User manual

The PRE1 Phono represents a New Paradigm in phono play-

back quality standards. The way signal is handled, reconstruc-

ted and delivered is different from what is used until now. Please

refer to WADAX PRE1 PHONO white paper for further info.

For installation, please ensure that the cartridge output is

sent directly to the PRE1 PHONO, WITHOUT any step-up de-

vice in between. If done, the message ANALOG OVERLOAD

will be shown on the PRE1 display.

Once connected, please choose cartridge type with the level switch (MC/MM). In the way the PRE1

Phono operates, there is no need to do any cartridge loading adjustment, as in traditional analog equip-

ment. The last step is GAIN selection. Ideally, the gain setting should be as high as possible, without re-

ceiving ANALOG OVERLOAD message on the display. The recommendation is to start with highest gain

setting (2) and decrease it if the message appears. The gain order is 2 for top gain, 0 for middle gain

and 1 for the lowest.
