Mark Levinson DUAL MONAURAL PREAMPLIFIER N26 - Manual (Page 14)

8
The high-gain and low-gain phono options offer internally selectable
cartridge loading via two four-pole miniature rocker switches, one for
each channel. The high-gain and low-gain options have been factory-
adjusted at 825
Ω
and 47K
Ω
, respectively.
If you wish to change the factory-adjusted cartridge loading, see
"Making the internal adjustments;" refer to the table below for the
proper switch positions for each load setting.

Resistance values other than those listed above can be
accommodated via the optional load terminals. Load resistors can be
inserted into these terminals, allowing virtually any load desired.

See "Making the internal adjustments;" refer to the "Cartridge loading
settings" tables for the proper switch positions for the optional load.
Because the inherent input resistance (all switches off) is in parallel with
the optional load terminals, use this formula to calculate the actual
resistor needed:
R = 1/ (1/RD - X)
RD = Desired resistance in ohms
X = 0.00002 for Low-gain Phono Option,
0.0001 for High-gain Phono Option
Note: We recommend precision metal-film resistors; see your
Mark Levinson dealer.
