All input, output and power connections should be made with the mains power switched OFF.

INPUT CONNECTIONS

The rear panel of your kW Phono pre- amplifier has two pairs of phono input sockets, one pair for left and right moving magnet (MM) and the other pair for moving coil (MC) pickup cartridges.

(See also page 6, MM / MC switching).

Two sets of switches located on the rear panel are for optimising phono performance as follow:

MC (only):

Input loading can be changed as required by sliding the LOADING switch underneath the PHONO MC input socket between the 100 Ohms and 10 Ohms options. Both positions have an input capacitance of 470pF.

MM(only):

A four-way switch underneath the PHONO

MMinput socket is for matching the characteristics of your phono pickup and lead to the kW Phono. When all the switches are off (up), the input impedance is 68K Ohms in parallel with 47pF capacitance.

When each individual lever is moved downwards, loading of the MM phono input circuit changes as shown by adjacent graphics on the rear panel (see also specification on page 7). If you are not sure which combination to select, please consult your dealer.

Some turntables or pickup arms are fitted with an extra wire for chassis earthing. This should be connected to the chassis earth

terminal on the back panel.

(Note : this is not a safety earth).

CONNECTIONS

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

The kW Phono has two line level audio outputs from RCA sockets on the back panel, marked OUTPUTS. Using good quality RCA co-axial audio leads, connect the left and right outputs to the pre-amplifier input of your audio system.
