Connection and start-up
F or connection use only suitable and shielded audio cables.
C onnect the audio connectors on only analogue connections of audio devic-
es. Should your device not have the required inputs or outputs, use a suitable
adapter.
If in doubt, consult an expert.
C arefully read the input and output connection and/or compatibility section in
the relevant operating instructions of the devices that are to be connected.
F ailure to comply with these instructions can lead to damage to the phono
preamplifier or any connected devices.
A ll devices to be connected, as well as the phono preamplifier must be turned
off during connection and any changes to it.
W hen making the connections, make sure that the connecting cables cannot
be pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
T he USB connector can be connected to USB ports or power supplies with a
USB output.
When connecting observe the colour coding of the RCA jacks:
red = right audio signal
white = left audio signal
Digitization of records
• Connect the output of your record player to the PHONO IN connector on the phono preampli-
fier.
If your record player has a ground terminal (usually a metal screw terminal or a thin
ground wire), connect this terminal with the screw terminal next to the PHONO IN
connector.
• Slide the MM/MC switch in the correct position according to the cartridge used:
MM = Moving Magnet-System / MC = Moving Coil System
• The position of the LINE IN/PRE-AMP OUT switch is not relevant in this particular use.
• Connect the USB connector on the phono preamplifier with a free USB port on your computer.
• The computer recognizes the phono preamplifier automatically and install the required drivers.
• Start your digitizing software and set the source "USB PREAMP" one.
• Start playback on the record player.
