PLINIUS HIATO
Product Features
OPTIONAL PHONO INPUT
The Plinius Hiato is available as a full line level integrated amplifier, or with a phono
level input installed. The phono input has a total of four gain settings and five
cartridge load settings.
PHONO CARTRIDGE LOADING ADJUSTMENT
The phono cartridge load can be adjusted to suit your
particular phono cartridge, using the 4-way mini-switches
labelled ‘LOADING’.
The switch body shows an arrow indicating the direction for the switch to be ‘ON’.
The switches allow the load impedance to be set to suit your particular phono
cartridge. Once the correct loading value has been determined, use the
corresponding mini-switch to set the load value to one of 470R, 100R, 47R, or 22R.
With none of the switches ON, the loading will be set to 47K. Please consult your
cartridge manufacturer for specific recommendations.
PHONO GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The Hiato Phono input can also be set to one of four gain settings to suit your phono
turntable specifications using the 2-way mini-switches labelled ‘GAIN’. These 2-way
mini-switches allow the gain to be adjusted as low as 50dB, to suit high output Moving
Magnet (MM) cartridges, or as high as 66dB for low output Moving Coil (MC) cartridges.
The possible gain configurations are as follows:
•
The switch body shows an arrow indicating the direction for the switch to be ‘ON’.
•
Switch ‘1’ is the 6dB adjustment.
•
With Switch ‘1’ ON there is an additional 6dB. Used within the 50dB range this will
increase the gain from 50dB to 56dB. Used within the 60dB range it will increase
the gain from 60dB to 66dB.
•
Switch ‘2’ is the 10dB adjustment. With switch ‘2’ ON the gain will be increased
from the 50dB range to the 60dB range.
REMOTE CONTROL
Provided with your Plinius Hiato is a three function remote control. The two buttons
at the top of the remote adjust the volume level, and the button below switches the
