If your Altair II does not function correctly, refer to the Troubleshooting section at the end of this
manual. If you are still unable to resolve the problem, contact your Constellation Audio dealer.
If any liquid is spilled on the preamp, or if any metal object (such as a staple or a paper clip) is
inadvertently forced inside, immediately disconnect the AC power and contact your Constellation Audio
dealer.

Source device and amplifier connections

1. XLR inputs

On the rear of the Altair II preamp there are eight XLR inputs, four on each side. As you are looking at
the rear panel, the left four XLR inputs are for the right channel, the right four inputs are for the left
channel. Underneath each jack is the corresponding input number. Use of XLR connections is
recommended for the best possible audio quality. To remove an XLR plug, push on the tab above the
jack and pull the plug out.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To preserve true dual-mono operation, the Altair II uses a symmetrical circuit
layout. This configuration requires that the Altair II's back panel connections be laid out a little
differently from those on most preamps. For example, the left-channel connection for Input 1 is at the
far right side of the back panel, and the right-channel connection is at the far left side. Connecting the
cables in the usual side-by-side fashion will result in an incorrect installation and the mixing of sounds
from different source devices.
The input numbers from left to right, looking at the back of the Altair II are:
