Customising the

KOLEKTOR

This chapter explains the advanced features of the KOLEKTOR, including configuring the source inputs and the user options.

Configuring the inputs

The KOLEKTOR allows you to assign any of 12 alternative source names to each of the ten inputs on the back panel. The name you assign to an input determines the display shown on the front panel, and the handset button used to select the source.

You can assign the same name to two or more different inputs, in which case the inputs will be selected in turn each time you press the corresponding handset button.

Using a moving magnet phono source

If you want to use a moving magnet phono source with the KOLEKTOR Preamplifier connect it to input 1, and change input 1 to the name Ph. You cannot give the name Ph to any of the other inputs.

Removing inputs

You can assign the name __ to any input, to indicate that it is unused. The input will then not appear when you step through the sources with the SRC- and SRC+ buttons. This is very convenient if you have fewer than ten sources.
