Preface Packaging Please take the time to carefully read this instruction manual prior to installation or use of your Reference Phono 2 SE phono preamplifier. Because it is a highly advanced electronic instrument, there are several facts and procedures you should know before you place it in operation.
The display will indicate the currently selected load resistance for each input setting. It is suggested that you select the loading value nearest the cartridge manufacturers loading recommendation to begin with and then listen to alternate loading if desired. Because all Reference Phono 2 SE front panel functions are duplicated on the remote, you may listen to loading sonic changes from the listening position by selecting different loads via their individual buttons on the remote.
Operating/Start-up Procedure 1.Secure connections between turntable, Reference Phono 2 SE, and line stage preamplifier. Note: Given the advanced performance capabilities of the Reference Phono 2 SE, it is extremely important that high-quality interconnects be used for connection to ancillary electronics. 2.Plug 3-prong power cord into a grounded AC wall receptacle. 3.Turn Power switch ‘on’.
