Chapter 3 - Instructions for Use
Caution
Remember 48V phantom-power is a relatively high voltage and there is the risk of electric shock,
to you and to your equipment.
Connect phono leads to the Groove Sleuth Adaptor and plug the adaptor into the microphone input
BEFORE energising the phantom-power. Switching on the phantom-power should ALWAYS be last
item in the connection sequence. See
Connecting and using the equipment.
When disconnecting equipment, switching off phantom-power should always be the FIRST item in
the disconnection sequence. Allow a few seconds for the phantom-power charge to leak away
before dismantling the connections. See
Dismantling the equipment
.
Do not leave this product with nothing connected to the input when plugged into a microphone
input with the phantom-power energised.
NEVER connect a cartridge to a Groove Sleuth Adaptor which is plugged into the microphone input
with the phantom-power energised. Connecting a cartridge to an energised preamp in this way
can damage the phono cartridge.
