Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to connect or install your MC cartridge to avoid any
loss of warranty. There is a very high possibility of damaging your moving coil cartridge, while connecting or
disconnecting to a preamplifier or phonostage which is not properly grounded.
If the ground of your preamplifier and ground of your tonearm and turntable are not connected together,
there could be a dangerous situation for your MC cartridge (which will be not covered under warranty).
Under such conditions during the procedure of your tonearm first cable connecting to your preamplifier,
there could be a high hum voltage of up to 150 V 150 Hz respectively 80 V 160 Hz present! (Depending
on preamplifier-circuit design!) High current which could flow through your MC cartridge during the plug in
procedure could result in damaging and melting very fine MC Coil gold wires.
This would be not covered by
Clearaudio
warranty! Therefore, be careful and follow instructions below:
1.
Connect tonearm turntable ground with preamplifier ground (before plugging in the electrical
pow er supply)
2. Mount MC cartridge into the tonearm
3.
First plug the tonearm cable into the phono inputs an your preamplifier
4.
Preamplifier volume control must be placed fully down (position „ 0 „)
