Optional Voltage - Mode Moving Coil Input
Signal Inputs
•
The Lino C second MC inputs are balanced, requiring balanced cables for optimal performance.
An internal jumper setting is provided to configure the input for Unbalanced operation; however
even when using a coaxial input cable, better results are usually obtained by keeping the input
configured for Balanced operation.
Cartridge Loading
•
Adjust resistive loading with the switches. Intermediate settings are available by combining the
settings. Resistances combine geometrically. For example, selecting the 100 and 200 ohm settings,
the resulting resistance is 1 / ((1/100) + (1/200)) = 67 ohms. If selecting more switches, the same
principle follows. For example, selecting the 200, 500 and 750 ohm settings, the resulting
resistance is 1 / ((1/200) + (1/500) + (1/750)) = 120 ohms.
With all resistive loading settings disabled, the resistance is 1000 ohms.
Signal Ground
•
Connect the ground wire from your turntable / tonearm (if so equipped) to the grounding lug. This
terminal is connected to circuit common. A removable banana plug is provided, with a set screw
for securing a ground lead terminated in a spade lug, otherwise a bare wire can be twisted around
the set screw and the screw tightened.
If your turntable doesn't have a grounding connection, leave this terminal disconnected.
Important: only connect the ground to a turntable chassis or ground wire, not to a ground
connection on any other equipment.
Gain
•
The input gain is 58 dB and can be increased via the Gain adjustment switches: 61 dB (+3), 64 dB
(+6) or 67 dB (+3 and +6) dB.
