Musical surroundings phonomena ii phonograph preamplifier

3.0) POWER SUPPLY

The Phonomena II connects to a wall outlet or power strip with the supplied

wall-mount transformer. The unit will not operate without the wall-mount

transformer.

Please make sure that the volume control on your receiver, integrated amp,

or pre-amp is turned completely down before plugging in the audio

connections. Connect the phonograph cables of your turntable to the inputs

of the Phonomena II, noting proper left and right connections. Attach the

turntable's ground lead to the ground lug on the rear panel of the unit.

Using a high-quality interconnect cable, connect the outputs from the

Phonomena II to the line-level input of your receiver, integrated amplifier or

pre-amp, again noting proper left and right channels. DO NOT PLUG THE

PHONOMENA II OUTPUT INTO A "PHONO" INPUT. Use the standard LINE IN

jacks, as phono jacks often include special circuitry that is not needed when

using a phonograph preamplifier.

The Phonomena II may be placed under your turntable if space allows, on a

separate shelf in your audio rack, or on top of another source or line-level

component. Please make sure that ventilation to the unit is not restricted,

and that the unit is away from magnetic fields or noise from other

components' motors, transformers or displays.

If you have followed the above instructions, you are ready to play music.

Simply cue down your cartridge on a favorite record, select the correct input

on your receiver, integrated amp or pre-amp, slowly bring up the volume

level, and sit back and enjoy the music.
