Cartr. Balance
The Cartridge Balance adjustment enables you to compensate for differences between left and right
channel. The balance is adjusted by decreasing the left or right channel between 0 - 3dB.
Cartr. Capacit.
The cartridge capacitance can be set to 100 or 430pF.
Pls. refer to the specifi cation of your cartridge to fi nd the correct setting.
For MM cartridges start with 100pF. If this setting sounds too ‘bright’, use 430pF.
For MC cartridges use 430pF unless otherwise specifi ed.
Cartr. Impedance
The cartridge impedance can be set to 20, 100, 200 or 47k Ohm. 20 – 200 Ohm is typically used for mov-
ing coil cartridges and 47kOhm for moving magnet cartridges.
Pls. refer to the specifi cation of your cartridge to fi nd the correct setting.
For MM cartridges the normal setting is 47k Ohm.
For MC cartridges start with 200 Ohm. If this setting sounds too ‘open’ select 100
or 20 Ohm until you are satisfi ed with the sound.
Polarity
With the polarity setting you have the possibility of compensating should the connection somewhere in
the ‘chain’ not be in phase. It is recommended to correct any ‘out of phase’ connections and use this
feature as a phase check only.
Available settings are:
Left + Right +: Normal mode
Left + Right - : Used if the right channel is out of phase
Left - Right +: Used if the left channel is out of phase
Left - Right - :Used to change to total phase 180 degrees
To test if left and right channels are in phase is quite easy. You just listen for the setting giving the most
bass – this is also the setting where all instruments are at ‘the right places’ in the sound stage.
