The Phase Indicator LED only lights up if the mains connector
is incorrectly connected and remains dark if the polarity is
correct. Phase Indication functionality has deliberately been
designed in this way, as the control electronics of the phase
LED (15) produces slight interference when the LED is swit
-
ched on. This is not the case when the mains polarity is cor
-
rect (and the LED is switched off).
1.9 Connection of a turntable
The PH 8.3 offers connections of up to four turntables with
MM or MC cartridge systems via optionally available input
cards (slot-in modules). To find out whether your pick-up sys
-
tem works according to the MM or MC principle, please refer
to the corresponding documentation of your pick-up system.
Depending on the design principle of the cartridge system
used, select a suitable PH 8.3 input board with an unbalanced
RCA input or balanced XLR input of the input board. Now con
-
nect the turntable to the sockets of the input card using an
appropriate RCA or XLR cable. Connect the ground cable
coming from the record player to the ground contact (knurled
nut below the input connectors) of the corresponding input
card.
1.10 Connection to a (pre)amplifier
Connect the outputs of the PH 8.3 (11, 12) to an analog high
level input of your (pre)amplifier using suitable cables. Make
sure the XLR connection has the correct pin assignment (see
Figure 1.3.1, “Pin Assignments,” on page 4) which is also
printed on the rear panel of the device.
