PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION
Ventilation through and around your Plinius M14 Phono Preamplifier should be kept unimpeded, so
ensure that the heat vents (slots in the lid) are not covered or restricted in any way. Also refrain from
placing the Plinius M14 on top of other electronic equipment to avoid RF interference being introduced to
the highly sensitive phono stage circuitry.
The Plinius M14 design incorporates a very high level of mechanical de-coupling of the input and output.
However, it can still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment. The use of
acoustic cones or a suitably spiked preamplifier stand or table, may further enhance the performance of
this preamplifier. Consult your PLINIUS
PLINIUS
PLINIUS
PLINIUS dealer for further advice if required.
MAINS VOLTAGE CONNECTION
Firstly, check that the mains supply voltage printed on the rear of this preamplifier is similar to the mains
supply voltage in your area. If in doubt, please consult your PLINIUS
PLINIUS
PLINIUS
PLINIUS dealer.
Mains supply power connection is via the supplied plug-in lead. A standard IEC socket connects the
mains power at the preamplifier end, while a local mains plug is required at the wall end.
The wiring code used inside all Plinius product is:
Green to Earth/Ground

Should a ‘local’ plug need fitting to the wall end of the lead, ensure that a suitably qualified service
technician wires the plug correctly.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT POWER UP YOUR PREAMPLIFIER UNTIL YOU
HAVE CONNECTED YOUR INPUT/OUTPUTS CORRECTLY
FOR YOUR SYSTEM, (AS EXPLAINED IN THE NEXT
SECTION).
