Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-output line-level
sources to verify that the pin assignments of their output connec-
tors correspond to the Nº32. If not, wire the cables so that the ap-
propriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.
To achieve the best possible results, we suggest using high quality
interconnecting cables such as Madrigal’s own CZ Gel-1 balanced
cables.
3 Single-ended Inputs 4-8
Accepts right-channel and left-channel (single-ended) inputs
from line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD players, and
tape decks.
To achieve the best possible results, we suggest using high quality
interconnecting cables such as Madrigal’s own CZ Gel-2 single-
ended cables.
4 Balanced Main Outputs
If your power amplifier is equipped with balanced (sometimes
called “differential”) inputs, it is generally best to use the balanced
outputs on your Nº32. A balanced signal from preamplifier to
power amplifier will offer the highest possible performance with
the best immunity from common-mode noise, such as radio fre-
quency interference (RFI). The balanced output signal is made
available by way of precision male XLR connectors (requiring fe-
male XLRs on the preamplifier end of the interconnecting cable).
The pin assignments of these XLR-type male outputs are:
