2 – Output Connector Wiring 

 

The Universal Tube Output Stage can be connected either for stereo single ended
connections or with two modules for stereo balanced connections.

 

2.1 – Stereo Single Ended Connection

 

Shown below are the connections that need to be made from the RCA sockets to the Universal Tube Output Stage for a stereo single ended arrangement.
Depending on the RCA connectors used you may have to solder the wires to the RCA Sockets.

 

It is important that the RCA sockets are mounted such the sockets metal shell does not make contact with the Chassis.

 

2.2 – Stereo Balanced Connection

 

Shown below are the connections that need to be made from the XLR and (optionally) RCA sockets to the Universal Tube Output Stage for a stereo balanced arrangement.
Depending on the XLR & RCA connectors used you may have to solder the wires to the XLR and RCA sockets.

 

It is important that the RCA sockets are mounted such the sockets metal shell does not make contact with the Chassis.

 

The metal shell of XLR connectors is designed to contact the chassis for shielding and hence it can and should make contact with the chassis.
