DESCRIPTION/CONNECTION:
LOW LEVEL INPUTS: RCA's or 1/8" stereo input for con-
nection to Ipod or other low line level inputs.
HIGH INPUT: RCA's for connection to your CD player or
other line level inputs.
STEREO HEADPHONE OUTPUTS: 1/4" stereo and 1/8"
stereo jacks for connection to stereo headphones.
HIGH/LOW SELECTOR SWITCH: This switch selects between the HIGH INPUT or LOW INPUTS.
HEADPHONE LEVEL: This volume control is for the STEREO HEADPHONE OUTPUT LEVEL.
VDC: For connection to the included power supply. WARNING: USE ONLY THE FACTORY SUPPLIED POWER SUPPLY. USING A IMPROPERLY POLARIZED OR WRONG
VOLTAGE SUPPLY MAY DAMAGE THE HA540.
POWER: For turning the power on or off to the HA540.
pwr: When lit indicates that power is supplied to the HA540.
HIGH-LOW EXPLANATION: The LOW is a more sensitive
input to pick up the output of devices that have a lower level
like an Ipod or Zune players. These devices usually run off
an internal battery and have a lower output than traditional
line level. The HIGH level is designed to be used with CD
players, Phonograph Preamps or other equipment that has
a proper line level output. These devices tend to be higher
in level than an Ipod or other battery operated device and
would work better when using the HIGH INPUT. Again it is
best to use the HIGH or LOW input that sounds best for your
application. Let your ears be the judge not product specs.
FAQ: Your HA540 will buzz when you listen to headphones with
nothing plugged into the input selected. The unit needs something
to be plugged into the input that is selected to complete the circuit.
Without a device connected to the selected input the HA540 WILL
BUZZ AND GENERATE A VERY UNPLEASANT SOUND
THRU THE HEADPHONES. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
YOU CONNECT ALL THE INPUTS AND OUTPUT BEFORE
POWERING ON THE UNIT. AGAIN IT IS NORMAL OPERATION TO BUZZ WITHOUT AN INPUT!
