Note:

Use this table to match the capacitance loading characteristics of your SXV2 to that recommended by your cartridge manufacturer. Consult your cartridge documentation for the correct capacitance figure.

If no capacitance value is recommended, use the lowest setting.

Remember to factor in tonearm and interconnect capacitance of your turntable; consult your turntable documentation for these values. See example following for explanation.

Use this table to configure the gain characteristics of your SXV2 to suit the output voltage of the cartridge you are using, where switch in UP position is OFF and switch in DOWN position is ON.

Consult your cartridge documentation for its rated output voltage. Set the gain configuration where the “Sensitivity” of your SXV2 is within ±50% of your cartridge output voltage. If no configuration falls into this bracket, use the setting with the sensitivity higher than your cartridge output voltage.

If more than one setting falls within ±50% of your cartridge output voltage, the lower sensitivity configuration will result in greater dynamic range, the higher will be less susceptible to clipping.

Rated output is 0.75VRMS.

Sensitivity value measured at rated output.

Gain measured at 1kHz.
