Basic rule of thumb for typical
MM cartridges
(default factory setting) :
Gain :
40dB
Curve :
RIAA
Resistance :
47kΩ
Capacitance :
100pF
Basic rule of thumb for
MC cartridges
:
Gain :
60dB
Curve :
RIAA
Resistance :
475Ω
Capacitance :
0pF
Please note that these abovementioned settings
are starting points, but in no way assure that
these are the best settings for any turntable/
cartridge setup.
Always power off the unit (by unplugging
the power supply) before making any change
of input settings via the bottom accessible
dipswitches.
Multiple combinations of settings can be applied
to optimize the input for the cartridge. Ideally
have the recommended settings from the
cartridge manufacturer on hand as a starting
point before any experimentation. And then
you may experiment around the recommended
values for best sound.
To adjust each of the four parameters (Gain,
Curve, Resistance and Capacitance), look at the
position of dipswitches drawn on the silkscreen
representations below the unit, and look for the
desired value of each parameter. Then using the
provided red stick as a tool, move the dipswitch
in the position that corresponds to the desired
value.
