Connection and Setup
Two cartridge inputs are available on the rear panel. By default, connect the cartridge
cable to Input 1 if only using a single cartridge.
Two outputs (plus USB monitor) are provided on the rear panel. Choose either the RCA
unbalanced or XLR balanced outputs and connect them to a line level amplifier input
using good quality inter-connect cables. Typically the amplifier input would be 'Aux'.
Apply power to unit and switch on using the power switch on the rear panel. The unit
will enter standby (standby button lit on front panel).
Power the unit ON from the front panel standby button.
After the welcome screen appears, press ‘Sleep Lock’ to keep the processor and dis-
play awake.
On the front panel select Input 1 (it may already be set like this!).
Press ‘OK’ to enter menu system and navigate up to INPUT SETUP.
Adjust the gain, input resistance and capacitance for the cartridge that you are using.
The recommended resistance and capacitance should be specified by the car-
tridge manufacturer and is normally found in the specification sheet packed with
the cartridge or on the manufacturers web site. The gain should be set to the
next higher number than the output of the cartridge i.e. if the cartridge is 300uV,
use 340uV setting etc. This maintains maximum headroom.
These settings are associated with the input and headshell in use and may be
different for each combination. If a different input or headshell is selected, the
settings must be adjusted as required for each combination.
Press OK to save the set-up and exit the menu. At this point, the settings will take ef-
fect.
