Summary of Contents for VPI Voyager
- Page 1 VPI Voyager Phono Preamp Manual Setup and Instruction Manual VPI Industries, Inc., 77 Cliffwood Ave. #5D, Cliffwood, NJ 07721 http://www.vpiindustries.com...
- Page 2 Quick Start Guide 1. Safely unpack the unit and its accessories (Voyager, Power Cord, 2 Shorting Jacks) 2. Place the unit on a sturdy and dry surface 3. Insert shorting jacks in un-used inputs if needed 4. Plug the unit into a grounded electrical socket 5.
- Page 3 Accommodating multiple arms or various cartridges is now simple. Changing between two inputs with front panel selection of gain and cartridge loading makes the Voyager a Swiss Army Knife for vinyl lovers. VPI created a phono preamplifier circuitry that truly compliments the capabilities of your VPI turntables.
- Page 4 Overall the sound of the Voyager is very consistent from top to bottom, cut from the same cloth as the saying goes.
- Page 5 MM/MC choice for the input the voyager selects either resistive or capacitive loads. MC loads of 100R, 500R or 1K ohms and MM capacitive loads of 100pf, 200pf or 270pf can selected using the front panel switches for each input.
- Page 6 The layout The circuit layout, execution and fine-tuning of the Voyager’s circuitry is the results of many years of investigation and experimentation. The grounding and supply networks have been implemented through careful consideration of both the circuit biasing and signal return currents, much like the voicing during the creation of a fine musical instrument.
- Page 7 Active devices include: Linear Systems JFETS and Fairchild low-noise small signal and power transistors; The Voyager is proudly made in America using all American sourced parts. Important Safety Instructions TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
- Page 8 * Power Cord * 2 RCA Shorting Jacks. Inspect the Voyager carefully for any sign of shipping damage and contact us immediately should you find any. We recommend that you save the box and its packing material to protect it if you need to move or ship it.
- Page 9 • Do not install the Voyager in an unventilated cabinet or confined space to avoid stagnant hot air. • Allow at least 1.5” of clearance on all sides of the Voyager if placed in a cabinet, if confined cabinet...
- Page 10 It might be necessary to experiment with the exact positioning of the turntable signal cables to minimize hum. Audio Output Connections: The Voyager’s output jacks connect to the input jacks on your line level preamp. The Voyager has 1 set of output jacks, unbalanced. The Voyager does not invert polarity.
- Page 11 AC power switch: This switch is provided to turn the Voyager off when it won’t be used for an extended time. Normally, leave the switch in the “on” position. The power switch is located on the back panel next to the power input module.
