The gain of the phono section can be changed using SW5 and SW6 as shown in Figure 3. The switch settings are printed on the printed circuit board. The two setting are mm (XXX dB) and mc (YYY).
Preamplifier Location:
The Perseus is an open tube design and depends on natural convection flow patterns for proper cooling. To ensure proper cooling, the unit should be located in a position so that the airflow is not impeded. In addition, the unit should have a minimum of 2 inches of free space above it.
OPERATION OF THE PREAMPLIFIER
Powering up the System:
After all proper connections have been made, you are now ready to turn the Perseus preamplifier on. The power on/off switch is on the front of the amp. After approximately ten seconds, the high voltage supply will turn on. After and additional ten seconds, the outputs will disconnect from ground and the preamp is ready. After turning on the preamplifier, turn on the power amplifier and source material and you are ready for listening.
NOTE - This unit will not play for approximately 20 seconds after power on while the tubes warm up.
