4. Connecting PLATINUM
Note:
• The mounted Ortofon 2M RED cartridge is a
MM cartridge, so please set your audio
system to MM (not MC).
•
Make sure the audio system / amplifier you
connected to PLATINUM is switched off and
its volume set low.
• Before turning on your audio system and
PLATINUM, make sure all connections are
made properly, and you choose the right pre-
amplifier setting.
• Failures in doing so may lead into loud hum
noise which may damage your audio system
or speakers.
1. Connecting to an audio system /
amplifier
•
Connect your audio system and PLATINUM
by using the delivered RCA cable.
•
If your audio system has a built-in phono
amplifier, there most probably will be a
grounding terminal. Please screw the
grounding cables on both sides: Your audio
system and PLATINUM. As well plug the RCA
plugs into the phono input of your audio
system and the output of PLATINUM.
Note:
•
The ground terminal of PLATINUM is not a
safety ground connection.
• Depending on the amplifier, connecting the
ground terminal might have the reverse effect
of increasing noise. In this case, it is not
necessary to connect the ground terminal.
• It is not recommended to connect
PLATINUM’s phono ground to MAESTRO’s
phono ground plate.
