Thank you for buying Lejonklou Slipsik 7!
Please read this manual carefully before connecting your Slipsik.
Connections
Slipsik is a moving magnet phono preamplifier built in dual
mono. This means that each side handles one channel only; left
and right. Start by connecting your turntable to the upper phono
sockets as shown below.
!
Now connect a good pair of unbalanced interconnects from the
outputs to a pair of line level inputs on your amplifier.
!
Make sure the connectors are pushed all the way in. If they are
too loose or too tight, the music will suffer. If possible, try
tightening or loosening the male connectors of your interconnect
until the fit is “just right”. If your turntable has a ground lead,
connect it to the large ground screw. Before connecting the power
cord, please lower the volume of your system. On European
models, make sure the
live
phase of your power socket is on the
same side as the
x
in the name
Volex
printed on the pin side of
the power cord plug. This will result in a weaker electrical field
around the power supply inside Slipsik, which improves the sound.
Never ever
shorten or modify the power cord of your Slipsik 7.
Slipsik has very low power consumption and is designed to be
operating continually. We strongly recommend, however, that you
disconnect your Slipsik from the mains during thunderstorms and
when left unused for longer periods of time.
Extra ground lead
The optimal situation for your system is that all components are
grounded through their power cords, to a single common point
(for instance a power strip). Slipsik uses a floating signal ground
design, which in most situations results in the highest possible
sound quality.
In some systems, however, when Slipsik is properly grounded and
the amplifier is not, a hum problem can result. The solution is to
connect the supplied ground cable, between a rear corner screw
and the ground screw, as shown in the illustration below.
If you don’t have a hum problem, don’t fit this cable.
!
We hope you will enjoy your Slipsik 7!
If you encounter any problems with it, please contact your retailer
