AUDIO CONNECTIONS –The Back Panel
At this point we are ready to make connections to the LP-1. Before making any connections to
your systems make sure that all power is disconnected. The rear panel is laid out logically to
facilitate connection to the rest of your system. Refer to the picture below for a close up view
of the rear panel.
With the LS-1 off attach the umbilical cable to the connector marked DC IN on the LP-1. Next
plug the other end into the DC OUT on the LS-1. You have now made the power connection
between the units. Note that the LP-1 gets all its operating power from the LS-1 and cannot
work separately from that unit. We are now ready to make other connections. Connect the
lead from your tonearm first. Use the MC IN connection. If your Phono cable has a ground
lead connect this to the GND binding post on the rear. Next plug RCA cables into the jacks
marked OUTPUT and then connect to one of the LS-1 RCA inputs (1 – 5).
Note: The DC OUT jack on the rear of the LP-1 is there to provide power to a second LP-1
Phono Module or other Veloce Audio accessory.
Finally, review the specifications of the cartridge you are using with the LP-1 for
“recommended loading”. Once you have this value the process is simple. Select the most
appropriate of the supplied loading plugs (none is also a valid choice) and plug it in. The LP-
1 is supplied with single XLR type loading plugs in several common values. These plugs are
inserted into the MC LOAD jack on the rear of the unit to provide cartridge loading. One
plug loads BOTH L & R channels.
You are now ready to turn on the LP-1 by switching on the master switch on the rear panel on
this unit (if you have not already done so). This switch can be used to turn the LP-1 ON or
OFF independently of the LS-1 main unit. If you are not going to be listening to vinyl, switch
the LP-1 OFF in order to save tube life and increase runtime of the LS-1. At this point turn
ON the LS-1 main unit via remote or the UP button on the front panel. The blue LED on the
front panel of the LP-1 will light if it is switched ON. This is normal and shows that the unit is
working properly. When the LS-1 is turned OFF, the blue LED on the LP-1 will turn off too,
and the LS-1 go into charge mode, if required, or standby mode.
