Note: The Clearaudio SPG was designed for a

maximum peak power of 8 watts.
DO NOT use units requiring more than 8 watts.
Although the Clearaudio Syncro (SPG) unit can be placed anywhere (within the limits of the power
cord) it is recommended to keep it far enough away from phono cartridges, phono cables and phono
preamps.
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.
On the back panel of the Clearaudio Syncro (SPG) is the mains ON-OFF switch (ON = I, OFF = 0).
The power is ON, when this main switch is in position ON (I).
Please make sure, that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before installing the primary AC
power cord !
On the front panel you will find three switches:
When the set-up is completed, switch mains to “ON” position on rear panel, and next front panel to
power “ON”. The centred blue LED should light.
The central display can be switched between output “Voltage” and output “Frequency”. Corresponding
blue control LED light in “Frequency” or “Voltage” position.
