CONFIGURATION

Conventional designs use inexpensive, low-quality computer rocker switches. Their de-

sign is inadequate for configuring the low-level signal from a phono cartridge. To offer

the user a wide range of configurations, while maintaining signal integrity, the Insight

uses gold-plated header pins and gold-plated shunts. They offer high-pressure and

large surface area contacts.

Each channel has two configuration headers: One to select cartridge loading and an-

other to select gain. When changing configuration, be sure to set each channel to the

same value. Options are printed directly on the circuit board next to the configuration

headers.

GAIN ADJUSTMENTS

There are five available gain

settings. Gain is set using the

supplied, gold-plated shunts.

There is a gain setting header

block for each channel. Posi-

tion the shunt to the desired

gain value. Be sure to set the

gain of each channel to the

same value.

LOADING ADJUSTMENTS

There are five available load-

ing settings. Loading is set

using the supplied, gold-plated

shunts. There is a load setting

header block for each channel.

Position the shunt to the de-

sired loading value. Be sure to

set the loading of each channel

to the same value.

CONNECTING

The symbols on the back of the Insight show signal path. The inner two RCA jacks are inputs for your

turntable. The outer two connect the Insight to your preamplifier. The post in middle is for your turn-

table’s ground wire, if it has one.
