User Notes
The Pellar allows the user to optimize the phonostage to the many different cartridges available.
This is achieved using the switches easily accessible on the underside of the Pellar phono unit.
The switches are configured in left and right channel and should both have the same settings.
The switches select between the three different gain options. For a normal high output moving magnet
cartridge the switches should all set to “OFF”. When using moving coil cartridges the switch position
will depend on the cartridge output voltage and the preamp it is used with. Some experimentation will
be needed to give the best results. As a general rule the MC (high) setting is for cartridges with
outputs from 100 to 500uV and MC (low) setting for 500uV to 3mV.
For Moving Magnet
(MM) cartridges the input resistance is fixed at 47K Ohms.
Moving Coil
(MC) cartridges will usually require a much lower input resistance value and most cartridge
manufacturers give a recommended loading value for their product.
Different loading values can be applied with the use of loading plugs.
Two are supplied with a 500 Ohm value which should suit a wide range of cartridges.
Please consult your dealer for different values.
The phonostage outputs are RCA style connectors suitable for connection to your amplifier.
Red is right output and White is left output.
Channel inputs not colour coded but you should mirror the output connections.
Use the lower input RCA connections for the turntable and the upper RCA sockets for loading plugs.
If your turntable has an earth connection a binding post is provided.
