Setting the gain
The gain can easily be adjusted on DIP switches no. 3 to 6. Please put just ONE switch to
the „on“-position. Maximum gain is obtained by putting the DIP switches no. 3 to 6 to „on“.
The following chart shows, how the gain can be set:
switch no. „ON“ all four 3 4 5 6 none
Gain: +34dB +26dB +20dB +14dB +9dB minimum
*1 *2 *3 *4
*1 = for extreme low output MC cartridges (limited)
*2 = for very low output MC cartridges
*3 = for low output MC cartridges (limited)
*4 = for MM cartridges (minimum gain)
Please set the DIP switches exactly the same for the right and the left channel (only
exception from this rule: your cartridge needs to be balanced because of different output
from the right and left channel). The gain should be set as low as possible.
2.2.3 Connecting a headset to the ASR Emitter
Every ASR Emitter can be equipped with a headset output, either on the front- or the
backpanel. Connection can be made via a gold-plated 6,3mm-socket. The headset output
can be easily chosen by switching the left control knob to the „Kh“-position or via remote
control. Two yellow LEDs indicate that the headset output is selected. The 6,3mm-plug
must not be disconnected, when the headset is not in use.
2.2.4 Connecting a second pair of speakers to the ASR Emitter
Every ASR Emitter I can be equipped with an additional speaker output. The speaker
outputs are named „A“ and „B“. Every ASR Emitter II can be equipped with up to two
additional speaker outputs. The speaker outputs are named „A“, „B“ and „C“. The
additional speaker outputs on the ASR Emitter can be either selected single („A“ or „B“, „A“
or „B“ or „C“) or together („A“ and „B“, „A“ and „B“ and „C“). The chosen mode is shown in
the display on the frontpanel. If an ASR Emitter has additional speaker outputs, it has no
longer a direct output. The speaker outputs are switched via relais then.
Connect the additional speakers according to 2.1.5.
2.2.5 Connecting the ASR Battery Power Supply
(available only for the ASR Emitter Exclusive versions)
The input stages of the ASR Emitter Exclusive versions can be supplied with an optional,
external ASR Battery Power Supply. The standard power supply/supplies should be
connected before you connect the ASR Battery Power Supply to the ASR Emitter
Exclusive (refer 2.1.6).
