(4) BALANCED INPUTS: If you are using balanced XLR interconnects from your source
components, they should be connected to balanced INPUTS 3 and 4. A slight mechanical
click may be heard when the balanced XLR interconnect cables are correctly installed and
locked into the rear panel connector. The unlocking tab must be pressed to disconnect the
XLR interconnect cable from the integrated amplier. The XLR inputs may be left open if
unused. Any XLR input can be converted to an RCA input by installing an XLR to RCA
adapter, available from your JRDG dealer.
NOTE: Pin 2 of each XLR connector is signal positive with respect to each RCA input. Also, Jeff
Rowland Design Group recommends balanced cables as the preferred method of
interconnection.
(5) BALANCED LINE OUTPUTS: The CONTINUUM S2 also has one pair of RCA unbalanced line
level outputs.
(6) LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS: Unscrew the knob that secures the speaker output connectors
on both the SPEAKER OUTPUT A and the SPEAKER OUTPUT B and pull the securing block
out far enough to allow access to the binding posts. Install the positive (usually red)
loudspeaker cable spade terminal to the positive (+) binding post and the negative (usually
black) spade terminal to the negative (–) binding post. Secure the loudspeaker connections
by tightening the knob securely with your ngers.
(7) REMOTE ON/OFF: A 1/8” (3.5 mm) mini-plug connector is provided on the rear panel of
the CONTINUUM S2 for remotely switching the amplier between Operational and Standby
modes. When connected to another component with the proper circuitry, the amplier
Standby mode can be turned ON and OFF remotely. When the CONTINUUM S2 Standby
mode is activated, the power amplication section will be inactive and the line output jacks
can be used to drive and external headphone amplier for using headphones. All front
panel functions and in/out jacks remain active.
(8) GROUND LUG THUMBSCREW: This connection is reserved for units with the optional
phono section installed. When connecting a turntable, the ground or earth lead should be
connected to the GROUND LUG THUMBSCREW to eliminate any ground noise in the system.
(9) AC MAINS INPUT CONNECTOR: Install the AC Power Cable into the AC input
connector between the amplier and your AC mains outlet.
(10) INTEGRATED HANDLE: Use for safe transport of unit.
POWER CONDITIONING: AC power conditioners and custom AC mains power cables are a
common accessory in many high performance audio and video systems and can be used to
improve the quality of music reproduction in certain instances. We have supplied the best
possible basic power cord with the CONTINUUM S2; however, many users may wish to use
