Connecting up
This section provides information on connecting your aerial, power adapter and other devices. Connector sockets are provided on the rear panel
of your EVOKE-1 Elgar. Before connecting other devices to your EVOKE-1 Elgar, switch both devices off. For a quick setup you can connect just
your power supply and aerial – the other connections listed are optional and will not prevent normal operation of the unit.
Connecting to an external amplifier
You can connect your EVOKE-1 Elgar to an external amplifier. This may be a stand alone unit or it may be built into your
existing hi-fi system or powered speakers.
Connect the Stereo Line Out socket to the Tuner-in socket on the back of your amplifier using a 3.5mm to stereo
phono cable.
Connecting to an aerial
The supplied telescopic aerial enables your EVOKE-1 Elgar to receive digital radio transmissions. If you find that the
telescopic aerial does not provide good reception you can remove this aerial and connect an alternative DAB aerial. For
information on aerial types and positioning see Aerial advice on page 17. To find out about DAB coverage in your area,
see the list of useful addresses on page 15.
1. Unscrew the large nut on the end of the telescopic aerial to remove the aerial from the Aerial socket. Note Take
care not to unscrew the thin nut behind that holds the aerial connector itself in place.
2. Screw the aerial plug of your replacement aerial onto the Aerial connector on the rear of your digital radio.
You may have to experiment with different aerial positions to find the best reception for particular services. Just
like with FM reception, you may find that you want to move the radio around your living space to find the best
location for reception – near a window may provide better reception.

Connecting to power supply
Once you have made all other connections, connect the supplied power lead to the socket on the rear of your digital
radio and plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
Connecting an auxiliary speaker
You can connect a second unpowered speaker to your EVOKE-1 Elgar radio using the Aux Speaker socket. This enables
full stereo reproduction. Call us on 01923 277488 to find out more or visit our website at www.pure-digital.com to
purchase a matching ST-1 auxiliary speaker.
Connecting to headphones
You can connect a set of stereo headphones to your EVOKE-1 Elgar radio using the headphones socket.
Connecting to an external recorder
You can connect your EVOKE-1 Elgar to an external recording device. This may be a stand alone unit such as a tape
recorder or MiniDisc recorder or it may be built into your existing hi-fi system.
Connect the Stereo Line Out socket to the Line-in sockets on the back of your recorder using a suitable cable.
