Detachable Power Cord Socket 

- Plug the Detachable

Power Cord into this socket (see Figure 1). The SFD-2 MKII is
factory set for the correct operating voltage for the area in
which it is sold (see shipping box for voltage setting). If a differ-
ent operating voltage is required, please contact an authorized
Sonic Frontiers dealer, distributor or the factory directly.

H -

Digital Out 

- This output jack provides a digital signal for

dubbing purposes with a Digital Audio Tape (DAT) or
Compact Disc recorder (CD-R). 

I -

H-P/ST (Glass Fibre) Optical Input 

- This input will

accept a digital connection from a digital source’s Glass Fibre
Optical digital output. This connection type is considered best for
optimum performance and sound quality; if your source unit has
this type of digital output, we recommend its use.

J -

Toslink (Plastic Fibre) Optical Input 

- This input will

accept a digital connection from a digital source’s Toslink
(Plastic Fibre) Optical digital output.

K -

Coaxial BNC Cable Input 

- This input will accept a digital

connection from a digital source’s BNC - Coaxial digital out-
put. The BNC - Coaxial cable impedance should be 75 ohms.

L -

Coaxial RCA Cable Input 

- This input will accept a digital

connection from a digital source’s RCA - S/PDIF - Coaxial digi-
tal output. The RCA - S/PDIF - Coaxial cable impedance
should be 75 ohms.

M-

AES/EBU XLR Input 

- This input will accept a digital signal

from a digital source’s AES/EBU XLR digital output. A 110
ohm balanced cable terminated with XLR plugs should be used
for this connection. 
NOTE: The XLR jack pin connectors for the SFD-2 MKII are
configured as follows:

Pin #1 : Ground 
Pin #2 : Positive (+) Phase 
Pin #3 : Negative (–) Phase

N-

Left and Right Channel Balanced XLR Audio
Output Connectors 

- These are balanced audio outputs

and should be used when connecting the SFD-2 MKII to the 
balanced audio inputs of a line level preamplifier, control
amplifier, integrated amplifier or receiver, if these units are so
equipped (see Figure 4). (Left channel output of the SFD-2 MKII
connects to the left channel input of control unit and right 
channel output of the SFD-2 MKII to the right channel input of
control unit.) 
NOTE: The XLR jack pin connectors for the SFD-2 MKII are
configured as follows:

Pin #1 : Ground 
Pin #2 : Positive (+) Phase 
Pin #3 : Negative (–) Phase

O-

Left and Right Channel RCA Single-Ended Audio
Output Connectors 

- If the balanced inputs are not applica-

ble for use, the RCA single-ended (unbalanced) audio outputs
should be used when connecting the SFD-2 MKII to the RCA 
single-ended audio inputs of a line level preamplifier, control
amplifier, integrated amplifier or receiver. (Left channel output of
the SFD-2 MKII connects to the left channel input of control unit
and right channel output of the SFD-2 MKII to the right channel
input of control unit.)
