CARTRIDGE DEMAGNETIZATION
Various moving coil cartridge manufacturers have an accessory box
used to demagnetize their particular cartridge. The Boulder 2008 Phono
Preamplifier provides a convenient way to connect your cartridge to its
demagnetizer.
WARNING: It is best to turn the volume completely down during
the demagnetization process.
To demagnetize your cartridge, make certain that the demagnetizer
used for that particular cartridge is connected to the DEMAG connec-
tors on the rear panel. Also, one or both of the switches on the person-
ality card (see pg. 2-2) for that input must be set to DEMAG OK, other-
wise the DEMAG pushbutton will not function.
Select the input connected to that cartridge by pressing its corre-
sponding pushbutton. Press the DEMAG pushbutton. This will mute
the 2008 output, the DEMAG and MUTE indicators will be red, and
your cartridge will be connected to your demagnetizer.
Now you can activate your demagnetizer as per your cartridge
manufacturer’s instructions. When the demagnetizer's cycle is com-
plete, press the DEMAG again. The DEMAG indicator will turn off, the
cartridge will be reconnected to the 2008’s input. After 3 seconds, the
MUTE indicator will turn off and the 2008 will be unmuted.
WARNING: Use of this feature is at your own risk. Boulder
