CARTRIDGE SET UP
PERSONALITY CARD
Each 2008 input has two slots for personality cards, one for left, and
one for right channels. The cards serve two functions– switches to set
the electronics for the type of cartridge used at that input, and places to
solder the custom load termination resistor and capacitor.
The 2008 is shipped with all 6 cards installed in the rear panel and 4
additional spare cards.
The cards installed for inputs 1 and 2 are set to HI GAIN and MC,
and have a load resistor installed to set the input impedance to 100Ω.
These are the most commonly used settings for a MC cartridge.
The cards installed for input 3 are set to HI GAIN and MM, and
have no additional load resistor thus leaving the input impedance at
47KΩ. These are the most common settings for a MM cartridge.
WARNING: Press the POWER pushbutton until the POWER indi-
cator is off before removing or inserting the personality card. Failure to
do so might result in very loud clicks.
To remove, pull the card firmly. To insert, push the card until it
completely seats into the connector and the face is flush to the panel.
