Phono Inputs
Phono Turntables must be fitted with a magnetic cartridge with nominal output level between -55dBV and -25dBV
(1,77 to 56mV). The PHONO inputs (34) of the NUO2.0 have a high headroom (margin before saturation) and it
can handle higher output cartridges than what is usual. These inputs are supplied with a nominal input sensitivity of
-40dBV(10mV).
Line Inputs
The sensitivity of the inputs marked as LINE (35) is 0dBV (1V). You can connect sound sources such as CD, DAT
or MP3 players, as well as keyboards and other instruments.
Microphone Input
The MIC input (36) is ready for a nominal input level of -50dBV (3.16 mV). The connection of balanced signals is as
follows:
Hot or direct signal > Tip
Cold or inverted signal > Ring
Ground > Sleeve
Low impedance (200 to 600Ω) monophonic microphones must be used. For non balanced microphones we
recommend monophonic jack plugs although stereo ones are also suitable if the ring is shortcircuited to the sleeve.
The NUO2.0 wears an 18V Phantom power for condenser microphones. An internal jumper allows disabling the
phantom power. The NUO2.0 MICRO input is delivered ex works with enabled phantom power (see the
configuration diagram).
