APPENDIX C

CONNECTING A PHONOGRAPH TURNTABLE TO THE iKEYPLUS

To connect a conventional phonograph turntable to the iKEYplus, you will need to use the supplied RCA cable with single ground spade. As you will notice, there is only a ground spade on one side of the cable, not both. In order to minimize hum, this ground spade must be placed under the grounding lug found on the rear of your turntable. If your turntable is hard-wired with RCA cables and a ground wire, then you may alternatively ground the turntable by fastening the ground spade under one of the included thumbscrews on the iKEYplus faceplate.

Some modern turntables, including many consumer models, may have built-in phono preamplification. This means that instead of outputting a phono-level signal, it outputs a line level signal, which is a much stronger signal. If you are not sure if your turntable has built-in phono preamplication and find that your recordings are coming out sounding excessively distorted, you may want to try switching the REC LEVEL switch to ‘LN’ (line level).

For higher quality recordings from a conventional turntable (one without built-in preamplification), we recommend the following options:

1.Record from a mixer that has phono inputs.

2.Use a standalone phono preamplifier.

3.Record from a home stereo receiver that has phono inputs.
