Nagra –
MPS
Which output to use?
Outputs 1 to 4 are all the same. They are completely isolated from one another,
so you may connect your equipment as you wish, whether it is digital or analog.
If your MPS has the internal battery option installed, we recommend using the
battery output #1 for any analog equipment particularly for phono stages such as
the VPS or the Melody with the phono option.
The 5
th
output is in parallel to output 1, so you can have a Jazz and a BPS on
battery simultaneously.
Connecting your Nagra gear to the MPS
Please note that the LEMO plug
features a red dot that must be
facing upwards for correct
insertion into the power input
connector.
The DC cables are directional.
One end is equipped with a
black ring (left plug in the
photo) which MUST be
connected to the MPS.
The other end (aluminum ring,
lower plug in the photo) must
be connected to the source
device.
When inserting the cable, you
will hear a click. This indicates
that the plug is securely
locked.
To disconnect the DC cable, hold the indicated ribbed section of the plug and pull
backwards.
Connecting a Nagra BPS
The BPS must be connected to the dc connector located below the #1 output.
Simply connect the BPS using the Nagra BPS cable.
Set the voltage selector to the 9 V position, on the left-hand side.
The connection between the BPS DC plug and the Lemo are not isolated from one
another, so it is advised to use Output 1 only for analog products rather than
digital.
The 12 V position is not use by current products, but is available for future
developments.
