Switches and Controls -
The Rogue Ninety-Nine is equipped
with the following controls
•
Volume - gain adjustment from 0- 23 dB
•
Gain - a variable gain adjustment for source and speaker matching.

Ninety-Nine preamplifier should not be left turned

unit when not in use.
4)
Remote Volume Control -
The Rogue Ninety-Nine is equipped
with an analog remote volume control feature. The volume may
be adjusted manually using the knob on the front panel, or by
using the remote control provided.
Note -
Some noise may be heard when operating the
remote volume. This is normal and is a result of the
DC motor noise being picked up by the sensitive
audio circuitry during the volume change.
Note: This unit will not play for approximately 20
seconds after power on while tubes warm up.
up. 12AX7 tubes can also be used for even greater gain. It should
be noted however that very low noise tubes must be used in the first
gain stage (the two rear 12AX7 tubes) so that tube noise or “rush” is
kept to a minimum.
3)
The cartridge loading is factory set for 47K ohms and 150pF of
capacitance. This is suitable for most moving magnet and
moving coil cartridges. Special cartridge loading can be ordered
from the factory or from your local dealer.
4)
Connecting the power supply -
Carefully plug the connectors,
Con A and Con B, coming from the power supply into the rear of
the preamplifier. See Figure 2. Connect the IEC end of power
cord to the power supply, and plug opposite end into
corresponding outlet.
Note: Be careful to ensure 3 and 6 pin sockets (Con
A and Con B respectively) mate to corresponding
plugs. See Figure 2.
