Pro-Ject Audio Systems Elemental Phono USB User Manual

Connection to the amplifier

The record player has a captive tonearm signal lead (9) for connection to the amplifier. Use the Phono
input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Make sure that the phono input offers
correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used. Line inputs (such as CD, Tuner, Tape or
Video) are not suitable.

Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the
left channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information. The
earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if
provided).

If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges you will require a separate phono
amplifier stage for MM or MC cartridges which is then connected between the record player and a free
line level input of the amplifier.

The recommended load impedance for the factory fitted cartridge is: 47kohms /MM-input
