Congratulations on the purchase of your new Smart Phono V2 MC/MM
phonostage.
The Smart Phono V2 features a power switch: we recommend that you
keep the unit switched on in order to maintain a constant temperature for
the electronic parts inside (this uses very little power). The new Smart
Phono V2 also has a built-in volume control unit.
- Set up –
Connect the ground of the turntable/tonearm with the Smart Phono V2.
To select either the MC (moving coil) or MM (moving magnet) mode of the
Smart Phono V2 according to your cartridge type, simply use the switches
on the bottom side (one each for left and right channels):
Position MM = button not pressed, Position MC = button pressed
in.
Now you can proceed with connecting the Smart Phono V2 with your
MC/MM cartridge and preamplifier. The input impedance (input load resistor
/ capacitance) can be adjusted according to the cartridge requirements,
using the jumpers at the bottom of the unit. Finally, connect the power
supply to the mains. For disconnecting, please follow these instructions in
reverse order.
- Attention –
Never cover or put anything on top of the Smart Phono V2 as this could
lead to overheating of electronic parts.
- Notice –
1. If you are using the
Smart Phono V2 with a two-pin mains plug, you
may notice that inserting the plug into the mains socket one way round
gives a slightly better sound than the other way. Experiment to identify
which is the optimum position.
2. Phonostages provide a very high level of amplification, to address the fact
that the electrical signal generated by a phono cartridge is extremely low. As
a result, phonostages are extremely sensitive, which leads to the potential
problem that high-frequency interference may also be amplified to a point at
which it becomes noticeable. Unfortunately it is not possible to completely
protect the sensitive phonostage circuitry from this interference without
degrading its high fidelity performance.
Therefore care must be taken to position the phonostage away from sources
of high frequency interference such as mobile phones, modems and
powerline communication systems (PLC) in which data is sent over the
mains power network.
