Thank you for purchasing the Constellation Audio Perseus phono preamplifier. We
designed the Perseus to achieve greater fidelity and greater flexibility than any other
phono preamp—and to elevate your vinyl playback system to a level you didn’t think
possible.

The Perseus employs circuitry and controls unlike those found in any other phono
preamp. Thus, setting it up requires a few steps not normally needed with
conventional phono pres. By taking a few minutes to read this manual before you
operate the Perseus, you will be assured of getting maximum performance from this
component.
