Dear Clearaudio-customer, Thank you for choosing the

by Clearaudio. To avoid misuse and achieve the best possible results with your please read the instruction and user manual carefully.

The design of the Clearaudio records to a standard barely imaginable.

The fully symmetrical circuit topology of the statement phono preamplier together with the ability to use either RIAA, or almost any other phono equalization curve makes the preamplier one of the most exible and sophisticated phono preampliers in the entire audio world. Hand selected and matched electronic parts such as extremely low noise resistors and non-magnetic silver-glimmer capacitors contribute towards the phenomenal performance.

- Fully symmetrical analogue circuit

- Extremely low noise resistors and non-magnetic silver-glimmer capacitors

- Remote control input load adjustment

- RIAA and fully adjustable equalization curves

- 2 phono inputs

- 3 additional analogue inputs

- Fully symmetrical accu power supply in separate, massive housing.

- Double shielded case construction

2.2 Applying Power

The external power supply contains two separated power supplies, which provide four individual supplies to each channel. Before applying power, check the voltage indication on the external power supply is correct for the local AC power in your country. Connect both 15-pin D-Sub-connectors to

the

statement phono

on the AC power-switches on the power-supplies. After 3-5 seconds the “Mute LED” turns o and the signal outputs are working.

Note:

Never disconnect the D-Sub connector from the Before you disconnect the D-Sub connector from the power supply or from the make sure, that the AC Power switch is in the OFF position! Only then you can disconnect the D-Sub

connectors.

2.3 Input and Output Connections

The quality of the interconnect cables are extremely important in realizing the full sonic potential

of the Clearaudio

not coaxial.

Inputs and outputs for left and right channels are marked accordingly on the rear panel.

If you are using the unbalanced RCA-Inputs, the ‘Input Select Switch’ must be in the “Unbalanced” position, if using the XLR connector the switch must be set to “Balanced” it valids by balance+. By Statement are everything other. To achieve the best high delity performance you also can connect the your power amplier. The automatic mute function will prevent any noise from reaching the loudspeakers if the statement phono is turned on or o while the power ampliers are still turned

on.

2.4. Minimizing Hum Note: You should minimize hum before listening to an LP record!

Also we recommend the use of phono cables with symmetrical design such as Clearaudio “Quint” or “Sixstream”. To minimize hum and other undesirable noise, if possible you should use the balanced inputs and

outputs.

Also always take care to ensure an eective ‘Ground’ connection to your turntable.

Please note:

Phonopreamplier are devices with a high signal gain, because the voltage which is supplied by the cartridge of the turntable is very low (in the range of a few µV). For this reason high frequency

interference signals are noticeable reinforced. A complete blocking of these interference signals in the device would degrade the audio performance.

A result could be that high frequency interference, for example from the 230 V net or 115 V AC will aect the sound quality.

The device should therefore not operate near to high frequency generating devices such as mobile phones or modems or electricity networks for data transport (PLC).
