Operating elements

Product Overview

On- / off switch
Clip LED: Indicates overload and prompts you to lower the REC.GAIN switch (rear panel) to a lower gain level.
Input selector switch: Line IN, USB, S/PDIF.
Stereo headphones socket (1/4″ jack): If this socket is used, there is no signal at the RCA output.
Volume control.
S/PDIF In (optical): Digital input for signals at up to 96 kHz sampling rate of devices such as CD or DVD players.
S/PDIF Out (optical): The S/PDIF output supports digital surround multichannel formats such as AC3 / DTS. The volume can not be adjusted on the HAD-1 and must be controlled on the external signal source.
USB In: Connect computer for digital content playback to the USB input.
Connector for external power supply (supplied) that must provide 15 V at 400 mA (positive pole inside ).
Stereo RCA connector for analogue signal output.
Stereo RCA connector for analogue signal input.
REC.GAIN: Switch to adjust the input sensitivity to the signal source (0 dB, -6 dB, -12 dB).

Using the product

Connect an analogue signal source whose signals you want to digitize and / or listen to via headphones to the Line IN jacks (s).
Connect the S/PDIF Out socket (u) or the USB port (i) to the digital inputs of the devices to which the signals are to be applied.
Connect digital signal sources whose signals you want to convert to analogue and / or listen to via headphones, to the optical S/PDIF IN socket (y) or the USB port (i).
Connect the output sockets (a) to the analogue inputs of the devices to which the signals are to be applied.
Connect stereo headphones to the 1/4″ phone jack (r). The recommended headphone impedance is between 32 Ω and 600 Ω.
Connect the power supply cable to the 5 V 0.4 A socket (o). Plug the power adapter into a properly wired power outlet.
Use the input selector switches (e) to select the desired input.
Adjust the volume of the headphones output with the volume control (t).
Set the input sensitivity with the REC.GAIN switch (d) according to the signal strength. When the clip LED (w) lights up, set the switch to a lower level (-6 or -12).
