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.
