GAIN SWITCHES
The Gain switches are located on the back panel. Use a non-metallic tool to adjust
the settings (up=on, down=off).
The chart below provides a general guide to choosing Gain settings appropriate
to your cartridge.
There are 16 total possible Gain combinations.
After adjusting the gain to match factory recommendations, settings may be
further fine-tuned to personal taste or system characteristics.
Generally, lower Gain settings (40dB) are intended for moving-magnet
cartridges or high-output moving-coil cartridges.
Higher Gain settings are intended for low-output cartridges (0.5mV or so).
Note: Always let the unit settle for 60 seconds after any configuration changes are
made before listening. Slowly raise the volume control to insure that the unit is
stable and will not damage your system if the configuration is not set correctly.
