Connections - Cont'd
Step 4 - Power Connection.
Once the TAP-X is in position you can connect it's power supply. The power feeding the TAP-X is not
terribly critical - the are no connections from power to the main output's passive signal path. In the case of the
full feature TAP-X the power is used for the sub out level control and buffer circuit. Once the power is inside the
TAP-X it is routed through a custom R-Core Tamura isolation/splitter transformer to derive the split rails for the
buffer circuit power supply. Power draw is low so just plug the supply into the same power conditioner you use
for your source components. If you run your system directly from the wall supply then just plug the TAP-X's
power supply into the same wall outlets or power strip used. Connect the other end of the power cable cable into
the 'PWR' jack on the back of the TAP-X. The display will light up. The following is the system configuration
of a new TAP-X on initial power up:
–
Volume is muted
–
Source 1 is selected in Normal (no buffer) mode (green led)
–
Display Mode is set to match the display toggle on the back of the unit (ON = display stays on / OFF =
display goes off after a command is finished).
–
TAPE Output is off
