unlikely that most MM cartridges would benefit from more than
300 picofarads (PF) of loading capacitance.
Note that the combined capacitance of the tonearm and
(
interconnect wiring must be added to the selected capacitance
value of the Conductor.)
The switch above the capacitance values increases the gain of
Input 4 to accommodate High Output Moving Coil Cartridges.
The default input impedance for HOMC cartridges is typically
recommended to be 47k ohms. However, the loading input
resistance can be adjusted internally for values lower than 47k
ohms for potential cartridge performance increases. Values other
than 47 k ohms is only available when the Conductor switch is
set to HOMC. Refer to the Loading Chart for High Output
Moving Coil Cartridges in this manual.)
Both RCA and XLR output connectors are provided for the
Conductor Line Outputs. Due to a transformer output
configuration, both output connectors provide a ground
isolated, balanced signal for the lowest possible output noise
and elimination of system ground loops. The signal level is
equal between the XLR and RCA outputs.
A DC Power Input connector allows the use of an external
power source for eliminating signal contamination from stray
magnetic fields present in most power supplies. Connect the
supplied DC power cable between the external power supply
PSU or PPS-1 DC Power Supply and this connector. Note that
this cable is supplied with both male and female type
connectors for correct installation. To remove this cable, simply
pull on the outer sleeve in the direction to be removed. The
external power source will only be powered on and off when
the STANDBY button on the Conductor front panel is
depressed.
A 5 pin DIN type connector is provided for connecting an
optional cable and EQ switching unit for switching different
equalization curves for playing vintage records.
