Summary of Contents for Conrad-Johnson PV14L
- Page 2 Thank you for selecting the PV14L as the control center for your audio system. Using it, we believe that you will hear more from your favorite recordings than ever before. Drawing on more than two decades of research at conrad-johnson into the reproduction of recorded music, the PV14L line-stage preamplifier excels at the recreation of the dynamics, textures, tonalities, and ambience of live musical performances.
- Page 3 Units which have been modified, altered, or improperly repaired by anyone not specifically authorized by conrad-johnson design, inc. c) Units not purchased from an authorized conrad-johnson dealer in the United States for use in the United States. d) Normal wear.
- Page 4 The Service Department can also be reached by phone at 703-698- 8581,by fax at 703-560-5360. Service If your conrad-johnson audio component requires service, repack it using the original box and packing material and ship to the Service Department address above. Boxes and packing materials can be pur- chased from our service department if you no longer have yours.
- Page 5 10% of the nominal rated voltage. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Considerable care has been taken in the design of the PV14L to minimize it’s susceptibility to radio frequency interference and other forms of EMI. Choice of materials, physical layout, grounding practice, and power supply design have all been specified with a view to reducing the impact of electromagnetic fields on the performance of this unit.
- Page 6 OUTPUT: Connect to the input of your amplifier (or crossover in a bi-amplified system). We recommend the use of an amplifier with an input impedance of 20k ohms or higher. Since the PV14L inverts phase, it may be necessary to invert the speaker leads to maintain correct absolute phase.
- Page 7 When first connected to ac mains, or after an interruption of power , the PV14L will turn on, after auto-muting, in a default mode with the level control set at 20 and the CD input selected. In subsequent sessions, as long as the ac mains has not suffered a power outage, the unit will turn on at the last used volume setting and input.
- Page 8 Pressing the source button will connect the selected source directly to the volume control and line stage. Remote Control All operations of the PV14L can be controlled by the hand-held wireless remote unit. MUTE: Pressing the mute button will cause the main outputs to mute and the level display to be zero.
- Page 9 Tube Replacement The audio circuit of the PV14L uses two type 6C4 miniature triode vacuum tubes. The brand of tubes we supply has been chosen by first selecting those brands which are known to be most reliable, then by extensive auditioning of these acceptable brands with the final choices being made solely on the basis of sonic performance.
- Page 10 This will be the case if the number of phase inversions is even (or zero). The PV14L is phase inverting. If your system has an odd number of inversions, (for example, if the PV14L is the only phase inverting unit in the chain) then you must add one phase inversion.
