled
by it will be turned off.
NOTE: Do not connect both the Rotel Link and 12V trigger cables at
the same time. The 12V trigger's power on or off features will override
the Rotel Link features.
Input Signal Connections
See Figure 3
NOTE: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will
appreciate, make sure the system is turned off when you make any
signal connections.
Phono Input i and Ground Connection (GND)
See Figure 3
Plug the cable from the turntable into the appropriate left and right phono
inputs. If the turntable has a "ground" wire, connect it to the screw terminal
to the left of the Phono inputs. This will help prevent hum and noise.
Line Level Inputs io
See Figure 3
The CD, Tuner, and Aux inputs of the amplifier are analog "line level" inputs.
These inputs are for connecting components such as CD players or other
audio playback devices with an analog audio output.
The left and right channels are clearly labeled and should be connected to
the corresponding channels of the source component. The Left connectors
are white, the Right connectors are red. Use high quality RCA cables for
connecting input source components to the RC-1590. Ask your authorized
Rotel dealer for advice about cables.
Balanced (XLR) Inputs \
See Figure 4
A pair of balanced XLR inputs accept audio signals from CD player, Blu-ray
player or other source components with XLR outputs.
NOTE: You should choose only one method of analog connection from
a source component to RC-1590. Do not connect both the RCA and
XLR outputs of a source component to the RC-1590 at the same time.
Digital Inputs -
See Figure 5
There are three sets of digital inputs labeled 1, 2 and 3, for COAXIAL and
OPTICAL respectively. Connect the COAXIAL or OPTICAL PCM outputs of
your source component into these sockets. The digital signals will be decoded
and played by the RC-1590. The unit is capable of decoding PCM signals
up to 24 bit, 192kHz.
Output Connections
Digital output
If you are using an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor, you
will need an unprocessed digital data stream from the RC-1590. Using a
standard 75 ohm coax/optical digital cable, connect the RC-1590's digital
output to the digital input connector on the outboard D/A converter.
Line Output
The line output connectors can be used to send the analog audio to a separate
processor device. These outputs bypass the volume encoder and are full line
level output. They should be connected to the analog inputs of the processor.
As with other sources be sure to connect the Left and Right channels of each
device to the proper channels on the associated components. Use high
quality connecting cables to prevent loss of sound quality.
MONO SUB Output
u
There are 2 connectors for mono subwoofer output to connect to a subwoofer.
These mono outputs are summed with both the left and right audio signal.
They are parallel outputs allowing 2 subwoofers to be connected to the
RC-1590.
Preamp Output
See Figure 3
The RC-1590 RCA-type output connectors are compatible with most power
amplifiers. As always, select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect
the left and right channel outputs of the RC-1590 to the corresponding inputs
on the amplifier or other component.
NOTE: There are two sets of RCA outputs on the RC-1590. The second
set of outputs may be used in custom system configurations to drive
a second power amplifier or to supply a signal to a special signal
processor.
Balanced (XLR) Preamp Output
See Figure 4
Two pairs of XLR balanced connectors supply an analog output signal from
the RC-1590 to a power amplifier with XLR balanced input connectors.
NOTE: Do not connect both the RCA and XLR to the same amplifier
at the same time.
Headphone Output 5
The headphone output allows you to connect headphones for private listening.
This output accepts a standard 3.5mm (1/8") mini stereo headphone
connector. Plugging in a set of headphones does not cut off the signal to the
preamp outputs. In most instances you should turn off the power amplifier
when listening to headphones.
