Settings
To install your SAM phono module please disconnect the SAM from the
mains. Carefully open the upper housing plate. Please set the both blue
"jumpers" near the socket labeled "1" to the opposite position then being
shipped (facing away from each other).
Now the SAM is ready to be upgraded by the phono module. Insert the
module carefully into the pin arrays up to the mounting bolds. Secure the
module with both the provided nuts.
For further setting up please leave open the housing of your SAM.
Please make sure which type of pick-up you use and which specifications
were recommended by the manufacturer. If any doubt stick to the settings
for "MM pick-ups".
The factory default settings of your SAM phono module are suitable for
most MC pick-ups: 58 dB, 110pF, 470
W
(s. below).
MM pick-ups
For MM pick-ups your phono module is to be set to a gain of 38dB. The
input resistance and capacity may vary.
Place the both jumpers in the middle of the module to position "38".
Input resistance and capacity can be set up by using the jumper arrays on
the left side of the module. The possible values are printed in clear onto
the module. For using 68kW input resistance please remove the correĀsponding jumpers.
If you got no specifications from the manufacturer for your pick-up
please use the positions 47kW and 220pF. These setting are suitable for
most MM pick-ups.
