Product Information:

Setting gain and load impedance/capacitance:

The clearaudio Balanced Reference Phonostage provides adjustable total gain from 30 dB to 63 dB in
3 dB steps with a rotary switch. With a push button switch at the rear panel you also can reduce the gain to 20 dB, for example, when you are using a MM-Cartridge (a MM-Cartridge supplies approx. 20dB more output voltage as a MC-Cartridge). Factory-made the input impedance/capacity is set to 47 kOhms/100 pF for MM-Cartridges, but you can set the input impedance for any cartridge, by usingthe 5-pin binder-connector or the socket R101 on the circuit board of both channels. If you use the binder connector for your tonearm, then take socket R101 to set the input impedance. For theinput capacitance is socket C101 on the circuit board, if you need an other capacitance, you have to change the condenser at both channels.
