Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing Evo Phono 3. You are the owner of a very high quality phono
preamplifier with many unique features designed to obtain the best performance in every
hi-fi system.
Evo Phono 3 implements a specific set of technological and functional solutions, from the
discrete components MC step-up, to the passive RIAA equalization, to the low noise
supply network that powers all stages with clean current, ease of use and reliability.

two turntables or a turntable provided with two arms.
The gain is enough to accommodate every cartridge model and to drive every amplifier.

1. Unpacking and Placing the Unit
Lay the package on a table. Open the box by lifting the front wing. The following items are
included:
one Evo Phono 3;
one wall wart (AC-to-DC adapter);
one remote control;
two AAA type batteries.
Should one or more item be missing, please contact your retail dealer.
Remove the Evo Phono 3 from the box and place it onto a stable base, far from heat
sources. Avoid full sunlight on the unit. Allow for ample room around the unit for venting.
The Evo Phono 3 is a high efficiency device; therefore it doesn’t produce relevant heat
during its operation. Regardless, it’s recommended to guarantee an adequate air flow
around the unit. Moreover, every time it will mainly be operated by remote control, it’s
recommended to place it so as the remote control’s infrared signals can easily reach its
front panel.
Avoid smoke, moisture, dirt and liquids from reaching the unit. Please note that any signs
of abuse will void warranty coverage.
Do not place the unit on thick carpets or inside a box or piece of furniture, not even close
to curtains.

1) IR receiver. Aim the remote control to this point to send commands to the Evo Phono 3.
2) Power on/power off/Input select button. Press this button to switch the Evo Phono 3
on when it’s off. When the Evo Phono 3 is on, a short press will change the selected input.
A more prolonged press while the Evo Phono 3 is on will cause it to switch off.
) MC step-up gain. These LED’s indicate the gain in dB applied to the MC step-up. This
gain adds to the MM stage gain and it’s only relevant when the MC input is selected.
4) Input and subsonic filter LED’s. Indicate the selected input and whether or not the
high-pass 16Hz subsonic filter is enabled. The 16Hz LED also indicates the stand-by
status when it’s the only one on.
5) MM gain. These LED’s indicate the selected MM stage gain. As the signal always
passes through the MM stage no matter the selected input, this value is always relevant.
When the MC input is selected, the total gain is the sum of the MM gain and the MC gain.
6) MM input capacitive load. The MM input can be loaded with a capacitive load to
optimize the matching with certain MM cartridges. These LED’s indicate the chosen load..
7) MM gain select / MM subsonic button. Use this button to set the gain of the MM stage
(short press) and to toggle the 16Hz subsonic filter for the MM input (long press). Push this
button together with the MC gain select button to set the MM input capacitive load.
