Connection of your PLP
Once if the points mentioned above are respected, the connections between
the PL-P and the amplifier as well as those connected to the line inputs of the
PL-P should cause no problems.
Only the connection to the turntable must be done with great care. The feeble
signal levels coming from the cartridge of the tone-arm can easily be disturbed
if the installation is not correct.
In order to overcome all the possible con-figurations for the installation of your
PL-P, it offers a certain number of different possibilities:
1x Earth connector which is securely fixed to the metal chassis of the PL-P.
2x Phono input connectors which are NOT connected to the chassis of the PL-
P.
2x Internal jumpers, allowing one or other of the phono connectors to the
chassis.
2x Input transformers which act not only as impedance matching in the MC
position but also render the two inputs floating.
2x Internal jumpers allowing the input transformers to be bypassed if desired.
The location of the jumpers used to change the resistive and capacitive
loadings of the cartridge, or the activation of the RIAA rumble filter are not
covered in this section.
The configuration of the jumpers mentioned below depend purely on the
construction of the turntable.
The following situations may be confronted:
A. The turntable is a single block unit.
All the various parts of the unit are
connected to the chassis and in turn to
the earth wire. (This includes the metal
parts of the tone-arm as well as the
TWO shielding wires of the signal wires
coming from the cartridge.)
