UltraPhono™ will operate at its
best when properly installed
in a location that’s free from
magnetic fields like those
generated by equipment with
power transformers (such as
an amplifier), and within a
reasonable distance between
your turntable and audio
component(s).
INSTALLATION
Check all connections
before you plug in the
power supply
Once you’ve placed UltraPhono™
in a suitable area, connect your
turntable’s interconnects and
ground wire (if supplied) to the
phono preamp’s inputs, matching
each connector to the inputs as
shown. Attach another set of
interconnects from the phono
preamp’s outputs to the line-level
analog inputs of your amplifier or
preamplifier/processor.
Plug in the provided power
supply between the phono
preamp’s power input and a wall
outlet or line conditioner.

UltraPhono™ has been engineered
to work with a wide array of
phono cartridges on the market
today. Because phono cartridges
require special impedance
and gain settings, you should
configure UltraPhono™ to suit the
cartridge of your choice.
Out of the box, UltraPhono™
is factory set to operate with
most high-output Moving
Magnet (MM), Moving Coil (MC),
or Moving Iron (MI) phono
cartridges. If you are using a
low-output Moving Coil (MC)
cartridge, you will need to adjust
the phono preamplifier’s settings
for best results.

Locate the DIP switches, which
are found on the underside.
Each switch is arranged in a
mirror pattern for left and right
channels.
Start by selecting each DIP switch
for the recommended impedance
of your cartridge as shown in the
Input Impedance Settings chart.
Next, select the best gain setting
for your cartridge using the
Cartridge Output Settings chart
and set DIP switches accordingly.
For Moving Magnet (MM), start
with 40dB. For Moving Coil (MC),
start with 60dB. An additional
6dB can be added via DIP
switches 1 and 12.
Once you have connected cables
between UltraPhono™ and
your turntable and amplifier/
preamplifier, and completed the
setup of your impedance and gain
settings, plug in the power supply.
