Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Smart Phono V2 / Smart
Phono “H” V2
MC/MM phonostage.
The
Smart Phono V2 / Smart Phono “H” V2
features a power switch:
we recommend that you keep the unit switched on in order to maintain a
constant temperature for the electronic parts inside (this uses very little
power). The new
Smart Phono V2 / Smart Phono “H” V2
also has a
built-in volume control unit.
- Set up –
Connect the ground of the turntable/tonearm with the
Smart Phono V2 /
Smart Phono “H” V2
.
To select either the MC (moving coil) or MM (moving magnet) mode of the
Smart Phono V2 / Smart Phono “H” V2
according to your cartridge type,
simply use the switches on the bottom side (one each for left and right
channels):
Position MM = button not pressed, Position MC = button pressed in.
Now you can proceed with connecting the
Smart Phono V2 / Smart
Phono “H” V2
with your MC/MM cartridge and preamplifier. The input
impedance (input load resistor / capacitance) can be adjusted according to
the cartridge requirements, using the jumpers at the bottom of the unit.
Finally, connect the power supply to the mains. For disconnecting, please
follow these instructions in reverse order.
- Attention –
Never cover or put anything on top of the
Smart Phono V2 / Smart
Phono “H” V2
as this could lead to overheating of electronic parts.
If the unit a longer time not in use, please press the button on top of the
device. If the device is not in use, disconnect it completely from the power
supply by removing the main plug from the socket.
Standby mode
- Notice –
1. If you are using the
Smart Phono V2 / Smart Phono “H” V2
with a
two-pin mains plug, you may notice that inserting the plug into the mains
socket one way round gives a slightly better sound than the other way.
Experiment to identify which is the optimum position.
2. Phonostages provide a very high level of amplification, to address the fact
that the electrical signal generated by a phono cartridge is extremely low. As
a result, phonostages are extremely sensitive, which leads to the potential
problem that high-frequency interference may also be amplified to a point at
which it becomes noticeable. Unfortunately it is not possible to completely
protect the sensitive phonostage circuitry from this interference without
degrading its high fidelity performance.
Therefore care must be taken to position the phonostage away from sources
of high frequency interference such as mobile phones, modems and
powerline communication systems (PLC) in which data is sent over the mains
power network.
