Madrigal Imaging N380S Manuale Utente

MONO
Pressing this button will toggle the Nº380S in and out of the 

mode,

having the same effect as pressing the front panel 

button. Mono

mode activates circuitry which combines Left and Right input signals, and
sends the resulting monophonic signal to both Left and Right outputs. This
circuit is particularly useful when listening to older, monophonic source ma-
terial, at which time significant noise reduction may be realized.

DISPLAY
Duplicates the function of the 

button on the front panel,

cycling among four levels of brightness (including “off”) for the display, al-
lowing adjustment for various ambient lighting conditions. (Tip: If pressed
and held for several seconds, the display button will place your Nº380S in
Standby.)

SOURCE SELECTION
These buttons provide remote selection of the six inputs of the Nº380S.
Pressing any of these buttons (or the 

buttons) while the Nº380S

is in standby will bring it fully on and operational. These buttons are gray
instead of black to serve as a reminder of this secondary function.

VOLUME +/-
Raises the volume at either low speed for fine adjustments or high speeds
for larger changes. The Nº380S will slowly raise its output for the first 1.5
seconds this button is depressed, then move to higher rates of change.

Pressing either 

button while the Nº380S is in standby will bring

it fully on and operational. These buttons are gray instead of black to serve
as a reminder of this secondary function.

Note that all volume and balance functions are disabled if a surround
sound processor [“ssp”] input is selected. For more information on this spe-
cial feature of the Nº380S’ design, see “Using Surround Sound Processors.”

POLARITY
Inverts the 

(sometimes inaccurately called “absolute phase”) of the

outputs of the Nº380S. A second press of this button will restore the out-
puts to their original, non-inverting polarity.

MODE
Duplicates the function of the Mode button on the front panel, cycling
through 

and 

modes. As with the front panel

button, use it in conjunction with the Source Selection buttons when in ei-
ther 

or 

mode and with the 

buttons when

in 

mode.
