adcom 565 preamp question...


Well folks...picked up a used one at a fair price recently...quick question...on the pre-outs on the back...one is labeled "lab"...is this the passive connection? there is also one labled "norm" and one "direct" (which doesn't sound as good)...thanks...

There are one pair of "bypass" outputs--Direct coupled, and no tone controls. There are two pair of "Main" outputs--Lab and Normal. The Lab outputs are direct coupled, but the tone and high filter can be switched in if desired. The normal outputs are capacitor coupled and the tone and high filters can be switched in if desired.

If you choose to use the tone controls, the preamp will also invert polarity on the "Main" outputs.
