Configuring the TEP 302

Adjustments for MC systems
Input impedance: 1000 ohms
Input capcitance: 15 pF
The permanent input resistor cannot be deactivated. The input im-
pedance can be adjusted by using switches
3 to 6 (adjustment units
�
). All matching resistors are connected in parallel, therefore allow-
ing impedance values between 99 ohms (all resistors used) and 1000
ohms (no additional resistors used).
This is how you can find the best settings:
First listen to your favorite record using the highest impedance, then
the lowest, and finally select a resistor with a value of about 600 ohms.
Now try different adjustments until you get the results you want. All
values can be found in the table below.
Keep in mind to set both channels to the same value!
