The gain setting for an MC cartridge should be 60dB (refer to figure 5), whereby the jumpers are mounted into the left-most
pins for socket J17 (left channel) and socket J22 (right channel).

Rear Panel Connections
Figure 6: MOON LP3 Rear panel
The rear panel will look similar to Figure 6 (above). There is one pair of single-ended inputs on RCA connectors located in the
center with a ground post directly above. Connect the cables from your turntable to these inputs and the ground lead wire to
the ground post. There is one pair of single-ended outputs on RCA connectors located to the left of the inputs. Using a pair of
RCA terminated interconnect cables, connect these to your preamplifier/integrated amplifier.
Don't hesitate to use high
quality interconnects. Poor quality cables can degrade the overall sonic performance of your system. Finally, on the right side
is the power supply input connector, labeled "12VDC INPUT" for use with the included power supply.
All rear panel connectors have been chosen because they provide the best possible connections for your unit. A poor contact
will degrade the signal substantially, and plugs and sockets should all look clean and free of dirt and corrosion. The easiest
way to clean them is to remove the cables from their sockets and push them back in again. This procedure requires that your
Phono Preamplifier and the rest of your components be completely turned off. Not heeding this warning may result in serious
damage to your equipment. Special contact cleaning fluids and enhancers should not be used, as they deposit a difficult to
remove residue which can degrade the performance of your components over the long term.
