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 . With this
in mind, 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 though
to the speakers . Once options are set, the
volume should then be turned back to normal
listening level .
Operation
Once the M6 ViNYL unit is correctly wired up, and
plugged into mains, the orange STBY led should
be lit .
In this mode the M6 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 .
IRC
Press the IRC 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 .
Input selection
The M6 ViNYL has a total of five phono inputs
available .
From the front panel you can cycle through the
inputs by using the ◄ and ► buttons (
7
) . Pressing
► while on input 5 will cycle back to input 1. Whilst
on input 1 the ◄ button will take you to input 5
again .
When each input is selected, the M6 ViNYL will
remember the last settings applied .
Outputs
On the rear of the unit are 2 sets of outputs .
RCA (single ended) and XLR (balanced). Both
can be used simultaneously. XLR (balanced)
is recommended for greater dynamic range
and lower noise, while RCA (single ended) is
recommended for compatibility with other devices .
You can connect the M6 ViNYL to your amplifier
using whichever is more convenient .
