Rega Osiris - Manuel (Page 11)

INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Inputs
Input 1 is a standard line level balanced input. Inputs 2,3,4 and 5 are standard
line level and can be used with any line level source.
Note: Input 1 can be used as an un-balanced input by connecting pin 1 to pin 3 and connecting the input earth (screen)
to pin 1 & 3 and connecting the signal (core) to pin 2. This will require an XLR connector.
Rear Panel Connections
Input 1 is made via XLR connection.
Inputs 2,3,4 and 5 are made via RCA (phono) connectors.
The sockets on the Rega amplifiers are clearly marked red and black.
Record Input and Output
This is a line level input and output intended for use with a recording device. Selecting the
record function via the remote handset enables the input (RECORD MONITOR is displayed).
This input is completely independent to inputs 1-5. You can monitor the record function
and quality without affecting the source being recorded. The output is a record signal and
is the same signal as selected by the main input selector 1-5 and is not affected by the
Osiris volume control.
Direct Input
This input is routed directly to the power amplifier input with no volume control. The
intended use is with multi channel systems, where the traditional two-channel system is
used as the front speakers. This input can also be used with an external pre amplifier, if
so desired, or a source component if it is fitted with it’s own volume control. The level is
220mV for maximum output.
CAUTION – As this input has no volume control, if a
source such as a CD player is connected to this input the speakers will be driven to
their maximum, this could potentially damage the speakers and amplifier.
