Connection overview – Audio Note M9 Phono User Manual
Page 8

Phono Inputs The M9 Phono is equipped with an extremely high quality, valve,
Moving Magnet (MM) phonostage. Connect the cables from your
tonearm to the ‘Phono’ socket inputs. If your Turn Table is equipped
with a separate earth wire, connect this to the dedicated grounding /
earth post, located next to the ‘Phono’ input sockets.
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.
RCA Inputs Three RCA / Single Ended line inputs are available for connection,
labeled ‘SE1 ‘SE2’, and ‘SE3’; any standard ‘line level’ source can be
connected to these inputs.
All sockets are colour coded;
RED
is for RIGHT channel connection,
WHITE is for LEFT channel connection.
XLR Input
In addition to the five RCA inputs, an XLR / Balanced input is
provided, for the connection of sources with the appropriate XLR /
Balanced outputs. Each socket is connected to a pair of extremely
high quality Audio Note (UK) Balanced input transformers, which offer
the best possible connection for correctly designed Balanced
equipment.
The sockets are marked ‘R’ for the right input and ‘L’ for the left input,
and the ‘BAL’ position on the input selector activates them.
