Black Cube Statement
Putting into operation
EN
To put your Black Cube Statement into operation, you need
information about your pick-up system.
Two details are important: Are we talking about an MM (moving magnet) or MC
(moving coil) system? What is the required connection resistance? As a rule, you will
find both pieces of information on the product packaging of your pick-up system.
Please ask your specialist dealer for recommended values in case of doubt. Support
for correctly configuring your Black Cube Statement will be gladly provided.
Once you have the required information, please proceed as follows:
1 | Set the volume on your system to minimum or turn your amplifier off
entirely.
2 | Set the gain for your pick-up system (MM/MC) on the Black Cube State-
ment. The setting must be identical for both channels. Use the DIP switches
on the bottom of the device and the gain Jumpers on the inside. Common
amplifier settings for various types of pick-ups are found on the next page.
The gain Jumpers are inserted at the factory.
3 | Set the terminating resistance on the Black Cube Statement. The setting
must be identical for both channels. Use the custom impedances inside and
the DIP switches on the bottom of the device. Further information is found
on page 43.
3 | Connect the record player to the input on the Black Cube Statement.
4 | Connect the output on the Black Cube Statement to a line input on the
downstream amplifier. To largely exclude line losses, the signal cables
should be kept short.
5 | Connect the power supply .
Common settings
The switch/gain Jumper configurations for some systems are
listed below. Please note that both channels must have the
same setting in all cases.
