TECHNICAL INFO & OPTIONS

OPERATING CONDITIONS

Once the PH-1 has been correctly wired and positioned on a solid shelf it is ready to play.

The PH-1 has been designed for use in Hi-Fi systems in sheltered locations. It ought therefore to be protected from any

eventual variations in temperature and humidity. Avoid to use the unit close to radiators or other strong heat sources,

electrical and electronic motors, switched on mobile phones etc.

The location in proximity of other audio components is not theoretically critical, but you should nevertheless pay attention to

this.

In any case, take care to unplug completely the unit every time you need to move it, or to move the turntable on which it is

matched.

PH-1 GAIN & LOAD

The PH-1 should be purchased set up already as per user needs concerning both Gain and Load.

It is anyway possible vary the PH-1 Gain from MM to MC.

It is also possible vary the load impedance on this unit.

Because to do that is necessary to remove the cover of the unit we suggest to contact the local Gold Note® distributor to avoid

of warranty invalidity.

Once the cover is removed it is possible to access the DIP SWITCH with 4 Micro-Switches underneath two black Chokes.

The Micro-Switches 1 & 4 can vary the Gain of the unit: setting the Micro-Switches towards the NUMBERS SIDE the PH-1

operates in MM mode; while setting the Micro-Switches towards the ON SIDE the PH-1 operates in MC mode.

The Micro-Switches 2 & 3 are able to vary the load impedance of the unit: with the Micro-Switches towards the NUMBERS SIDE

the PH-1 operates with a x 47K

(right for all MM cartridges); with Micro-Switches towards the ON SIDE the PH-1 operates

with a 470

(default) or changing the resistors (optional) with the unit with a specic load as requested by the user

SPEAKER HUMMING

PROBLEMS

The speakers hum

when the Phono

Stage is connected to

the system

The Phono Stage is very

SENSITIVE to house environment

positions.

Be sure the position chosen is

compatible with the Phono Stage.

Try to plug or to unplug the ground

connector always nding the best

solution of your audio system.

The Electrical loops created by the

ground connection needs to be tried.

The “open” input of the Phono Stage

may strongly hum. Always connect the

Input Interconnect to test the Phono

Stage.

Any phono stage designed to achieve

good sonic performances hums a bit

when the volume of the amplifier is

high. That is normal and strongly

noticeable especially without music

and with MC gain unit selection.

Install them well. Eventually a tone

arm cable problem can occur; please

check other ways out

Be sure to always use shielded cables

for Phono Stage connections.

Connect it being sure that the AC wall

plug works

Connect them properly

Substitute the fuse with one of the

same value.

Be sure you selected the right Input

of the amplifier

The Ground connector is not

plugged.

The Phono stage Input

Interconnect are not plugged.

The listening volume is very

high.

The tone arm and cartridge are

not properly installed

The interconnect input and/or

output cables are not shielded.
