The Earth / Grounding Concept

General GROUND-LIFT Jumper (accessible from the inside.
Mind the SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS !! ):

Ex-works this jumper is set to the LIFT position.
The internal ground potential is “lifted” by means of this jumper.
As a result, the interconnection for DC voltages and lower frequencies
(< 150 Hz) will be cut. Higher frequencies will be bled off to earth
potential through the RC filter. The LIFT position is helpful in case of
hum or jitter caused by different ground/earth potentials.
Of coarse full electrical protection is garanteed as the case is always
connected to ground/earth potential!
See also: page 20 / 26, Technical Appendix.

8

Unfortunately there is no general recommendation how to solve hum
and jitter problems - or even minimize them. The best way to succeed is
to check different options !! In case of balanced cables, it should always
been verified if the shield of the cable is connected to the shell of the
XLR connector. The shell is ALWAYS connected to earth potential when
the connector is inserted !!

Concerning ANALOG inputs and outputs, the relationship between
ground and earth may be modified. Electrical safety is always ensured,
since the earth conductor is permanently connected to the enclosure !!

XLR GROUD-LIFT Jumper (accessible from the inside.
Mind the SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS !! ):

G(ROUND): Ex-works all jumpers are set to "G" (ground) position.

Pin 1 is connected to the internal ground reference.
High frequency interference is deflected to the case via a
100 nF capacitor.

L(IFT): The interconnection between Pin 1 and ground is open.

High frequency interference is deflected to the case via a
100 nF capacitor. This jumper position is specifically
useful if the unit is equipped with transformers !!

C(ASE): Pin 1 is connected to the case, the 100 nF capacitor is

bridged. This jumper position may be varied together with
the General GROUND-LIFT jumper.

See also: page 20 / 26, Technical Appendix.

Please note that with jumpers not in the ex-works position

EMC emission might occur,

for which the user is responsible only !

THE CASE

The PPA V600's case as well as the front/rear panels are made of solid
aluminium. This choice of material ensures high mechanical stability and
resistance.

EARTH AND GROUND

The PPA V600's case is grounded. Internal reference ground is bridged
to protective earth by means of a jumper. The jumper is set to the 'LIFT'

position (see also: page 7 "Earth/Ground concept" and pages 20/26
"Technical Appendix").

POWER SUPPLY

Mains power is provided via a three-pin IEC/CEE socket and mating
"cold-appliance" mains cord with Schuko-type plug. Because of the
employed multi-mode switch-mode supply the actual AC voltage may
vary between 90 and 250 volts AC for flawless operation.
The US and Japan version comes with a US style mains cord.
Bith switch-mode supplies will output 24 V DC. External filters will cut
any high frequency glitches. Line regulators form the internal operating
voltages of +/-18 V.

MAINS FUSE

The 0.25A time-lag fuse is soldered in place on the circuit board. In
case, it must be replaced with a fuse of the same type only.

CAUTION !!

MIND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

A blown fuse indicates an internal fault and

should be replaced during qualified repair or

servicing only !!

THE BALANCED SIGNAL INPUT

For the connection of balanced signals a gold-plated 5-pin XLR socket
is located in the 'cartridge input' section on the rear of the unit, denoted
as 'BAL'.

5-pin XLR Pin-Out:
PIN 1 Left (+) PHASE

PIN 2 Left (-) PHASE
PIN 3 Ground
PIN 4 Right (-) PHASE
PIN 5 Right (+) PHASE

THE UNBALANCED INPUTS

Or the connection of unbalanced signals two gold-plated cinch sockets
are located in the 'cartridge input' section, denoted as 'UNBAL L' and
'UNBAL R'.

INPUT SELECTION

The cinch inputs sockets are activated ex-works.
In order to utilize the balanced inputs, the unit must be opened and the
two related jumpers set from 'U' (unbalanced) to 'B' (balanced).

See also: technical appendix page 20 / 26.

OPERATION

The following controls and displays are located on the front panel:

POWER SWITCH

The unit is turned on by means of the power switch. The blue LED
beneath the switch indicates that the unit is ready for operation.

GAIN SWITCH

The gain switch on the front panel allows easy signal gain control,
offering six possible settings: 30 / 36 / 42 / 48 / 54 and 60 dB. Gain is
set for both channels individually by means of a precision resistor array,
thus offering highly accurate stereo matching at lowest crosstalk.
Settings of 30...42 dB are usually suited for MM systems, while 48...60
dB are intended for the use with MC pickups. So-called 'high output MC'
systems are best operated at 42...48 dB gain.
As noise level rises proportional to gain, it is always recommended to
choose the lowest practical gain setting !

BALANCE CONTROL

By technical means, pickup systems usually don't present exact channel
balance, and even sophisticated systems can exhibit a channel
matching error of 1...2 dB. This can lead to a shifted stereo image

14

which, however, can easily be compensated by the balance control, with
an adjustment range of +/-2 dB and a detented centre position.
In order to maintain minimum crosstalk, balance is set by means of fine
adjustment of the right channel, instead of a conventional balance pot
as found on other devices.

AMPLIFIERS / INTERNAL SETTINGS

The low input signals are fed to a so-called instrumentation amplifier,
originally intended for the use with professional microphones. This
allows extremely low-noise amplification vastly superior to any other
design, while offering an internal bandwidth of >200 kHz even at 60 dB
gain.
Susceptibility to hum as induced by low-frequency equalization and
interference to the cable between turntable and input can be
significantly reduced by balanced coupling between the pickup system
and the amplifier, using balanced cabling.
In order to precisely match with any pickup model, 9 input impedance
and 16 input capacitance settings can be selected by DIP switches
inside the unit.
While the RIAA equalization curve is the most commonly used, the PPA
V600 can also be switched to NAB, BBC or FLAT curve. In addition, it
provides a 20Hz IEC high-pass filter, which can be inserted in the signal
path by DIP switches. All the filters are passive designs, using high­quality and non-ageing MKP capacitors. By means of eight reference
points, the RIAA curve is precisely maintained with an accuracy of 0,05
dB.
Channel circuits are completely separate, in order to obtain optimum

crosstalk rejection.

15

INPUT IMPEDANCE

Input impedance can be precisely matched to the respective MC
(moving-coil) system by means of switchable input impedance. The
value matching best can either be read in the pickup's technical
specifications, or optimized by further recommendations and listening
tests.
Settings comprise 10, 90, 100, 130, 150, 250, 330, 1k and 47k ohms,
whereas 47k is recommended for MM (moving magnet) systems. The
unit's case must be opened to change this setting.

See also: technical appendix, pages 20 / 26.

The DIP-switches marked with “MC” may be set as follows:

Note: Setting ex works is 47kOhm

16

INPUT CAPACITANCE

Input capacitance can be precisely matched to the respective MM
(moving magnet) system by means of switchable input capacitance. The
value matching best can either be read in the pickup's technical
specifications, or optimized by further recommendations and listening
tests.
Settings comprise 33, 66, 110, 150, 180, 210, 260, 300, 330, 370, 410,
450, 480, 520, 560 and 600 pF.

Input impedance for MM systems should be set to 47k ohms !

The unit's case must be opened to change this setting.

The DIP-switches marked with “MM” may be set as follows:

Note: Setting ex works is 33 pF

17

EQUALIZATION CURVES

18

EQUALIZATION CURVES

Due to technical considerations, the signal stored on vinyl records has
been equalized during manufacture, i.e. low frequencies are reduced
and high frequencies are boosted. Upon playback in turn, an equalizer
as accurate as possible is employed in order to re-linearize frequency
response. There were several dozens of equalization curves in record
history, but fortunately the so-called RIAA curve (Recording Industry
Association of America) has established itself as the most common
standard. Nevertheless, one may encounter records manufactured
using NAB (National Association of Broadcasters), BBC (British Broad­casting Corporation) or FLAT (no treble EQ) equalization curves, which
the V600 can easily cope with by means of its switching capabilities.
Furthermore, a 20 Hz highpass or 'rumble' filter according to IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission) can be switched into circuit.

See also: technical appendix, pages 20 / 26.

Note: Setting ex works is RIAA

19

THE UNBALANCED OUTPUTS

The unbalanced output signal is available at gold-plated cinch sockets
on the rear panel. They are denoted as 'UNBAL L' for the left channel,
and 'UNBAL R' for the right one respectively.
Output impedance is significantly less than 1 ohm !

THE BALANCED OUTPUTS

The balanced output signal is available at gold-plated XLR connectors
on the rear panel. They are denoted as 'BAL L' for the left channel, and
'BAL R' for the right channel respectively.
Output impedance is significantly less than 1 ohm !
Output polarity complies with AES 14-1992:
1 = ground / 2 = in phase / 3 = out of phase.

NOTE:

When connecting unbalanced loads to the balanced outputs, pin 3 must
not be bridged to signal ground but left unconnected. Output signal level
drops by 6 dB in this mode.

NOTE:

Unbalanced and balanced outputs shall not be used simultaneously, as
the output driver feeds both the cinch socket and the in-phase pin of the
balanced output at the same time.

20

OPENING THE UNIT

In order to change any DIP switch or jumper settings inside the PPA
V600, its case must be opened. For this purpose, a TORX screwdriver
T10 is required, and you should - by all means -

5. reassemble the unit in reverse order.

Things to know…

Why are turntables susceptible to hum ?

Most turntables are connected unbalanced via cinch leads. Unfortunately
indeed, since a balanced connection would be hum-free in practice and much
more advisable in technical terms. Common pickup systems usually represent a
perfect dipole, and thus the advantages of balanced signal connection could
easily be made use of.
Moreover, vinyl recordings are being equalized during the production process,
i.e. low frequencies are reduced and high frequencies boosted. During playback,
the equalizing preamplifier inverts this process, thus enhancing not only the low
frequency range, but also any hum interference to the signal lead.
When connecting the pickup in balanced mode, hum interference as would be
unavoidable with unbalanced leads is significantly reduced.

21

The PPA V600 offers both balanced and unbalanced inputs.

What's the advantage of a balanced signal ?

In contrast to unbalanced signals, balanced signals are transmitted via two wires
plus ground connection. A balanced signal is accomplished by inverting the
original source signal at unaltered level. One wire carries the original, unaltered
signal (a), the second wire the inverted signal (-a).
At the receiving input, the signal is fed to a differential amplifier which 'sees' the
difference between a and -a only, at a resulting level of 2*a.
On a signal path between devices, interferences (s) may try to disturb the signal
by entering the connecting line, but being in-phase with respect to both signal
wires. The differential input again sees the difference between interferences on
both wires only. Thus - after the rule (s) - (s) = 0 - they are eliminated almost
completely.

The PPA V600 uses instrumentation amplifiers.

Why did we choose instrumentation amplifiers ?

Like mentioned earlier, the balanced signals are fed to special instrumentation
amplifiers with differential inputs, which were originally intended for the use with
microphones. However, the difference between dynamic microphones and
pickup systems isn't as big as one might assume: By means of wire coils and
magnetism, they both deliver very low signal voltage at quite similar impedance.
During design, we discovered that this breed of instrumentation amplifiers is
ideally suited for turntable pickups as well.

The PPA V600 has a gain control on the front panel

Why is an easily accessible gain control useful ?

A further advantage of instrumentation amplifiers is that gain can be adjusted by
rather simple measures. Furthermore, gain control can be achieved without any
significant change in bandwidth, as faced with (multi-stage) operational
amplifiers. Thus, bandwidth still exceeds 200kHz at a gain setting of remarkable
60dB, equalling a level ratio of 1:1000 !
By means of the front gain controls, the PPA V600 can easily be adjusted even
for less known pickup models without hassle. Adjustment is provided for both
channels individually, in order not to impair crosstalk rejection. At the same time,
precision resistors ensure perfect stereo matching at 0.25 dB tolerance.

The PPA V600 offers balance control on the front panel

Why is easily accessible balance control important ?

22

Even high-end pickup systems may exhibit a channel level aberration of up to 3
dB. This value represents the loudness difference between channels, resulting
to a shifted stereo image - or centre position - during playback. The fine­resolution balance control allows shifting of the perceived centre position to
where it actually should be, of course with a detented neutral position.
In order not to impair crosstalk rejection, balance control is achieved by fine
adjustment of the right channel only.
The same circuitry section is mirrored in the left channel, but without the
adjustment feature. Thus, not the faintest difference between channels in terms
of transit time, phase correlation, distortion and frequency response will be
found.

The PPA V600 offers variable input impedance

What are the advantages of variable input impedance ?

Considered its extremely low output voltage, the performance of a moving-coil
(MC) pickup system is much influenced by the amplifier's input impedance. The
PPA V600 provides eight different impedance settings, while the ninth (47k) is
the standard setting for moving-magnet (MM) systems.
The optimum setting is to be read from the pickup's specification sheet in the
first place, but may also be refined by further recommendations or listening
tests.

The PPA V600 offers variable input capacitance

What are the advantages of variable input capacitance ?

Moving-magnet (MM) pickups with their typically high impedance are much
subject to influence by the amplifier's input capacitance. For this purpose, the
PPA V600 offers 16 individual input capacitance settings.
The optimum setting is to be read from the pickup's specification sheet in the
first place, but may also be refined by further recommendations or listening
tests.

The PPA V600 offers various equalization curves

What makes selectable equalization curves practical ?

For technical reasons, vinyl records are manufactured with an equalized
frequency response, i.e. low frequencies are reduced and high frequencies are
boosted. During playback, the preamplifier must invert this equalization in order
to obtain the original frequency response of the contents.

23

For this purpose, the equalization curve applied during record manufacture must
be known. Quite a number of equalization curves were used over the decades
however, among which the 'RIAA' curve became the most widespread - named
after the Recording Industry Association of America.
Other equalization curves one may encounter are 'NAB' (National Association of
Broadcasters) or 'BBC' (British Broadcasting Corporation), which can also be
properly handled by the PPA V600 when set accordingly.
Both these curves have effect on treble reproduction, just like the 'FLAT' curve
which does not imply high-frequency equalization at all.
Furthermore, a 20 Hz high-pass or 'rumble' filter according to IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) can be switched into circuit.

See also: diagram on page 17 !

The PPA V600 offers individual signal paths

Why are individual signal paths so favourable ?

Most operational amplifiers are designed as two amplifiers integrated in a single
package. If the left and right channel signal are processed by the circuit at the
same time, a certain mutual interference is inevitable. The adverse effects may
be marginal only, but should be excluded during the design process wherever
feasible.

The PPA V600 contains numerous operational amplifiers

Why are operational amplifiers ideal for small-signal processing ?

High-end audio gear often follows a 'discrete' design, meaning that the amplifier
stages are composed of single transistors. This feature is often presented as an
optimizing measure, but finally the related high manufacturing effort is to be paid
by the customer.
Certainly an operational amplifier is made of transistors as well. Its design
however offers the advantage of thermal coupling of its individual components,
and ageing issues play a negligible role.
Since the choice of OP-amps on the market is huge, an ideal model for any
special application can be found.

The PPA V600 is powered by switching-mode power supplies

Why are switching-mode power supplies ideal for phono preamps ?

An equalizing preamp boosts low frequencies and therefore does right the same
with hum interference radiated by a mains transformer. Thus, conventional
transformers are 'audible' in many cases, sadly...

24

One possible solution would be the use of a remote power supply, which of
course means additional costs for the customer due to an extra device and
cabling.
As an equalizer preamp consumes little power at quite constant current, and
short ways between current source and load generally make sense in terms of
voltage decoupling, a switching-mode power supply is the most intelligent
solution here.
The PPA V600 contains two thereof, i.e. one for each positive and negative
voltage supply. They both provide 24 volts, which are then reduced to well­backed +/- 18 volts by linear regulators. Switching frequency ranges well
beyond 100kHz, and highly sophisticated filtering between the raw-voltage
supply and linear regulation avoids any switching-frequency leakage into the
signal section.
