3 pairs – unbalanced (RCA) stereo analog line level inputs (Analog 1 thru Analog 3).
1 pair – balanced (XLR) stereo analog line level inputs (Bal).
1 pair – stereo phono inputs (switchable; moving magnet or moving coil).
1 tuner – FM (with external antenna input; 15 station presets).
1 – digital coax (S/PDIF); stereo; 24/192k.
2 – digital optical (Toslink); stereo; 24/192k.
1 – digital USB (DAC input); stereo; 24/192k.
1 – Bluetooth receiver; Bluetooth 5, AptX and AAC (antenna included).
1 – HDMI-ARC input; stereo (PCM 2.0)
1 pair – unbalanced (RCA) stereo line level Preamp Outputs.
1 pair – balanced (XLR) stereo line level Preamp Outputs.
(Both outputs are fed by a switchable analog 12 dB/octave high-pass filter, whose cutoff
frequency can be set to anywhere between 40 Hz and 200 Hz.)
1 – unbalanced (RCA) line level summed Subwoofer Output.
1 – balanced (XLR) line level summed Subwoofer Output.
(Both outputs are fed by a switchable analog 12 dB/octave low-pass filter, whose cutoff
frequency can be set to anywhere between 40 Hz and 200 Hz.)
1 – 1/8” (3.5mm) front panel stereo headphone output.
1 pair - audiophile grade five way binding posts which accept banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wires. To enable Bass Management on the Speaker Outputs, set the High Pass filter to On, and choose the filter cutoff frequency with the associated adjustment knob. These controls affect both the Preamp Outputs and the signal that is routed to the internal amplifiers in the TA2+ equally. Bass Management is implemented via analog 12 dB/octave high-pass filters, whose cutoffoff frequency can be set to anywhere between 40 Hz and 200 Hz.
Power – rocker switch; rear panel.
Standby – front panel push button.
Two front panel push-buttons – Input Select; menu operation.
Front panel digital encoder knob – Volume; Tuning; menu operation.
VFD Display – high visibility blue alphanumeric VFD display (dimmable).
LEDs – amber Standby LED; blue illuminated legend for Input buttons.
Compact, all metal, full-function infrared remote control (which is powered by a single CR2025 button-cell battery).
