Input impedance in MC mode

With the (red) jumper placed to the right  side of the jumper sockets (JP101) and (JP301) the input imped-
ance will be 100 Ohm in MC mode.
With the jumper placed to the left sider of the jumper socket the input impedance will be 20 Ohm in MC
mode.

Input impedance in MM mode

The input impedance in MM mode is 47kOhm/200pF.

Switching between MM and MC 

The selection of MC or MM is made with jumpers JP100, JP102, JP104, JP300, JP302, and JP304
