Power

When  power  is  applied,  the  STANDBY  key 

a

  is  used  for 

power control. The standby indicator 

b

 shows green when 

the amplifier is operating and glows red when in standby 

mode.

In  regular  use  the  preamplifier  should  be  connected 

permanently  to  the  mains  power  supply.  When  left 

unattended  for  a  long  period  (holidays  etc)  it  should  be 

disconnected from the AC supply.

Selecting an Input

Press the INPUT key 

• 

1@

.

The current input number will be displayed.

Turn  the  ROTARy  CONTROl 

• 

e

  to  change  to  another 

input.
Press the ROTARy CONTROl 

• 

e

 to select the input.

After a short delay, the input will be selected.

Settings display

The  display  will  indicate  the  input  number  selected  and 

whether the input is set for MM or MC operation.
The display will also indicate the gain setting in dB, the input 

resistive  load  setting  (IP  R)  and  the  input  capacitive  load 

setting (IP C).
The bargraph display shows a graphic indication of the left 

and  right  channel  levels.  This  can  assist  with  setting  MC 

gain.

MM/MC cartridge type selection

Each input can be set to be compatible with either Moving 

Magnet or Moving Coil cartridges.

To change between MM and MC for the selected input -

Press the MM/MC key 

• 

1)

.

Turn the ROTARy CONTROl 

• 

to switch between Moving 

Magnet and Moving Coil settings.

Press the ROTARy CONTROl 

• 

e

 to select a new setting.

After a short delay, the cartridge type will change and 

the selection will be saved for this input.

MM/MC indicator

The MM/MC indicator will light yellow when an input is set 

to Moving Magnet and green when set to Moving Coil.

When  an  input  is  selected  or  a  setting  is  changed  the 

indicator will change to red briefly to indicate that the sound 

is muted.

Cartridge matching

Moving coil cartridges

If  you  have  connected  a  moving  coil  cartridge  to  one  or 

more of the inputs, you should now refer to the ‘Configuring 

MC  Inputs’  section  on  the  next  page  to  configure  those 

input(s).

Moving magnet cartridges

For  inputs  set  for  moving  magnet  cartridges,  the  gain, 

resistive load and capacitive load settings are pre-optimised 

to standard values that best match this type of cartridge. 

The GAIN, RES (resistance load), and CAP (capacitance load) 

keys are therefore disabled and the indicators will not light.

Warp filter

The warp filter will assist in removing very low frequency 

information caused by warps in the vinyl. In a high quality 

record  playing  system  these  large  amplitude  signals  may 

overload a preamplifier or cause large bass unit excursions 

for the loudspeakers.

Press the WARP key 

• 

1!

 to switch in the warp filter.

The  WARP  indicator  will  light  and  ‘FLTR’  will  be 

displayed.

Low frequency signals caused by warps will be reduced.

Press again to cancel the warp filter.
