Operation
Once the M3x ViNYL unit is correctly wired up, and
plugged into mains, the orange STBY led should
be lit.
In this mode the M3x ViNYL is consuming a
minimal amount of power.
To switch the unit on, press the Power button (1)
on the front of the unit. The blue PWR indicator
will light along with the red MUTE indicator. After
a few seconds, when it has stabilised, the MUTE
function will switch off and the unit is ready for
use.
MM/MC selection
Press the MM/MC button (
2
) to switch between
MM/MC cartridges.
MM loading
Press the MM loading button (
3
) to cycle through
MM loading.
IEC
Press the IEC button (
4
) to reduce the subsonic
output of the phono amplifier caused by disk warp
and turntable rumble.
Gain
Press the +6db button (
5
) to increase the output
gain.
MC loading
Press the MC loading button (
6
) to cycle through
MC loading.
Note: A great deal of effort has gone into
making sure that the unit exhibits no loud
noises through the system during switching
options or on/off. However, once installed into
a hifi system, it is still a very high gain
(amplification) amplifier at the beginning of a
high
amplification
chain.
Therefore,
increasing the main amplifier volume to
maximum and listening for clicks/thumps is
neither recommended nor sensible. It is strongly
recommended that the option buttons are only
pressed when the volume is turned down (or
muted), to avoid any accidental loud transients
getting through to the speakers. Once options are
set, the volume should then be turned back to
normal listening level.
Input
The M3x ViNYL has a one RCA (single ended) phono
input. Connect your turntable to this input.
The M3x ViNYL will remember the last settings
applied.
Output
On the rear of the unit there is one set of RCA
(single ended) outputs. Connect your M3x ViNYL
to your amplifier using this output.
