3) MODE
Choose between MM/MC mode
MM = Input impedance of the integrated phonostage 47 kOhm
MC = Input impedance of the integrated phonostage 500 Ohm
4) RCA OUTPUT
Due to an additional board, the signal is always active on the headphone output and can be controlled
by the volume control on the turntable, regardless of the chosen setting.
5) GND (Grounding screw for optional grounding)
In the event of humming noises, we recommend connecting the included grounding wire between
your turntable and your amplifier.
Please note:
Phonostages are devices designed to provide a very high level of amplification. This is necessary
because the electrical signal generated by a phono cartridge is extremely low (usually less than
one-thousandth of a volt). The job of the phonostage is therefore to accurately equalize the phono
signal and boost it to line level (measured in volts).
However, phonostages are by nature 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.
