Turntable, Preamp – Sutherland Insight User Manual
Page 3

CONFIGURATION
Conventional designs use inexpensive, low-quality computer rocker switches. Their de-
sign is inadequate for configuring the low-level signal from a phono cartridge. To offer
the user a wide range of configurations, while maintaining signal integrity, the Insight
uses gold-plated header pins and gold-plated shunts. They offer high-pressure and
large surface area contacts.
Each channel has two configuration headers: One to select cartridge loading and an-
other to select gain. When changing configuration, be sure to set each channel to the
same value. Options are printed directly on the circuit board next to the configuration
headers.
GAIN ADJUSTMENTS
There are five available gain
settings. Gain is set using the
supplied, gold-plated shunts.
There is a gain setting header
block for each channel. Posi-
tion the shunt to the desired
gain value. Be sure to set the
gain of each channel to the
same value.
LOADING ADJUSTMENTS
There are five available load-
ing settings. Loading is set
using the supplied, gold-plated
shunts. There is a load setting
header block for each channel.
Position the shunt to the de-
sired loading value. Be sure to
set the loading of each channel
to the same value.
CONNECTING
The symbols on the back of the Insight show signal path. The inner two RCA jacks are inputs for your
turntable. The outer two connect the Insight to your preamplifier. The post in middle is for your turn-
table’s ground wire, if it has one.
