Operating LED
does not light up.
Power supply is not
plugged in.
Plug the power supply into the
outlet.
Power supply is not con-
nected to the device.
Connect the power supply to
the device.
No signal.
Power supply is not

Power supply is not con-
nected to the device.
Connect the power supply to

The input and output on
the Black Cube Statement
are connected incorrectly.
Check whether the cables com-
ing from the record player are
connected to the input and the
cables leading to the amplifier
are connected to the output
of the Black Cube Statement,
and connect them correctly if
applicable.
The incorrect input
channel is selected on the
downstream amplifier.
Select the correct input channel.
Signal on one
channel only.
DIP switches are set
inconsistently or only one
gain Jumper is inserted.
Check the position of both DIP
switches and/or gain Jumpers.
Make sure that the settings are
the same for both channels.
Signal on one
channel only.
A connecting cable has
a loose contact, is not
properly inserted in the
jack or is defective.
Check the connecting cable
for bad contacts, loose plug
connections and defects, and
replace it if required. Possibili-
ties: System cable (head shell),
pick-up arm cable from the
record player to the Black Cube
Statement and line cable from
the Black Cube Statement to
the downstream input.
The downstream input
stage is defective.
Resolve by connecting to vari-
ous line inputs.
The left and right
channels are
inverted.
The channels are inverted
in the connecting cable.
Check the connecting cables
and swap the channels here if
applicable. Possibilities: System
cable (head shell), pick-up arm
cable from the record player to
the Black Cube Statement and
line cable from the Black Cube
Statement to the downstream
input.
Signal is too low.
Adjustment between the
pick-up system and Black
Cube Statement is not
optimal.
Increase the amplification
factor according to this user
manual using the DIP switches
under the Black Cube State-
ment and/or activate the high
gain Jumper.
The input resistance on
the Black Cube Statement
is too low.
Adjust the input resistance so
it is higher than the system
impedance of the pick-up by at
least a factor of 10.
