Configuring the TEP 302
10
Both switches On: MC
Both switches Off: MM
The following steps don’t have to be repeated until you change
your pickup system.
Keep in mind to set both channels to the same value!
Begin with setting the adjustment units � to either MC or MM, de-
pending on the pickup system you use (MM is recommended for
high-output MC systems).
Now you can conduct your fine tuning. Most manufacturers of pick-
up systems don’t give any recommendations regarding the ideal set-
tings, they suggest that you adjust the system to your personal taste
(e.g. while listening to your favorite record).
Adjustments for MM systems
Input impedance: 47 kohms
Input capcitance: 15 pF
By using switches 1 and 2 (adjustment units �) you can connect
additional matching capacitances. For an overview over possible set-
tings and values, please refer to the following chart.
Table of values (capacitance)
