Optimization and
Customization
Technically oriented users may wish to explore
additional customization options that are available.
Custom Loading Resistors
When using custom loading
resistors, leave the loading
switches in the “Up” position
(47 k
Ω
).
Should additional loading values be desired, custom
loading resistors are also easily accommodated. As
there are two types of inputs (balanced and
unbalanced), simply connect the desired value of
loading resistor to the unused inputs using an
appropriate connector (RCA or XLR).
Required materials include a pair of high-quality
resistors of the desired value and an additional pair
of the appropriate connectors (RCA or XLR). Male
polarity connectors are required for the custom
loading resistors.
When using a balanced (XLR) connection to the
turntable, solder the desired value loading resistors
between the center pin and the shell of the
additional male RCA connectors. These additional
connectors are then inserted into the otherwise
unused unbalanced inputs of the P-5xe.
