Summary of Contents for Sutherland Hubble

  • Page 1 THE HUBBLE -a phono preamplifi cation instrument by Sutherland Engineering OWNER’S MANUAL...
  • Page 2 It will earn your respect as a long-term, col- laborative teammate. Even before you listen to the Hubble, you will recognize the correctness of its character. The sub- stantial size and weight are the first indications of its enduring build quality. But its svelte propor- tions, along with an uncluttered elegance, also speak of craftsmanship -- pride of ownership.
  • Page 3: Design Philosophy

    The Hubble uses a power pack of 16 alkaline ‘D’ cell batteries. They have a very long life, are read- ily available anywhere in the world and are inexpensive to replace. They also completely remove the Hubble from the AC power line and avoid any possibility of power line ‘ground loops’.
  • Page 4 The Hubble (mono version) is as mono as it gets. It is literally a mono phono preamplifier. It was con- ceived for the collector of mono recordings that wants to listen with a mono cartridge. A pair of them would be the ultimate ‘dual-mono’...
  • Page 5 The Hubble addresses the issue of circuit board dielectric in a novel – yet elegantly simple way. All signal carrying conductors are on the top plane of the circuit board. There are no copper conductors on the bottom plane of signal carrying regions.
  • Page 6: Initial Set Up

    Gain setting boards plug into centrally located headers. Legends printed on the circuit board clearly indicate position and function. It is 100% OK and 100% safe to operate the Hubble with the top cover removed. You may wish to leave the cover off when experimenting with various configuration possibilities.
  • Page 7: Installing Batteries

    Move the momentary toggle switch to the right to turn on power. The green light will then illuminate to show power is ON (if batteries are low it will dim, or become fully extinguished). The Hubble will remain ON for one hour and then automatically power down. If you wish to add more operating time, each time the toggle switch is moved to the right, another hour will be added.
