INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Pro-Ject Phono Box RS

Dear music lover,

thank you for purchasing a PRO-JECT AUDIO phono amplifier.

In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability you should study these instructions for use carefully.

Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse.

Important notice.

To switch on from standby or to standby

The switch on the left hand side of the front panel turns the unit on or back into standby. The blue LED above

the stand-by switch shows that the unit is switched on.

Mute

ON/MUTE activates and deactivates mute

Selecting the de-emphasis curve

RIAA /DECCA selects the desired mode

Settings

Use the dip switches, the switch RCA /XLR at the back of the unit and the rotary control at the front to set

input gain, input capacitance and input impedance. Please set both channels equally.

To alter settings MUTE must be engaged. Input impedance setting (variable) can be done while

listening.

Examples of typical settings

Ortofon 2M Red (MM) - input gain 40dB, input capacitance 200pF, input impedance 47kohms

Ortofon X1-MC (high-output MC) - input gain 50dB, input capacitance 420pF, input impedance 47kohms

Ortofon Rondo Red (low-output MC) - input gain 60dB, input capacitance *, input impedance 10ohms

Input / output connectors, input gain

RCA /XLR select the connectors to be used. Input gain for RCA can be set to 60, 50 or 40dB. The possible

settings for XLR are 66, 56 and 46dB.

To find out which type your cartridge is, please consult the literature accompanying your cartridge.

The literature for cartridges should also specify the correct input impedance (low-output MC

cartridges) and the correct input capacitance (high-output MC and MM cartridges), into which the

cartridge is designed to work. If in doubt please consult your dealer.

Make all connections whilst the phono amplifier is disconnected from the power supply.

Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the

left channel black or white.

Do not connect the phono amplifiers output to a phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA)

on the amplifier.

Never use any other power supply than the one supplied with the unit.

Selecting input / output connectors

RCA/XLR select the connectors to be used

Subsonic Filter

Subsonic Filter ON/OFF activates and deactivates the filter

Connecting the record player

Connect the tonearm signal lead to the Input of the phono amplifier. The earthing wire may be connected to

the screw terminal if you encounter hum problems when using the record player.

Connection to the amplifier

Connect the Output of the phono amplifier to a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your

amplifier.

Mains power connection

The phono amplifier is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label

before connecting to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house. Connect the low voltage plug

from the power supply to the Power 2x18V "socket of the phono amplifier before connecting the power

supply to the mains.
