CONNECTIONS

FOR THE BEST RESULTS

We strongly recommend that you use the FX2 power amplifier manufactured by

Musical Fidelity.

Thi

s is designed for perfect electrical and sonic compatibility with the F2. When

paired

，

they produce truly extraordinary results which afford an unprecedented level

of musical communication

，

articulation and dynamics.

One ofthe design aims of the F2 was that it should be relatively insensitive to the

effects of interconnect cables. Although it is important that you use low impedance ，

low capacitance cables

，

the exact make and model are not too importan

Similarly

，

lot of fuss is made about different types of plugs and sockets; once again

，

the F2 is

very insensitive to these differences

A large amount of time

，

effort

，

money and energy has been expended to ensure

that your F2 will produce optimal results with almost any cables or connectors. We

hope that this makes your installation and listening easier and more enjoyable.

CONNECTIONS

All connections should be made with the power OFF.

The F2 has 6 inputs

，

Phono Aux

，

CDV

，

Tuner and two Tape decks.

The F2 has separate Source and Output to Tape 2 selector knobs. This is a very

flexible arrangement which allows you to listen to one source whilst recording an-

othe

The source selector is used to select which input you wish to listen to

，

this

source will also be sent to the Tape

outputs for recording on Tape

The Output to

Tape 2 selector operates independently and selects which source is sent to the Tape 2

record outputs only. If you have only one tape deck it is suggested that you connect

this to Tape 2 so that you can control which source you wish to record separately from

the source you wish to listen to.

THE PHONO AUX INPUT

The first input of the F2 is an Auxiliary Line inpu

Optionally this can be fitted

with an MM Phono adaptor

，

please contact your dealer for further details.
