Page 8

Phono input The M2 Phono is equipped with a high quality, valve, Moving Magnet
(MM) phonostage. Connect the cables from your tonearm to the
ʻPhonoʼ socket inputs. If your Turntable is equipped with a separate
earth wire, connect this to the dedicated grounding / earth post,
located next to the ʻFeedbackʼ switches.
If you wish to use a low output Moving Coil (MC) cartridge,
Audio Note (UK) manufactures a series of Step Up Transformers for
this purpose. For further information, please contact your Audio Note
(UK) Dealer, or alternatively please contact us direct.
Line inputs Three line inputs are available labeled CD, Tuner and Aux. Any
standard ʻline levelʼ source can be connected to these inputs.
Connect the ʻRec-Outʼ or ʻLine Outʼ sockets on your recording device
to the ʻTape Inʼ sockets of the M2 Phono, and the ʻTape Outʼ sockets
to the ʻRec-Inʼ or ʻLine Inʼ sockets of your recording device.
Ground Post A ground post is provided for connection to those source components
that also use a separate ground terminal.
Mains
The M2 Phono Pre Amplifier utilizes an IEC 320 mains inlet socket.
Use the supplied mains cable to connect the unit to the local mains
supply. The mains fuse and a spare is located in the inlet socket fuse
drawer.
Special Note – Make sure that all connections are tight and clean. For
best results use good quality audio interconnects. Although it is
perfectly acceptable to use cables manufactured by other companies,
for best results and performance, we recommend our own Audio Note
(UK) range of interconnects and loudspeaker cables. For further
information, please consult your nearest Audio Note (UK) dealer, or
alternatively please feel free to contact us directly.
Outputs
The M2 Phono provides two unbalanced outputs, consisting of two
pairs of colour coded RCA / Single Ended sockets.
RED

channel connection, WHITE is for LEFT channel connection.
RCA
The two pairs of RCA / Single Ended outputs are for connection to a
power amplifier and are identical, making them suitable for bi-amping.
