Loading between 100 Ohms and 1 Kohms may be used with some solid state for best
results. We strongly recommend starting at 47 Kohm loading down until breaking in has
been completed.
All Clearaudio phonostages are always an ideal partner.
We achieved the best results with a loading of 200 ohms.
4. Important notes
Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to connect or install your MC-
Cartridge to avoid any loss of warranty. There is a very high possibility of damaging
your moving coil cartridge, while connecting or disconnecting to a preamplifier or
phonostage which is not properly grounded.
If the ground of your preamplifier and ground of your tonearm and turntable are not
connected together, there could be a dangerous situation for your MC-Cartridge (which
will be not covered under warranty). Under such conditions during the procedure of your
tonearm first cable-connecting to your preamplifier, there could be a high hum voltage of
up to 150 V 150 Hz respectively 80 V 160 Hz present! (Depending on preamplifier-circuit
design!)
High current which could flow through your MC-Cartridge during the plug in procedure
could result in damaging and melting very fine MC-Coil gold wires.
This would be not covered by Clearaudio warranty! Therefore, be careful and follow
instructions below:
1. Connect tonearm turntable ground with preamplifier ground
(before plugging in the electrical power supply)
2. Mount MC-Cartridge into the tonearm
3. First plug the tonearm cable into the phono inputs an your
preamplifier
4. Preamplifier volume control must be placed fully down
1. (position " 0 ")
5. Plug the main power cord into your electrical power supply
6. Switch " ON "your preamplifier
7. Your MC-Cartridge is ready to play!
Please enjoy the music.
Please note
Never disconnect your tonearm cable from your preamplifier, while your unit is still "
ON ". Please switch your preamplifier " OFF ", before starting to disconnect your
tonearm connectors from the phono inputs of your preamplifier.
