Introduction - Musical Surroundings PHONOMENA II Owner's Manual

1.0) INTRODUCTION

The Phonomena II is a complete phonograph preamplifier with RIAA
equalization that amplifies the output signal of a phonograph cartridge, either
moving-coil or moving-magnet, up to a nominal "line level". The Phonomena
II may be used with a receiver or an integrated amplifier. If you use separate
components, a line level control unit (preamplifier) is required before the
power amp, since there is no independent volume control for the Phonomena
II unit. The Phonomena II's power supply connects to the wall with the
supplied wall-mount transformer.
Installation and set-up of the Phonomena II is quite simple. It involves:
a.) Setting the two internal configuration settings (one for each channel)
for Gain and Input Loading (see section 2).
b.) Connecting to a power source (with the supplied wall-mount
transformer).
c.) Connecting the Audio Inputs and Outputs (see section 4)
d.) Placing the unit (see section 5).
