INPUTS

The MC1.1 has three inputs comprising:

BAL. - Left and Right balanced Neutrik XLR/jack combi (combining a 3 pole XLR

receptacle and ¼" phone jack in one XLR housing),

Phono - Left and Right RCA connectors plus an Earth terminal, switchable beetween

LINE and RIAA, and

AUX. - a 3.5mm stereo jack - for use with an iPod, MP3 player or smartphone.

Each input is activated by the Source switches (see )

The Phono RCA connectors are switchable between Line and RIAA, meaning you

could connect a media palyer, cd player, tuner etc. or a turntable. The MC1.1 has a

built in phono stage for use with turntables that are fitted with moving-magnet (MM)

or high output Moving Coil (MC) type cartridges - this should be connected to the

phono connectors with the switch set to ‘RIAA’.

If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the Ground terminal, above. However,

with some turntables, connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which case

it should be disconnected.

Standard low output Moving Coil cartridge types cannot be directly connected and

will require a seperate MC phono preamplifier - this should be connected to the

phono connectors but with the switch set to ‘Line’. In this case the turntable ground

wire should be connected to the seperate preamplifier.

WARNING: NEVER play a standard line-level source into the PHONO input when

set to RIAA. This could result in damage to the MC1.1, your amplifier or speakers

due to the extra gain that is applied and would not be covered under warranty.

Note that as the MC1.1 has no individual level trims level matching will need to be

controlled prior to the MC1.1.
