Setting the cartridge mode

The phono amplifier can be used in either MM (for moving magnet and high-output MC cartridges) or MC (for

low-output MC cartridges) mode according to the construction principle of the pickup cartridge to be used.

Since most cartridges use the MM principle the phono amplifier is factory set to operate in this mode. To find

out which type your cartridge is please consult the literature accompanying your cartridge. If in doubt please

consult your dealer.

A switch at the back of the phono amplifier sets the correct level of amplification for the cartridge.

Before setting MM / MC mode the unit must be disconnected from the power supply and amplifier.

Connectors

Make all connections whilst the phono amplifier is disconnected from the power supply.

Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the

left channel black or white.

Do not connect the phono amplifiers output to a phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA)

on the amplifier.

Never use any other power supply than the one supplied with the unit.
