Putting into operation
To put your Black Cube/Black Cube SE into operation, you need
information about your pick-up system.
Two details are important: Are we talking about an MM (moving magnet) or MC (mo-
ving coil) system? What is the required connection resistance? As a rule, you will find
both pieces of information on the product packaging of your pick-up system. Please ask
your specialist dealer for recommended values in case of doubt. Support for correctly
configuring your Black Cube/Black Cube SE will be gladly provided.
Once you have the required information, please proceed as follows:
1 |
Set the volume
on your system to minimum
or turn your amplifier off entirely.
2 |
Connect the
power supply
.
3 |
Set the
gain for your pick-up system (MM/MC)
on the Black Cube/Black
Cube SE. The setting must be identical for both channels. Use the
DIP
switches on the bottom of the device
and the
gain jumpers on the inside
.
Common amplifier settings for various types of pick-ups are found on the next
page. The gain jumpers are inserted at the factory.
4 |
Set the
terminating resistance
on the Black Cube/Black Cube SE. The setting
must be identical for both channels. Use the
custom impedances inside and
the DIP switches on the bottom of the device
. Further information is found
on page 41.
5 |
Connect the
record player to the input
on the Black Cube/Black Cube SE.
6 |
Connect the output on the Black Cube/Black Cube SE to a
line input on the
downstream amplifier
. To largely exclude line losses, the signal cables should
be kept short.
ATTENTION!
Never connect the output of the Black Cube/Black Cube SE to
the phono input of another device. This could damage the phono
stage or speakers.
4 | Operating mode display (LED)
When the LED is lit up, the Black Cube/Black Cube SE is operational. The device
does not have a power switch.
5 | Grommet for the external power supply (Black Cube)/PWX power supply
(Black Cube SE)
The four-pin Neutrik XLR connector is plugged into the enclosed power supply.
Please do never pull off or plug in this connection during operation.
By purchasing a PWX power supply the Black Cube is upgradeable to the Black
Cube SE.
