Page 1: User Manual
TAP-X Autoformer Pre-Amplifier System User Manual Thank you for choosing the TAP-X pre-amplifier. Your ownership experience is very important to us so if at any time you have any questions please contact us directly at: (604)538-9812 www.bentaudio.com... - Page 2 TAP-X does a better and better job of driving cables and amplifiers. From an impedance point of view the TAP-X 'looks' much like an active pre-amp. It does this - as it does with the above features - without adding additional circuitry to the signal path.

Page 3: Input Switching
Choosing the model you need is simple – if you have more than one source (or think there is a good chance you'll add a source in the future) then use the 6 input TAP-X. If you are quite sure you'll only have a single source then the One Input TAP-X is the best choice. -
Page 4: Unpacking And Installation
Although we are fans of keeping cables a reasonable length it is just fine to use moderately long cables from pre-amp to your power amp. Because of this the TAP-X may be located just like a traditional active pre-amp would be located - in your rack close to the source components (CD Player, Phono stage, etc). - Page 5 Step 3 - Connect the TAPE Output There are a set of TAPE output connectors on the back of the TAP-X pre-amp. These can be used to feed a Tape Deck or CD Recorder input jack. These output jacks are switched on and off via a button on the front panel (the TAPE button - as you might expect).

Page 6: Step 4 - Power Connection
- the are no connections from power to the main output's passive signal path. In the case of the full feature TAP-X the power is used for the sub out level control and buffer circuit. Once the power is inside the TAP-X it is routed through a custom R-Core Tamura isolation/splitter transformer to derive the split rails for the buffer circuit power supply. - Page 7 - so after a power cycle it will power up in your preferred mode. The two selections for the toggle are: 'ON' - When this mode is selected the TAP-X will power up with the display mode set to ON. In this mode the front panel display will stay on continuously.

Page 8: Volume Knob
This button toggles between mute and normal volume modes. When the mute led is on the system is muted. The mute button on the remote also toggles mute mode. Adjusting volume via the remote or the volume knob resets the TAP-X to not muted. Left Channel Volume Display: This numeric led displays the current volume of the left channel. - Page 9 TAP-X pre-amps have both these modes running through identical buffers. There is a location inside the TAP-X to allow a buffer daughter board to be added so the TAP-X would have two different buffer modes. This way if we ever run into a buffer that we really like and one that could be useful even of very good sources it can easily be added to units in the field without any re-programming needed.

Page 10: Source Select Buttons
The buttons labeled '1' through '6' on the bottom portion of the remote handset directly access each of the 6 source inputs on the TAP-X. These direct buttons (rather than next/prev) are used to make sure that macro functions programmed into a (user supplied) advanced programmable handset function repeatably. - Page 11 * THD: < 0.0008% * Step Size: 1db (Mute / -52dB to +7db) * Maximum Input Level: > 10V RMS * Standard TAP-X has 2 Channels - Right/Left * Maximum Channels: Unlimited * Inputs: 6 RCA. * Outputs: 2 RCA (100% Passive / Buffered and SUB Output)
