Manley MOVING COIL & MOVING MAGNET PHONOGRAPH PREAMPILFIER - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
THANK YOU!...
...for choosing The MANLEY CHINOOK phonograph preamplifier. Please read this manual carefully as
it contains information which is essential to the proper operation and maximum enjoyment of this
fabulous instrument.
With the current resurgence of vinyl playback, MANLEY LABS could see the need for a new design. By
utilizing the same advanced technology as used in our critically-acclaimed flagship STEELHEAD
preamplifier, a new product was developed: the CHINOOK. State-of-the art performance now
available at a fraction of the cost.
Everything from the most exotic 180 gram audiophile pressing, to a 25 cent thrift-store classic will be
reproduced accurately and musically.
The MANLEY CHINOOK is designed to provide that rare combination of optimum sonic performance
coupled with the ability to use either moving magnet or moving coil cartridges.
As we say here at MANLEY LABS: Chino…...OK!
Unpack your Chinook Phono Preamplifier carefully and make sure that all supplied accessories are
present.
Examine all items for any possibility of shipping damage. All four tubes should be standing to
attention in their sockets. If the unit is damaged or fails to operate, notify the dealer who supplied
the unit, contact the shipper if the packing box shows excessive damage and finally contact us if you
are not happy with the response you receive.
Your CHINOOK was packed with extreme love and care. Each box includes the following components
and accessories:
1 x 6 foot Mains Cable IEC 3 to 3 pin connector suitable for your country
(that you will probably replace with an expensive audiophile cord anyway.)
1 x Owners Manual (that we hope you will keep reading.)
It is wise to retain the shipping materials for future use, as they are custom-formed for the
preamplifier and will greatly minimize the chance of shipping-related damage should you ever need
to put your precious Chinook in the careless hands of The Shipping People again.
