Wiring the Inputs
Connecting the Alchemy DPA-2 to a Pre-Amplifier
There are two different methods for connecting the amplifier to a pre-amp. Both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced
(RCA) inputs are supported.
If you are connecting one DPA-2 for stereo operation carefully note which is the left input and which is the right
so that you connect these cables to the correct outputs on your preamplifier.
For operation as a mono amplifier you can connect to either the left or right inputs – they become connected
together internally when the amplifier is switched to mono mode and will work the same regardless of which
one you use. What is important then is to be sure you have the left amplifier connected to the left output of your
preamplifier and the right amplifier connected to the right output of the preamplifier.
Typically a balanced (XLR) connection will be more immune to hum, especially with longer cables, so it would be
the preferred connection.
Whichever connection you choose, please use high quality cables for the best results.
