Musical Fidelity A308 CR Input Connections, Pre-Amplifieroutput, Tape Recorder Connection

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

INPUT CONNECTIONS

The A308 CR Pre-amplifier has one pair of phono inputs, which can be used either for moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) pickups.

The phono input sensitivity requirement can be changed from MM to MC by press- ing the push-button switch located on the rear panel.

Important - Do not operate the MM/MC switch with the volume control turned up.

Some turntable/pickup arm combinations are fitted with an extra wire for chassis earthing. This should be connected to the earth terminal on the back panel.

The A308 CR Pre also has five “line level” inputs which are electrically identical, and therefore suitable for use with any source component having an output of at least 300mV.

The sockets on the rear panel are marked CD, TUNER, AUXILIARY 1, AUXIL- IARY 2, and TAPE, to correspond with function buttons on the front panel.

Connect the left and right outputs from your CD player, tuner, tape deck or phono/ record deck to the appropriate RCA input sockets on the back panel.

For the best results we recommend using either Musical Fidelity X-LINX "no-non- sense" cables for this connection or the highly rated Nu-Vista leads with integral RFI suppression. Various lengths are available in the Nu-Vista interconnect range. Please contact your local dealer for more information.

CONNECTIONS

PRE-AMPLIFIER OUTPUT

The A308 CR Pre has a pair of audio out- puts from RCA sockets on the back panel, which are controlled by the volume adjust- ment.

TAPE RECORDER CONNECTION

The A308 CR Pre has a single tape circuit with facilities for off-tape monitoring with 3-head tape decks (see page 7).

Connection of your tape recorder to the

A308 CR Pre should be as follows:

The tape deck's left and right line outputs are routed to the pre-amplifier's TAPE (input) sockets, and the tape deck's line inputs are connected to the A308 CR's TAPE RECORD (output) sockets.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON . . . . .

Plug the accessory IEC mains lead into the rear panel socket, then the other end into a convenient wall outlet.

Turn the volume control on the front panel to minimum (anticlockwise).
