Connection Of A Turntable - Emotiva RSP-1 User Manual

Connection of a Turntable

This connection diagram shows a turntable connected to the RSP-1 preamplifier via RCA outputs. Please also
note the connection of the chassis ground tab between the turntable and preamplifier. This is necessary for
audio signal reference so the RSP-1 processes signal from the turntable with minimal unwanted noise.
On the back of the RSP-1 preamplifier there is a selector switch labeled MM/MC. This represents "Moving
Magnet" or "Moving Coil" cartridges. Please engage the switch in the correct position based on the type of
cartridge your turntable has.
The PHONO input is not designed for line level sources such as CD players or other devices. Please only
connect turntables with Moving Magnet or Moving Coil needle cartridges to this input to avoid damage.

Phono Inputs
This audio connection type is the one you must
connect to the inputs on the RSP-1 labeled "PHONO" in
the AUDIO INPUTS section of the rear panel. You must
also connect the ground post.
Please note - for the PHONO connection,
you must select the type of cartridge, either
high output Moving Magnet (MM) or low
output Moving Coil (MC) by moving the
switch to the appropriate position.
If you are not sure which type of cartridge
you have, select MM first and then if the
noise level is too high, try selecting MC
instead.
