It is often easier to connect the tonearm wires to the connection pins located at the
rear of the cartridge body before it is mounted in the head-shell. The pins are colour
coded according to the International Standard Colour Code. Connect the four
tonearm wires to the corresponding cartridge pins: -
As the IO Ltd is a field coil design, it requires a DC voltage to generate the internal
magnetic field. To receive this voltage from the external power supply unit, the
cartridge is equipped with an
additional pair of connection pins
, located at the top /
rear of the cartridge body: -
To connect these pins to the external power supply unit, an additional pair of internal
(or external) arm wires and a two core / twisted pair external arm cable of suitable
length (to reach the external power supply unit) will be required.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT CONNECTION CABLES
MUST BE OF SUITABLE SIZE AND FLEXIBILITY SO THAT THE TRACKING AND
OPERATION OF THE TONEARM IS NOT DISRUPTED.
Audio Note (UK) manufacture dedicated versions of their tonearms for the IO Limited,
equipped with 6 internal wires and an additional length of external cable from the
base of the tonearm. For further information regarding these models, please contact
