Connecting your turntable
For the following steps, your amplier should be powered off or muted and the MM 008’s power supply
should be disconnected.
1. Connect earth wire
If your tonearm has a separate earth wire for shielding
purposes, connect it to the earth binding post (1) on the
rear panel of the MM 008.
2. Connect RCA cables
For use with MM or high-level MC cartridges:
Make sure the MM/MC selector switch (2) is in the MM
(outer) position.
Plug the leads from your turntable’s cartridge to the MM
input sockets (5) on the back of the MM 008: the right
channel (red) cable into the right input and the left channel (white) into the left input.
For use with MC cartridges:
Make sure the MM/MC selector switch (2) is in the MC
(inner) position.
Checking the manufacturer’s specifications of your phono cartridge, choose which value of RCA loading resistance is most suitable. The MM 008 comes with three
pairs of RCA loading plugs which are to be connected
to the “MC LOAD” sockets (3) on the rear panel. Two
RCA loading plugs of the same value must be fitted,
one per channel. The default MC loading resistance is
47 kΩ with no RCA plugs inserted; if the cartridge manufacturer recommends a different load, you can choose
between 10 Ω, 100 Ω and 1 kΩ with the RCA loading
plugs provided. Please note that these plugs only refer
to the MC inputs, not the MM inputs, which have a fixed
internal load resistance of 47 kΩ.
Plug the leads from your turntable’s cartridge to the MC
input sockets (4) on the back of the MM 008: the right
channel (red) cable into the right input and the left channel (white) into the left input.

Connecting your amplier
Use high-quality RCA interconnect cables to connect
the MM 008 to an auxiliary line-level input on your amplifier (Aux, Tape in, CD, Tuner, etc.).
Ensure that the right channel output is connected to the
right channel input on your amplifier, and the left channel output is connected to the left channel input on your
amplifier.
If your amplier is already equipped with a phono
stage and you are upgrading your system with the
MM 008, do not connect the output of the MM 008
to the phono input: it is intended for connection to a
turntable’s cartridge output only, not to a line level
output such as that of the MM 008.

Important:
Do not change the position of the MM/MC selector switch, connect or disconnect cables from the
cartridge or connect or disconnect the MC loading
plugs while the MM 008 is connected to the input of
a preamplier or amplier and switched on as this
can cause a loud abrupt noise in the loudspeakers with possible damage to the drive units. Always
lower or mute the amplier’s volume, or switch it off
entirely before making any connections.
Connecting the power adapter
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF (outer) position and the power adaptor is not connected to a mains
socket.
Connect the Thorens power supply cable to the power
socket on the rear panel (7).
After choosing and installing the correct snap-in mains
plug for your country, connect the power adaptor to a
live mains socket and engage the power button on the
rear panel (6).
Always use the supplied mains power adaptor or an
original Thorens spare part!
If you prefer, the MM 008 can be left powered on
thanks to its very low power consumption levels. If
you plan to leave it unused for a prolonged period
of time, we suggest disconnecting the power adaptor
from the mains socket.
The MM 008 is now ready for use. Switch on or un-mute
your amplifier and enjoy your favourite music!
