Audio Connections: Before connecting to your line-stage
preamp or integrated amp, make sure the volume control of that unit
is completely turned
down. Connect your
turntable to the left and
right “INPUTS” of the
phono stage, then
secure the turntable
ground wire to the
grounding post
provided on the back
panel. Next, connect a
pair of cables to the left
and right “OUTPUTS” of the phono stage. The other ends of these
cables connect to line level inputs or “AUX” type inputs of a line-stage
preamp or integrated amp. *Do NOT connect these cables to inputs
marked “PHONO” as these typically have circuitry redundant and
inferior to your Fosgate Signature phono stage! (Please consult your
owner’s manual of line stage or integrated to verify as some units
may label a standard line level input as “phono” for convenience).
The output impedance of your Fosgate Signature is low enough to
drive solid state preamps down to a 10K input impedance. This is
accomplished without a cathode follower or solid-state buffer in the
output to affect the sound.
Power Cord Connections: Your Fosgate Signature phono
stage is fitted with a male IEC AC input
connector and supplied with a high gauge
IEC grounded power cord. With the phono
stage power switch in the off (down) position,
attach the female end of the power cord to
the unit and the 3 prong AC plug to a
suitable AC outlet. Due to the high
performance of thus unit, you may prefer an
after-market high quality AC cord. Consult
your Musical Surroundings dealer in this
regard. You may also need to use an AC “cheater plug” or ground
lifter if you encounter a ground loop in your system.
