► Please observe the safety instructions and positioning information (see chapter
2,
page 4).
1. Before connecting the preamplifier, switch off all other equipment that you intend
to connect to it.
2. Move the MM/MC toggle switch to the setting for the desired pickup cartridge
system (see section
3.2, item (
6)).
3. Depending on the pickup cartridge system, connect the MM/MC pickup cartridge
system to the MM or MC inputs on the
Phono EQ.2
(see section
3.2, items (
1)
and (
2)).
4. If you have connected an MC pickup cartridge system, set the input impedance
and the gain (see section
5.1, page 8, and section
5.2, page 9).
5. Connect the ground cable to the ground connection on the pickup cartridge sys-
tem (see section
3.2, item (
3)).
6. Connect the
Phono EQ.2
outputs (see section
3.2, item (
4)) to the inputs on the
preamplifier/integrated amplifier.
7. Plug in the
Phono EQ.2
wall adapter power supply (see section

systems
The input impedance value is important for balanced pickup cartridge sound.
1. Please see the technical data or the pickup cartridge system’s owner’s manual for
the recommended impedance.
2. Set the recommended input impedance according to the following table. If the
recommended input impedance is not listed in the table, use the closest value. If
two values are possible, you can select the optimal input impedance using a lis-
tening test.
Switch no.
