To achieve the full performance of the
Balanced Reference Phonostage , please read the user
manual carefully!
The following pages will ensure the best performance and will help to avoid misusage.
Please note:
Phonostages are devices designed to provide a very high level of amplification. This is
necessary because the electrical signal generated by a phono cartridge is extremely low
(usually less than one-thousandth of a volt). The job of the phonostage is therefore to
accurately equalise the phono signal and boost it to line level (measured in volts).
However, phonostages are by nature extremely sensitive, which leads to the potential problem
that high-frequency interference may also be amplified to a point at which it becomes
noticeable.
Unfortunately it is not possible to completely protect the sensitive phonostage circuitry from
this interference without degrading its high fidelity performance. Therefore care must be taken
to position the phonostage away from sources of high frequency interference such as mobile
phones, modems and powerline communication systems (PLC) in which data is sent over the
mains power network.
