CONNECTING TO A TURNTABLE
Balanced inputs are provided for con-
necting up to three turntables to the 2008.
To avoid hum pickup in the cabling, it is
important to follow these instructions.
Do not connect pin 1 (chassis/ground)
to either pin 2 or 3 at any point in the
cable, turntable chassis, or tonearm. Pins 2
and 3 must only connect directly to the
cartridge pins. This can be accomplished
by several wiring schemes shown on the
next page.
Do not
use the Boulder ABL2 input
adapter or other “standard” RCA Phono to XLR adapter because they
connect pin 1 to pin 3. These are intended only for line level use.
Use either
a connection from pin 1 to the turntable chassis or a wire
from the CHASSIS screw terminal to the turntable chassis. Using both
might form a ground loop which will create hum.
One pair of Boulder PHRCA Adapters are provided. These will
convert 2008 inputs to RCA and give acceptable performance. A sepa-
rate ground wire is provided. However, obtaining a dedicated cable
with a connector specifically for your tonearm and with 3-pin connec-
tors is preferred.
