Parts and Functions

POWER – Power switch

Depress this switch to activate the ampliﬁ er. Push once more to release

the switch and turn the ampliﬁ er off. For an interval of about 5 seconds after power is turned on, there will be no sound from the speakers, due

to the action of the muting circuit.

● After turning the power off, do not set the power switch immediately to ON again (within 10 seconds).

SPEAKER – Speaker selector

Serves to select two pairs of speakers connected to the “A” and “B”

speaker terminals.

OFF

Both speaker pairs are turned off, for example for headphone listening.

A, B

The respective speaker pair is active.

A + B

Both pairs of speakers are driven simultaneously. In this case, use speakers with a rated impedance of 4 ohms or more, as both sets are connected in parallel. This position is also used for biwiring a single set of loudspeakers (using separate cables for the low frequency range and mid/high frequency range).

COPY – Copy selector

When two recorders are connected to the E-350, dubbing can be carried

out in either direction by using this selector.

1  2, 2  1

To use the recorder connected to the RECORDER 1 jacks on the rear panel as source and the recorder connected to the RECORDER 2 jacks as recorder, set the selector to “1  2”. For dubbing in the opposite direction, use the “2  1” position.

OFF

Set the selector to this position when dubbing is not desired.

RECORDER – Recorder selector

REC OFF

Select this position in normal operation (when not recording). The ampliﬁ er reproduces the selected program source, but the signal does not appear at the REC outputs.

– “REC ON” LED lit

SOURCE

Select this position when wishing to record. The ampliﬁ er reproduces the selected program source, and the signal appears at the REC outputs.

– “RECORDER” and “REC ON” LEDs lit

1, 2

Select this to reproduce the signal from a recorder. Select the position depending on the rear-panel “PLAY” input (RECORDER 1 or RECORDER 2) that is used.

MC/MM – MC/MM selector button

This function is only available when the Analog Disc Input Board AD-20 is installed.

This selector button determines the phono stage gain for playback of analog discs (phono records) with the AD-20.

● Button pressed (MC): “MC” LED is lit

● Button pressed once more (MM): “MC” LED is out

This position should be used for moving-coil (MC) cartridges with low output. Set the input impedance with the DIP switches on the board.

This position should be used for moving-magnet (MM) cartridges. The input impedance is 47 kilohms.

Note:

● MC/MM switching becomes available when the INPUT SELECTOR set to the position for an option board slot where the AD-20 is installed.

● For MC/MM switching, the setting of the MC/MM selector The AD-20 has DIP switch settings for MC/MM selection, but the board settings are overridden by the selector of the E-350.

The MC LOAD and FILTER settings are made only on the AD-20 board.

● There are no provisions for setting these items at the E-350.

● The Analog Disc Input Board AD-9 or AD-10 can also be used, but in this case, MC/MM selection can only be made on the board. The setting of the MC/MM selector of the E-350 has no effect.

EXT PRE – Preampliﬁ er/power ampliﬁ er separator button

This button permits using the preampliﬁ er section and the power ampliﬁ er

section of the E-350 separately.

has priority.

● Button pressed (ON): “EXT PRE” LED is lit

Normal operation, preampliﬁ er and power ampliﬁ er not separated.

Note:

Do not operate the switch during playback. Always turn the volume fully down before setting the switch to ON or OFF.

MONO – Mono/stereo mode selector button

This switch selects stereo or mono operation. When the switch is pressed,

both channels are combined and the same signal is fed to the left and right speakers. If the listening position is at approximately equal distance

from the speakers, the sound image should be centered.

● Button pressed (monophonic operation): “MONO” LED is lit Button pressed once more (stereo operation): “MONO” LED is out

●

Note:

When the RECORDER selector setting is changed to “SOURCE”, the monophonic setting will automatically be canceled. To record in monophonic mode, press the MONO button again after using the RECORDER selector.

METER – Meter display on/off button

● Button pressed (OFF): Meter lights are out and meters do not operate.

● Button pressed once more (ON): Meter lights are on and meters operate.

COMP – Loudness compensator button

This button serves to restore natural tonal balance at low listening levels.

The human ear becomes less sensitive for the frequency extremes as loudness decreases. This often causes the sound to be perceived as thin or deﬁ cient, especially in the bass range. The COMP button makes up for this effect by boosting the lower range (+6 dB at 100 Hz).

● Button pressed (ON): “COMP” LED is lit

● Button pressed once more (OFF): “COMP” LED is out

TONE (BASS, TREBLE) – Tone controls

TONE – Tone control on/off button

● Button pressed (ON): “TONE” LED is lit

● Button pressed once more (OFF): “TONE” LED is out

✽ When the button is set to ON, the BASS and TREBLE controls can be

used.

✽ When the button is set to OFF, the entire tone control circuitry is by-

passed.

– Bass control

BASS

Turning this control to the right from the center (0) position boosts the lower frequency range and turning the control to the left attenuates it.

● Turnover frequency: 300 Hz

● Adjustment range: ±10 dB at 50 Hz

TREBLE

Turning this control to the right from the center (0) position boosts the upper frequency range and turning the control to the left attenuates it.

● Turnover frequency: 3 kHz

● Adjustment range: ±10 dB at 20 kHz

BALANCE – Balance control

This control serves to adjust the left/right stereo balance.

● Normally, the control should be left in the center (0) position.

ATTENUATOR – Attenuator button

Pressing the ATTENUATOR button will quickly reduce the volume level

of the ampliﬁ er to one-tenth (-20 dB attenuation).

● Button pressed (ON): “ATTENUATOR” LED is lit

● Button pressed once more (OFF): “ATTENUATOR” LED is out

ENGLISH

PHONES – Headphone jack

Stereo headphones can be plugged into this jack.

✽ When wishing to listen with headphones only, set the SPEAKERS selector to

ENGLISH

OFF.

✽ Adjust the listening level with the main volume control. ✽ Use headphones with an impedance between 8 and 100 ohms.

Note:

When the preampliﬁ er and power ampliﬁ er sections have been separated by setting the EXT PRE button to ON, this headphone jack carries the same signal as the power ampliﬁ er section of the E-350. The volume therefore must be adjusted at the external preampliﬁ er.

INPUT SELECTOR – Input selector

Serves to select the various program sources connected to the rear

panel inputs. The corresponding buttons on the remote commander RC-200 can also be used.

TUNER, CD, LINE 1, 2

Selects components connected to the conventional unbalanced inputs (for unbalanced audio cable with plugs) on the rear panel.

CD-BAL, LINE-BAL

Selects components connected to the balanced inputs (for balanced audio cable) on the rear panel.

OPTION 1, 2

Select components connected to option boards installed in the OPTION 1 and OPTION 2 slots on the rear panel.

● For information on option boards, see “Option boards”. ✽ The INPUT SELECTOR has no marking or end stopper (it can be turned

continuously).

Peak power meters

The meter scale indicates the output level in dB (decibel) and is also

calibrated in watts for an 8-ohm load. With a 4-ohm load, the ﬁ gures must be doubled, and with a 16-ohm load halved. Output levels with a

sine-wave signal for various loads are shown below.

Output indication (dB/%)

0 dB: 100 % 200 W 100 W 50 W –10 dB: 10 % 20 W 10 W 5 W –20 dB: 1 % 2 W 1 W 500 mW –30 dB: 0.1 % 200 mW 100 mW 50 mW –40 dB: 0.01 % 20 mW 10 mW 5 mW

The meters are peak-reading designs, which enables them to precisely follow the rapid changes in amplitude and frequency that are common with music signals. To make for easier reading, the decay time of the meters is set to a lower value than the rise time. If the program source contains noise or a large amount of transients, the meter indication and the aural volume impression may differ slightly.

Remote sensor

The infrared signals from the supplied remote commander RC-200 are

received by this sensor. When using the remote commander, point the transmitter in the direction of this sensor.

The E-350 incorporates an innovative volume control called AAVA-II (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Ampliﬁ er-II). The operation principle of this control is totally different from conventional controls using resistors. With AAVA-II, the music signal is weighted in 16 stages, and a current switching circuit serves to select the signal, thereby changing the volume. In actual operation, a conventional rotary VR is used. When the knob is turned, its position is detected by the adjustment circuit, and 16 current switches are set to ON or OFF accordingly.

Note:

When high-efﬁ ciency loudspeakers are used, a sound caused by the current switch operation may be heard when turning the VOLUME knob. This is not a defect.

INPUTS: TUNER, CD, LINE 1, LINE 2 – Line-level inputs

These inputs are conventional unbalanced line input jacks.

CD/LINE INPUTS (BALANCED) – Balanced inputs

These are inputs for a balanced connection which eliminates externally

induced noise. The inputs accept the signal of any component with balanced outputs, such as a CD player or tuner.

A: Ground B: Inverted (–) C: Non-inverted (+)

● Balanced audio cables are available from Accuphase.

RECORDER 1, 2 – Recorder input/output jacks

These jacks serve for connection of two recorders.

PLAY jacks Ù LINE OUT jacks of recorder REC jacks Ù LINE IN jacks of recorder

✽ The output signal at the REC jacks is not affected by the volume and tone

controls, or compensator settings of the ampliﬁ er.

✽ Keep in mind that when the MODE switch is set to “MONO”, the recording

output will be monophonic.

PRE OUT/POWER IN (EXT PRE IN) jacks

PRE OUT

These jacks permit using the preampliﬁ er section separately.

● The signal at these jacks is always output, regardless of the setting of the EXT PRE button.

● The outputs can be used to connect a second power ampliﬁ er for biamping.

Bi-amping refers to using separate power ampliﬁ ers for the low frequency range

✽

and mid/high frequency range.

POWER IN (EXT PRE IN)

These jacks permit using the power ampliﬁ er section separately.

● When the EXT PRE button has been set to “ON” for separating the preampliﬁ er and power ampliﬁ er of the E-350, these jacks serve as power ampliﬁ er input jacks. Input source switching, volume adjustment, and other preampliﬁ er functions must be performed at the external equipment.

SPEAKERS terminals (A, B)

Two pairs of speakers can be connected to the terminals A and B.

✽ Use speakers with a rated impedance of 4 to 16 ohms. ✽ When driving two pairs of speakers simultaneously, use speakers with a rated

impedance of 8 to 16 ohms.

✽ For a biwiring arrangement, connect the cables for the low frequency range

and mid/high frequency range separately to terminals A and B.

AC Inlet

Insert the supplied power cord into this connector and plug the other

end into an AC outlet.

RWARNING

● Do not use the unit with any other than the supplied power cord.

● The shape of the AC inlet and the plug of the supplied power cord depend

on the destination country of the unit. Using any other type of cable except the supplied power cord poses the risk of ﬁ re and damage.

● This product is available in versions for 120/230 V AC. Make sure that the voltage shown on the rear panel matches the AC line voltage in your area.

Operation

● Opening the unit involves a severe risk of electric shock.

● If the unit does not operate, the internal fuse may have blown. Never

attempt to replace the fuse yourself. Be sure to contact your Accuphase dealer or an authorized service station.

R CAUTION

● Before making connections, be sure to switch the power to the E-350 and all other components off. Especially when plugging or unplugging a cable in the POWER IN jacks, the power to the E-350 must be off.

● Do not operate the EXT PRE button during playback. Always turn the volume fully down before setting the switch to ON or OFF.

Before starting to use the unit, set the controls as follows.

● VOLUME: Turned fully down (counterclockwise)

● SPEAKER: Set to the position for the desired speaker pair

● RECORDER: REC OFF (LED out)

● COPY: OFF

● MC/MM, MONO, COMP, EXT PRE, ATTENUATOR: OFF (LEDs out)

● BALANCE: Center position

Listening to a CD player (via analog input)

Connect the analog output of the CD player to the CD (or TUNER or LINE) input jacks on the rear panel. If the CD player has balanced outputs, it is recommended to use balanced cables and connect them to the balanced CD/LINE INPUTS connectors.

For playback, perform the following steps.

A Conﬁ rm that the VOLUME control is turned to minimum. Then switch on the

CD player and the ampliﬁ er.

B Use the INPUT SELECTOR to select the “CD” position. C Operate the CD player and adjust the desired listening level with the VOLUME

control.

D If desired, set the MONO button to ON (monophonic operation) and check that

the sound is centered between the two speakers, and check the action of the tone controls, loudness compensator, and attenuator.

ENGLISH

Listening to radio broadcasts

Connect the output of the tuner to the TUNER (or CD or LINE) input jacks on the rear panel. If the tuner has balanced outputs, it is recommended to use balanced cables and connect them to the balanced LINE INPUTS.

Set the INPUT SELECTOR to the required position and perform the same steps as described for CD playback. After tuning to the desired station, adjust the listening level with the VOLUME control.

Recording and playback with a recorder

Conﬁ rm that the inputs and outputs of the recorder are properly connected to the RECORDER 1 or RECORDER 2 jacks on the rear panel of the E-350.

REC jacks Ù LINE IN jacks of recorder PLAY jacks Ù LINE OUT jacks of recorder

Playback

Set the RECORDER selector to “1” (or “2”) and set the recorder to the playback mode. The sound will be heard via the E-350.

✽ For playback only, a recorder may also be connected to any other line input of

the E-350.

Recording

For recording, perform the following steps.

A Select the desired program source with the INPUT SELECTOR and check that

it is reproduced properly over the loudspeakers.

B Set the RECORDER selector to “SOURCE”. The signal of the selected program

source is now supplied at the recording outputs of the ampliﬁ er.

C Star t the recorder. The sound heard over the loudspeakers is now recorded

on the recorder.

D The volume, attenuator and tone controls, or compensator settings of the

ampliﬁ er do not affect the recording output. The volume can therefore be turned all the way down if desired. The recording level must be adjusted with the input controls of the recorder.

E By setting the RECORDER selector to “1” (or “2”), you can monitor the recorded

sound (when using a recorder with three heads).

F Since the same signal is being output at the RECORDER 1 and RECORDER

2 jacks, recording can also be carried out on two recorders simultaneously.

Note:

Dubbing

Because the E-350 provides a COPY selector, dubbing between two recorders can be carried out, regardless of which program source is being reproduced. However, dubbing is not possible while the E-350 is turned off.

For dubbing, perform the following steps.

A For dubbing from RECORDER 1 to RECORDER 2, set the COPY selector to

“1  2”. For dubbing in the opposite direction, use the “2  1” position.

B Set the source recorder to the playback mode and the target recorder to the

recording mode.

C If dubbing is carried out in the “1  2” direction, setting the RECORDER selector

to “RECORDER 1” causes the playback sound of the source recorder to be reproduced. Setting the selector to “RECORDER 2” permits monitoring of the recorded sound. During dubbing in the “2  1” direction, the reverse applies.

Tuner recording while power is off

While power to the ampliﬁ er is off, the signal from the TUNER inputs is always connected to the RECORDER REC outputs, regardless of the INPUT SELECTOR and the RECORDER and COPY selector settings. Therefore it is possible to carry out unattended recording of the source connected to the tuner inputs with a timer even without turning on the ampliﬁ er.

Note:

Do not turn power to the E-350 on while unattended recording (with the E-350 in the power off condition) is in progress. If the input position of the E-350 has not been set to TUNER beforehand, recording will be interrupted at the point where you turn the power on. Always verify ﬁ rst that any unattended recording has been completed.

Playback with DG-38/DG-48 connected

The Digital Voicing Equalizer DG-38 or DG-48 can be connected to the E-350, allowing highly precise sound ﬁ eld compensation during playback of program sources.

ENGLISH

● For details on connection and operation of the DG-38/DG-48, please refer to instruction manual of the respective component.

Memo

Both connection examples below show the connection to the DG-38. When using the DG-48, option boards are not required, because the DG-48 incorporates line inputs and outputs as standard equipment.

Connection example 1

The DG-38/DG-48 is connected between the preampliﬁ er and power ampliﬁ er sections of the E-350, with the EXT PRE button set to ON to separate the preampliﬁ er and power ampliﬁ er sections.

Option Boards

ENGLISH

Three types of option boards can be used in the E-350: the Digital Input Board DAC-20, Analog Disc Input Board AD-20, and Line Input Board LINE-10. These boards can be installed in the two rear-panel slots (OPTION 1 or 2), as required.

● Always turn the power of the E-350 off before inserting or removing any option board.

● Any board can be installed in any of the two slots.

● The Analog Disc Input Board AD-9/AD-10 and the Line Input Board LINE-9 can also be used.

Using Option Boards

Playback of CD or similar with digital input

Install the Digital Input Board DAC-20.

✽ The board can handle digital output signals from a CD player, MD recorder

or other digital component with a sampling frequency of up to 96 kHz. The connection can be made with coaxial or optical ﬁ ber cable.

Connection cables

COAXIAL: Use a digital coaxial cable with RCA plugs. OPTICAL: This is a connector for JEITA standard optical ﬁ ber cable.

[When using the AD-10: The setting content is the same, but because the number and position of DIP switches and the setting procedure are different, be sure to consult the AD-10 documentation.]

Note:

Always turn the power of the E-350 off before inserting or removing any option board.

Before inserting the board, the DIP switches (S1 - S3) on the board must be set to the required positions.

Note: Use a sharp pointed object to move the switch levers and make sure

that the levers are set fully to one side. If a lever is set only half-way, correct operation will be not be achieved.

A S1: MC LOAD

MC input impedance selector: 10/30/100 ohms

B S2, S3: FILTER

Subsonic ﬁ lter on/off

C S4: MC/MM selection

Memo

In the E-350, the MC/MM button on the front panel has priority. Therefore there is no need to set the S4 switch on the board.

Playback

A Verify that the VOLUME control is turned fully down and then turn on the

E-350 and the other components. Set the INPUT SELECTOR to the position for the option board slot in which the DAC-20 is installed (OPTION 1 or 2).

B Set the source component to the play condition and adjust the volume to a

suitable level.

Note:

● Do not connect both the COAXIAL output and the analog outputs (balanced/ unbalanced) of a component to the E-350 at the same time. Otherwise ground loops may occur which can cause noise.

● When equipment is connected to both the COAXIAL and the OPTICAL input (of the DAC-20), only one of the signals will be selected. To control the selection, disconnect the cable for the component that is currently not playing, or turn power of that component off.

S1: MC LOAD – MC input impedance selector (Set on board)

Factory default setting

S2, S3: FILTER – Subsonic ﬁ lter on/off (Set on board)

Factory default setting

S4: MC/MM – Equalizer gain selection (Setting of MC/MM button 5 on panel has priority)

Factory default setting

As a general guideline, set this switch according to the rated internal impedance of the MC cartridge.

20 ohms or more: 100 ohm position Less than 20 ohms: 30 ohm or 10 ohm position

● Generally, the input impedance setting should be about 2 to 3 times the rated cartridge impedance. However, since the requirements of some car tridges may vary, the ﬁ nal setting should be determined by ear.

● This switch affects both the left and right channels.

This ﬁ lter has a cut-off frequency of 25 Hz and a steep attenuation slope of –12 dB/octave. It cuts off unwanted subsonic signal components without affecting the audible range. Removing subsonic noise components is useful for example to stop excessive woofer excursions caused by record warps or turntable rumble, etc.

● Be sure to set both switches to the same position.

MM: For moving magnet cartridges with high

output

Gain: 36 dB

Input impedance: 47 kilohms

AD-20 component side (location of switches S1 - S4)

MC: For moving coil cartridges with low output

Gain: 62 dB

Input impedance: As selected with S1

● This switch affects both the left and right channels.

Memo

When installed in the E-350, the DIP switch S4 on the AD-20 board need not be set.

Connection

Connect the output cable from the analog record player correctly to the input jacks on the board. Also connect the ground cable from the analog record player to the ground (GND) terminal on the board.

Playback

A Verify that the VOLUME control is turned fully down and then turn on the

E-350 and the other components. Set the INPUT SELECTOR to the position for the option board slot in which the AD-20 is installed (OPTION 1 or 2).

B Lower the stylus onto the record and adjust the volume to a suitable level. C If the record is notably warped or if there are excessive woofer excursions

caused by turntable rumble, enabling the subsonic ﬁ lter can help to reduce noise.

COMP – Touche de compensation physiologique

Cette touche sert à restaurer l’équilibre de tonalité naturelle à des niveaux

d’écoute faibles. L’oreille humaine devient moins sensible aux fréquences extrêmes car la compensation physiologique diminue. Cela crée souvent une perception du son comme faible ou déﬁ cient, en particulier dans la gamme des basses fréquences. La touche COMP compense cet effet en accentuant la gamme inférieure (+6 dB à 100 Hz).

PHONES – Prise casque

Un casque stéréo peut être branché à cette prise.

✽ Lorsqu’on veut utiliser seulement le casque, placer le commutateur SPEAKERS

en position OFF.

✽ Régler le niveau d’écoute à l’aide de la commande de volume global. ✽ Utiliser un casque d’une impédance comprise entre 8 et 100 ohms.

Remarque :

Si les sections préamplificateur et amplificateur de puissance ont été séparées par le réglage de la touche EXT PRE en position ON, la prise casque de l’appareil transportera le signal de la section de l’ampliﬁ cateur de puissance du E-350. Le volume devra par conséquent être ajusté au niveau du préampliﬁ cateur externe.

INPUT SELECTOR – Sélecteur d’entrée

Sert à sélectionner les différentes sources de programme connectées

aux entrées du panneau arrière. Les touches correspondantes de la

FRANÇAIS

télécommande RC-200 peuvent également être utilisées.

TUNER, CD, LINE 1, 2

Sert à sélectionner les différents composants connectés aux entrées dissymétriques classiques (avec câble audio à ﬁ ches dissymétriques) du panneau arrière.

CD-BAL, LINE-BAL

Sert à sélectionner les différents composants connectés aux entrées symétriques (avec câble audio à ﬁ ches symétriques) du panneau arrière.

OPTION 1, 2

Sélectionner les composants connectés aux cartes optionnelles installées dans les fentes OPTION 1 et OPTION 2 du panneau arrière.

● Pour des informations sur les cartes optionnelles, voir “Cartes optionnelles”. ✽ Le sélecteur INPUT SELECTOR n’a pas de cran d’arrêt ou de butée (il peut

être tourné en continu).

Crête-mètre

L’échelle du crête-mètre indique le niveau de sortie en dB (décibels) et

est également calibrée en watts sous une charge de 8 ohms. Sous une

charge de 4 ohms, les chiffres doivent être doublés, et sous une charge de 16 ohms, ils doivent être réduits de moitié. Les niveaux de sor tie avec un signal d’onde sinusoïdale pour les différentes charges sont indiqués ci-dessous.

Indication de sortie (dB/%)

0 dB: 100 % 200 W 100 W 50 W –10 dB : 10 % 20 W 10 W 5 W –20 dB : 1 % 2 W 1 W 500 mW –30 dB : 0,1 % 200 mW 100 mW 50 mW –40 dB : 0,01 % 20 mW 10 mW 5 mW

Les crête-mètres sont des conceptions à lecture de crête, qui permettent de suivre avec précision les variation rapides d’amplitude et de fréquence des signaux musicaux. Aﬁ n de faciliter la lecture, le temps de retard des crête-mètres est réglé à une valeur inférieure au temps de montée. Si la source de programme contient du bruit ou une grande quantité de transitoires, l’indication du crête-mètre et l’impression de volume auditif pourraient être légèrement différentes.

Détecteur de télécommande

Les signaux infrarouges de la télécommande RC-200 fournie sont

reçus par ce détecteur. Lors de l’utilisation de la télécommande, pointer

l’émetteur dans la direction de ce détecteur.

Le E-350 est équipé d’une commande de volume innovatrice appelée AAVA-II (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Ampliﬁ er-II) (ampliﬁ cateur de gain varianalogique Accuphase). Le principe de fonctionnement de cette commande est totalement différent de celui des commandes conventionnelles utilisant des résistances. Avec le AAVA-II, le signal musical est pondéré en 16 étapes, et un circuit de commutation de courant sert à sélectionner le signal, modiﬁ ant ainsi le volume. En fonctionnement effectif, un VR rotatif conventionnel est utilisé. Lorsque la commande de de réglage, et les 16 commutateurs de courant sont réglés sur ON ou OFF.

Remarque :

Lorsque des enceintes à haut rendement sont utilisées, un son émis par le fonctionnement du commutateur de courant pourra être entendu lorsque la commande de VOLUME est tournée. Ceci ne signiﬁ e pas une défaillance.

INPUTS : TUNER, CD, LINE 1, LINE 2 – Entrées de niveau

de ligne

Ces entrées sont des prises d’entrée de ligne asymétriques conventionnelles.

CD/LINE INPUTS (BALANCED) – Entrées symétriques

Ce sont des entrées pour une connexion symétrique qui élimine le

bruit externe induit. Les entrées acceptent le signal de n’importe quel composant équipé de sorties symétriques, tel qu’un lecteur de CD ou un tuner.

A : Masse B : Inversé (–) C : Non-inversé (+)

● Des câbles audio symétriques sont disponibles auprès de Accuphase.

RECORDER 1, 2 – Prises d’entrée/sortie de l’enregistreur

Ces prises servent à la connexion de deux enregistreurs.

Prises PLAY Ù Prises LINE OUT de l’enregistreur Prises REC Ù Prises LINE IN de l’enregistreur

✽ Le signal de sortie aux prises REC n’est pas affecté par les commandes de

volume, de commande de tonalité, et les paramètres du compensateur de l’ampliﬁ cateur.

✽ Garder à l’esprit que, lorsque le commutateur MODE est placé en position

“MONO”, la sortie d’enregistrement sera monophonique.

Prises PRE OUT/POWER IN (EXT PRE IN)

PRE OUT

Ces prises permettent d’utiliser séparément la section préampliﬁ cateur.

● Le signal sur ces prises est toujours émis, indépendamment du réglage de la touche EXT PRE.

● Les sorties peuvent être utilisées pour connecter un second ampliﬁ cateur de puissance pour la bi-ampliﬁ cation.

La bi-amplification utilise des amplificateurs de puissance séparés pour la gamme

✽

basses fréquences et pour la gamme moyennes/hautes fréquences.

POWER IN (EXT PRE IN)

Ces prises permettent d’utiliser séparément la section de l’ampliﬁ cateur de puissance.

● Lorsque la touche EXT PRE a été réglée sur “ON” pour la séparation du préampliﬁ cateur et de l’ampliﬁ cateur de puissance du E-350, ces prises servent de prises d’entrée d’ampliﬁ cateur. La commutation de la source d’entrée, le réglage de volume et les autres fonctions du préampliﬁ cateur doivent être effectués sur l’équipement externe.

Bornes SPEAKERS (A, B)

Deux paires d’enceintes peuvent être connectées aux bornes A et B.

✽ Utiliser des enceintes ayant une impédance nominale de 4 à 16 ohms. ✽ Si deux paires d’enceintes sont entraînées simultanément, utiliser des

enceintes ayant une impédance nominale de 8 à 16 ohms.

✽ Pour une disposition bi-câblée, connecter les bornes d’entrée A et B

séparément aux câbles pour les gammes de fréquences basses et pour les fréquences moyennes/hautes.
