Gain Switch
By moving the switch S2 from High to Low position, the amplifier’s gain is reduced by about
6dB. While the High gain position provides the most universal setting, it may be desired to
reduce the overall system gain when using some high output phono cartridges.
Gain Potentiometers
Gain potentiometers R130 and R230 allow the user to optimize the VK-P5 performance when
using very high output cartridges. It is recommended that for the cartridges with a nominal
output of 3mV or lower these controls be set fully clockwise.
Some high output cartridges (those with nominal output of over 3mV) may benefit from a
reduction in overall gain of the VK-P5 preamplifier and a corresponding increase in its input
overload margin. Moving the R130 and R230 controls fully counterclockwise will reduce the
overall preamplifier gain by approximately 6dB and increase the overload margin.
The fully clockwise position provides the most universal setting and is recommended for most
cartridges.
Balance Adjustment: The R130 and R230 controls can also be used to compensate for
system balance shift, such as when using cartridges exhibiting output voltage differences
between the left and right channels.
