Thank you for purchasing the PREAMPLIFIER CP.

This preamplier is a precision device, designed in an eort to

2INTRODUCTION

INITIAL SETUP

Note: Many ampliers produce a local magnetic eld that can be picked up by the
sensitive circuitry of a preamplier. Try to provide at least a foot of space between
your amplier and your CP preamp.

The diagram below illustrates the rear connections of the CP.

USE ONLY WITH 25V FUSE

A B C D

A: The AC receptacle accepts any standard three-prong IEC line cord. Power input
can be adjusted for any country, but is set internally at the factory. Contact Coda or
your local Coda dealer if the voltage must be changed. Fuse specications are
listed below the receptacle, and the fuse can be changed by unplugging the line
cord, pulling out the fuse drawer and clipping in a new fuse.

B: Signal output is through two balanced XLR connectors and four unbalanced RCA
connectors. The XLR pinout is identical to the input receptacles.

C: The Processor loop connectors permit the connection of an external audio
device such as a surround sound processor or equalizer. Connect the output jacks to
the input of the processor, and the output of the processor to the processor input
jacks of the preamplier.

D: Signal input is through two balanced XLR connectors and eight unbalanced RCA
connectors. The XLR receptacle has ground on pin 1, positive on pin 2 and negative
on pin 3.
