The inside of the device is maintenance-free, never open the housing or try to repair the device
yourself. This can also lead to loss of warranty.
If you do not operate the device for a longer period of time, we recommend disconnecting the
power supply from the mains.
Not suitable for children! Scope of delivery may contain small parts that can be swallowed.
2. Intended use
The
statement phono
is a phono preamplier to amplify the signal of the phono cartridge.
The intended use of the
statement phono
in accordance with the information provided in the user
manual only.
The power supply may only be operated with maximum permissible connection values according to
the technical data. Any other use or modication of this product is not intended.
3. Location of installation
The device should only be set up on leveled surfaces.
Avoid location with direct sunlight, temperature uctuations and high humidity. Likewise, avoid
placing electronic devices near heaters, heat lamps, or other devices that produce heat.
The device is designed for operation in heated rooms.
Never block the ventilation slots or cover the device with a cloth or similar.
No objects with an open ame may be placed on the device (burning candles or similar).

Phonostages provide a very high level of amplication, to address the fact that the electrical signal
generated by a phono cartridge is extremely low. As a result, phonostages are extremely sensitive,
which leads to the potential problem that high-frequency interference may also be amplied to
a point at which it becomes noticeable. Unfortunately it is not possible to completely protect the
sensitive phonostage circuitry from this interference without degrading its high delity performance.
Therefore care must be taken to position the phonostage away from sources of high frequency
interferences such as mobile phones, modems and powerline communication systems (PLC) in
which data is sent over the mains power network.
4. Overload
The product is designed to comply with all necessary safety regulations, however you should not
leave the device unattended under extreme loads.
5. Maintenance
Only use a soft cloth with a smooth surface for cleaning. Never use agressive cleaning detergent.
6. Health information
Permanently high volume can lead to various types of hearing damage. Use high volume responsibly!
7. Service
During the gurantee period, the
statement phono
may only be repaired by the manufacturer,
otherweise the warranty will become void.
All Clearaudio products should only be serviced by specialist retailer.
If despite the high production standard, a repair is necessary, the
statement phono
must be sent to
Clearaudio through your dealer.
8. Transport
Always us the original packaging when transporting the Clearaudio
statement phono
.
Be sure to pack the device exactly as it was shipped.
Safe transport is only guaranteed in the original packaging.
When packing, proceed in reverse as described for assembly.
9. Disposal
Do not dispose this product together with other waste.
WEEE Reg. No.: DE26004446
10. CE Marking
This electronic product corresponds to the applicable guidelines for obtaining the CE mark.

1. Packing overview
The Clearaudio
statement phono
is delivered in special packaging to ensure its safe transport.
Retain this original packaging for any future transportation. Please check the contents immediately
after unpacking:
• Clearaudio
statement phono
preamplier
• External power supply
• 1 Power cord
• 2 Connection cords
• User manual
• Warranty card
• Clearaudio quality control card
To achieve the full performance of the
statement phono
preamplier, please read the instruction and
user manual carefully.
The following pages will ensure the best performance and will help to avoid any misuse.
2. Set up
2.1. Placement of the
statement phono
The
statement phono
should be placed close to the turntable in order to use as short as possible
phono cables between the tonearm and the
statement phono
. The best connection between the
cartridge and the
statement phono
will be achieved with a direct-wired tonearm.
The
statement phono
should be placed as far away as possible from motors, transformers, power
ampliers or any other source of hum-inducing magnetic elds.
2.2 Applying Power
The external power supply contains two separated power supplies, which provide four individual
supplies to each channel. Before applying power, check the voltage indication on the external power
supply is correct for the local AC power in your country. Connect both 15-pin D-Sub-connectors to
the
statement phono
and lock with the integrated screws, then connect the AC power cord and turn
on the AC power-switches on the power-supplies.
After 3-5 seconds the “Mute LED” turns o and the signal outputs are working.
Note:
Never disconnect the D-Sub connector from the
statement phono
if the power supply is still on.
Before you disconnect the D-Sub connector from the power supply or from the
statement phono
,
make sure, that the AC Power switch is in the OFF position! Only then you can disconnect the D-Sub
connectors.

2.3 Input and Output Connections
The quality of the interconnect cables are extremely important in realizing the full sonic potential
of the Clearaudio
statement phono
. Ideally the interconnect needs to be symmetrically designed,
not coaxial.
Inputs and outputs for left and right channels are marked accordingly on the rear panel.
If you are using the unbalanced RCA-Inputs, the ‘Input Select Switch’ must be in the “Unbalanced”
position, if using the XLR connector the switch must be set to “Balanced” it valids by balance+.
By Statement are everything other.
To achieve the best high delity performance you also can connect the
statement phono
directly
to your power amplier. The automatic mute function will prevent any noise from reaching the
loudspeakers if the statement phono is turned on or o while the power ampliers are still turned
on.
2.4. Minimizing Hum
Note: You should minimize hum before listening to an LP record!
Also we recommend the use of phono cables with symmetrical design such as Clearaudio “Quint”
or “Sixstream”.
To minimize hum and other undesirable noise, if possible you should use the balanced inputs and
outputs.
Also always take care to ensure an eective ‘Ground’ connection to your turntable.
Please note:
Phonopreamplier are devices with a high signal gain, because the voltage which is supplied by
the cartridge of the turntable is very low (in the range of a few µV). For this reason high frequency
interference signals are noticeable reinforced. A complete blocking of these interference signals in
the device would degrade the audio performance.
A result could be that high frequency interference, for example from the 230 V net or 115 V AC will
aect the sound quality.
The device should therefore not operate near to high frequency generating devices such as mobile
phones or modems or electricity networks for data transport (PLC).
