- ઇનપુટ જોડાણો:
- RCA Input (x1): Connect your single-ended audio source (e.g., DAC, CD player) to the RCA input jacks (Right/Left).
- XLR Input (x2): Connect your balanced audio sources to the XLR input jacks. The H26 provides two sets of balanced XLR inputs (XLR1 and XLR2).
- પ્રિamplifier Output Connections:
- આરસીએ પ્રિampલિફાયર આઉટપુટ: Connect to your power amplifier or active speakers using RCA cables.
- XLR પ્રિampલિફાયર આઉટપુટ: Connect to your balanced power amplifier or active speakers using XLR cables.
- પાવર કનેક્શન:
- એસી પાવર ઇનપુટ: Connect the provided power cable to the AC input.

3.3 પ્રારંભિક પાવર ચાલુ
After all connections are made and the voltage is correctly selected, press the power switch on the rear panel to turn on the H26. The front panel display will illuminate.
4. ઓપરેટિંગ સૂચનાઓ
4.1 વોલ્યુમ નિયંત્રણ
The H26 features a precise matrix relay volume control. Rotate the large knob on the front panel clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The current volume level will be displayed on the front panel.
4.2 ઇનપુટ પસંદગી
Use the input selector button (typically on the front panel, refer to the device for exact location) to cycle through the available RCA and XLR inputs. The selected input will be indicated on the display.
4.3 Headphone Output Usage
Connect your headphones to one of the three front panel jacks: 6.35mm (unbalanced), 4.4mm (balanced), or 4-pin XLR (balanced). Ensure your headphones are compatible with the selected output type. The H26 can drive a wide range of headphones.
4.4 પ્રિamplifier Functionality
The H26 can function as a dedicated preamplifier. To use it as a pure preamplifier, you can switch off the headphone amplifier power separately. Consult the front panel controls or menu options (if available) for this setting. This ensures that only the preamplifier section is active, optimizing performance for connected power ampલિફાયર અથવા સક્રિય સ્પીકર્સ.
