TECHNICAL INFO AND OPTION
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Once the PH-7 has been correctly wired and posi-
tioned on a solid shelf it is ready to play.
The PH-7 has been designed for use in Hi-Fi systems
in sheltered locations. It ought therefore to be protect-
ed from any eventual variations in temperature and
humidity. Avoid to use the unit close to radiators or
other strong heat sources, electrical and electronic
motors, switched on mobile phones etc.
The location in proximity of other audio components is
not theoretically critical, but you should nevertheless
pay attention to this.
In any case, take care to unplug completely the unit
every time you need to move it, or to move the turnta-
ble on which it is matched.
PH-7 Gain & Load
The PH-7 can be set up to be used both with MM or MC
cartridges. The input can be even finely set up with
optional plugs.
The MM stereo RCA input (8) features a 48dB gain
stage able to drive all MM cartridge of the market.
Once the MM input is selected the MM stage set up the
unit automatically at 47KΩ load that is the worldwide
standard compliance for it.
The MC stereo RCA input (9) features a 62B gain stage
able to drive almost all MC cartridges of the market.
Once the MC input is selected the MC stage set up the
unit automatically at 470Ω load.
To eventually adjust the load or the capacitance or the
unit once select MM or MC it is necessary to use
optional RCA loaded plugs into the dedicated connec-
tors (4).
Ask Gold Note to get proper plugs eventually.
PLEASE NOTE: The High Output MC cartridges must be
tested to find the best matching MM or MC (eventually
loaded) accordingly to the manufacturer suggestion.
PSU-7 or PSU-9
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY UNIT
(Optional)
The PH-7 maybe set up even with an optional external
Power Supply Unit (PSU7) via the professional Tyco
connector (5) present on the back panel.
The PSU-7 is a large inductive power supply decouples
the PH-7 from the AC completely for uncompromised
sound performance.
The PSU-9 is in fact the external PSU driven by a
double massive batteries power supply with an auto-
matic recharging system.
