The Madrigal-designed RCA-type connectors used for single-ended audio intercon-
nection are a great improvement over ordinary RCA-type connectors, offering supe-
rior contact integrity and mechanical locking when used in conjunction with the
Madrigal cable-mounted RCAs. The gold-plated XLR-type connectors used for bal-
anced connections are made to professional application standards.

When power is first applied to the Nº380S, the preamp will run through an auto-
matic initialization sequence which (among other things) provides a “role-call” of
the current input names (see “Names” on the next page), selects the first name

We recommend you allow the circuitry within your various system components
to stabilize for 1 to 2 minutes before use after such a power outage.
