PHONO STAGE
The phono stage of the Phono 10 may be configured for either Moving Magnet (MM) or Moving Coil (MC)
applications with the additional capability to set the resistive and capacitive loading of the phono cartridge.
Note:
Your Phono 10 has already been configured for a MM stage with a resistive load of 50 Kohms. You do not have to
perform any modifications unless you so desire. To reconfigure your Phono 10, follow the appropriate procedure
listed below.
IMPORTANT - ENSURE THAT THE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AC
OUTLET PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES!
SELECTING MOVING MAGNET / MOVING COIL
1.
Locate the 2-position slide switch on the inside of the unit (see Figure 2). It is located near the back left side
with the front of the unit facing you. The switch can be identified by its blue color and white tab in the center. MC
and MM are labeled on the board on either side of the switch.
2.
Slide the center white tab left or right to select the type of phono stage that is desired.
Left = Moving Coil (MC), Right = Moving Magnet (MM).
NOTE:
The Phono 10 is shipped from the factory with the phono stage set to the MM configuration and a resistive
load of 50 Kohms. Selecting the MC stage without changing the resistive loading (see “Resistive Loading”) will
result in an effective load of 133 ohms.
