SORO PHONO SE SIGNATURE Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) SORO Phono SE Signature Integrated Amplifier. It is a Pure Class A, Parallel Single Ended valve design, which preserves the entire musical waveform as one ‘whole’, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the majority of current designs. Part selection is optimized to realize the most neutral and realistic sonic reproduction.
CONNECTION Phono input The SORO Phono SE Signature is equipped with a high quality, valve, Moving Magnet (MM) phonostage. Connect the cables from your tonearm to the ‘Phono’ socket inputs. If your Turn Table is equipped with a separate earth wire, connect this to the dedicated grounding / earth post, located next to the ‘Phono’ input sockets. If you wish to use a low output Moving Coil (MC) cartridge, Audio Note manufactures a series of Step Up Transformers for this purpose.
OPERATION Once all the connections are completed and checked, ensure that the volume control is at the minimum setting (rotated all the way left). Turn on the amplifier by using the rocker switch located on the rear panel, above the IEC mains inlet socket. The red front panel light should now be lit. The amplifier requires approximately 45 seconds to initialize before it is ready for operation. Input Selector Turn the selector to the source you wish to listen to.
