Congratulations on your purchase of our Essentials series Phono Amplifier.
Its circuitry has been derived from that of our class leading Agena Phono Amplifier,
from the Reference series of products.

The unit features a switchable moving coil or moving magnet input, together with a
switchable bass cut filter to minimise rumble.

The selections must only be made with the unit powered off.

Changing settings while the unit is on may damage other
components in your system. Turn amplifier off first.

On initial powering, the unit undergoes a soft start routine which means no audio is
produced for approx 30 seconds on power up.

A Turntable ground point. Some of the more esoterically wired turntables may
produce a hum loop when connected here. If hum is generated, do not use.

B Line output. Two RCA Phono output connectors, marked left and right. Connect
these to a suitable line input on your amplifier or pre-amplifier, for example,
auxiliary, using high quality RCA to RCA leads. Do Not connect to a Phono
input. The output of the Essentials Phono Amplifier is at line level and would
severely overload such an input.
