that its operation is not adversely affected by

normal background levels of Radio Frequency

Never open the case of the LX2-LPS yourself, as
this will invalidate the guarantee.

likely to be walked on or trapped by items placed
on them.

The LX2-LPS will operate in accordance with its

specications within the following environmental

range:

Connections

All connections must be made before the mains

adaptor is plugged in and before any amplier

connected is switched on. Always switch off

the equipment attached to the LX2-LPS before

connecting/disconnecting power, changing
leads or inputs. This is to prevent loud noises
being put out through the speakers.

connect the left and right turntable outputs to
the correct LX2-LPS INPUT sockets.

Use the phono MM input for moving magnet

cartridges. Fit your loading plugs if required.

Use the phono MC input for moving coil

cartridges. Fit your loading plugs if required.

Outputs

Connect the LX2-LPS left and right OUTPUTS to
the desired LINE LEVEL (e.g. AUX) inputs of the

amplier system.

supply unit into the LX2-LPS power inlet socket,
and plug the adaptor into a convenient wall

mains outlet. Switch on the unit, and the
statusLED next to the power switch will light to

conrm the unit is ready for use. Now select the

MM/MC input to match.

Musical Fidelity enhanced power supply (EPS).
When connected the EPS LED will light to

conrm that both units are ready for use.
