Settings
Use the dip switches at the bottom of the unit to set input gain, input capacitance and input impedance.
Please set both channels equally.
To find out which type your cartridge is please consult the literature accompanying your cartridge.
The literature for cartridges should also specify the correct input impedance (low-output MC cartridges) and
the correct input capacitance (high-output MC and MM cartridges), into which the cartridge is designed to
work. If in doubt please consult your dealer.
