INTERCONNECT CABLES The interconnect cables from the output jacks of the SLP-308 to the input jacks on the power amplifier can be any convenient length your set up requires. The choice of a high quality interconnect cable is important. Your Authorized Cary Audio Design Dealer will have proper interconnect cables in stock for this purpose. The low output impedance of the SLP-308 will run long interconnect wire runs, as long as 30-40 ft., without a problem. We suggest wires with good shielding if

SELECTOR SWITCH The 4-position rotary switch connects a choice of input program source, both channels simultaneously. All program line sources are selected from this front panel 4 position switch. As you switch from source to source inputs, you will hear a soft mechanical clicking sound. This is normal and proper. The clicking sound is from the double pole, double throw (DPDT) gold plated relays switching input positions. WARNING!!! MAKE NO ATTEMPT TO PUT THE SLP-308 INTO SERVICE WITH THE TOP OF

SPECIAL NOTE: Your new SLP-308 preamplifier is a polarity inverting design. This means that a positive direction musical signal coming into the SLP-308 will be polarity inverted as it is amplified and be sent to the power amplifier as a negative direction signal. The SLP-308 has one gain stage and one buffer stage in each channel. Absolute polarity inversion is common on many high-end preamplifiers. If you are concerned about ‘Absolute Phase’ in your system, reverse the positive and negative lea
