Connecting the system

Please connect the power jack (1) at the rear with your wall outlet (Please
refer to page 8). Use the provided power cable or another one allowed for
your home country specifications.

NOTE:
The power specifications (2) on the rear must meet to your home
country specifications.

The mains-button (3) at rear must be switched off. The PRE 1 G2 is
a Class I system and must be earthed. Please ensure that the earth­connection is in best condition. For best performance connect the hot
wire seeing from the front with the left pin.

With the PRE 1 G2 comes a yellow-green ground cord for optimal
ground connection. Please connect this additional ground cord to the plug
(10) at the back of the PRE 1 G2 and put the plug into a socket near to
the power cord.

The Audionet PRE 1 G2 is a very sensitive system. Please ensure that all
used connector cables are in absolutely best condition.

For connecting or removing audio sources, PRE 1 G2 has to be switched
off (stand by-state) or must be muted.

The Audionet PRE 1 G2 has one balanced and five unbalanced high level
RCA inputs (4). Additionally, a true monitor loop is available. Please con­nect left and right inputs to the corresponding outputs of the designated
high-level source.

The Audionet PRE 1 G2 has one unbalanced output (5) and one balanced
output for connecting power-amplifiers.

Please connect left and right outputs to the corresponding inputs of your
power amplifier.

Two recording systems can be connected at the same time to PRE 1 G2
for recording and playing back simultaneously.

For recording please connect the inputs of your recording system, like
DAT or tape deck with the rec output (6) of your PRE 1 G2. Every time
when the recorder is connected to the rec outputs, please use the inputs
No.5 named "Tape" for playing back.

When input No.5 is selected, the corresponding rec output will be muted.
This is necessary to prevent destructive oscillation of the pre amplifier and
the recorder. Therefore every signal source that should be recorded has to
be connected to the remaining inputs.

Your PRE 1 G2 is fitted with a monitor loop. This enables you to listen to
the recorder without interrupting the signal source being recorded. To use
this feature please connect the inputs and outputs of the recorder with the
corresponding monitor output and input (7) of your PRE 1 G2.

Your PRE 1 G2 can be equipped with an optional phono preamplifier. For
connecting a record player please use the input 6 and the corresponding
ground connector in this case.

In combination with the Audionet AMP I/AMP II and/or DAC the PRE 1
G2 can switch on and off the whole system. Please connect the Audionet
link (8) on the rear with a Toslink optical fibre cable to the Audionet link
of AMP I and/or DAC.
