Connections

Use this XLR balanced input for connection to balanced-

output preamps of other brands. To select this input, set

the input switch to BAL (left position). To remove the XLR

plug, push on the tab above the jack and pull the plug out.

Use this XLR balanced input only for connection to the

Constellation Audio Virgo or Altair preamp. This connection

forms the Constellation Direct—an audio interface that is,

in essence, perfectly balanced. The positive- and negative-

going halves of the signal will exhibit near-zero difference

except for their polarity. To select this input, set the input

switch to Direct (middle position). To remove the XLR plug,

push on the tab above the jack and pull the plug out.

This input is provided as a convenience. You can use it if

you elect to feed the amplifier with an unbalanced signal

source. To select this input, set the input switch to RCA.

However, to get the best performance from the Hercules II

you must use an XLR input.
