CARTRIDGE LOADING J1 and J2 and VR1-VR2 set the cartridge loading.Moving magnet cartridges will
typically be best matched by the 47k Ohm setting.The ideal load for a moving coil cartridge is typically
indicated in the product specications.There are two options for loading moving coil cartridges: 100
Ohms and 0-500 Ohm variable.If you do not know the recommended load for your cartridge, 100 Ohms is
a good place to start. If you know the recommended load then you can use the adjustable setting.
To adjust the cartridge loading to your specied value, connect an Ohm meter to the Left channel RCA
input jack on the rear panel of the m905. Then, using a small screwdriver, turn VR1 until the desired resis-
tance is reached.Repeat for the Right channel by turning VR2.
GAIN J3 and J4 set the preamplier gain.Use the low gain setting for most moving magnet (MM) car-
tridges.These cartridges will typically have an output voltage of 3-10mV RMS. For low output moving coil
(MC) cartridges use the high gain setting.
SUBSONIC FILTER J5 and J6 enable the12Hz subsonic lter.This is a rst order (6dB/octave) high pass lter
for reducing very low frequency information.This is typically turntable rumble and low frequency excur-
sion caused by warped records.Use this to protect the woofers in your speaker system from unnecessary
excursion.
