  • Page 6: Highlights

    This secondary, IC based volume control alters the volume without any click or pops. Once the new volume is set, the 727 will revert to the sonically superior path with its high-precision metal foil resistors.
  • Page 7 Distributed Local Power Supply: The basis for the dual mono power supply of the 727 preamplifier is a switched mode power supply (SMPS) which converts mains voltage into an intermediate DC voltage. Highly efficient DC-DC converters and extremely low-noise and fast linear regulators generate the supply voltages needed to operate the 727 preamplifier.
  • Page 8: Safety Advice

     during thunderstorms  when leaving the unit unused for longer periods Cabling Unplug the 727 from the mains while connecting or disconnect- ing interconnect cables. Incorrect cabling may cause damage to your 727, amplifier or loudspeakers. Excessive volume due to inappropriate handling may cause hearing damage.
  • Page 9: Unpacking

    Take care; on the sides of the crate. the unit is heavy! Original packing Please keep the original packing for future transport require- ments. Always ship the 727 preamplifier in its original packing. page...
  • Page 10: Scope Of Delivery

    Do not cover the surface of the 727 preamplifier with a cloth or any other object as the complete chassis acts as a heat sink.

  • Page 12: Connections

    Connect your source devices to the 727 preamplifier with high-quality interconnect cables. For long cable runs, we recommend balanced cables. Thanks to the very high common mode rejection of the 727 preamplifier, any noise picked up by long cable runs is effectively suppressed. For best results, we recommend keeping interconnect and power cables well separated from each other.
  • Page 13 Connect your source devices with unbalanced interconnect cables to the 727 preampli- fier. For longer cable runs we suggest using the balanced inputs. The balanced input stage of the 727 preamplifier can be configured as a differential or an unbalanced input stage. The configuration functions IN 4: INPUT-TYPE and IN 5: INPUT-TYPE allow you to select the desired mode of operation.
  • Page 14 The negative pin of the RCA output is not affected by this set- ting and always remains connected to the ground of the 727 preamplifier. The 727 is a non-inverting amplifier. However, the phase of the output signal can be inverted by using the configuration functions IN x: POLARITY.
  • Page 15 Connect the LINK Series 3 socket to the Link-Com socket on your Series 3 unit. Series 3 units connected to the 727 preamplifier via this interface can be centrally switched on and off. Use cables with 3.5mm audio jacks. The LINK Series 3 connection does not convey any audio signal.
  • Page 16: Operation

    Standby Power-up sequence Ready to operate If the 727 preamplifier is on, the power (K) button will put the unit back into standby (power consumption <1W). mute (L) The mute (L) button disconnects or reconnects all inputs and outputs from the analog circuits of 727 preamplifier.
