INPUT CONNECTING PROCEDURE
The inherent hum and noise voltages applied to the input of the Audio
Compensator are -110 DBM, or less than 3 microvolts. To avoid lowering the sig-
nal to hum ratio of the Audio Compensator, by adding hum voltages to the input,
extreme care must be taken in its installation. We offer the following recommenda-
tions as a guide to installation:
1. Connect inputs of Audio Compensator as outlined on the table below.

REMARKS
Input levels in excess
of .07V should be re-
duced by potentiometers
on back panel.
Input levels in excess
of 10 MV should be
reduced by potentiom-
eter on back panel.
See text for operation
of these channels.
The Audio Compensator and magnetic phonograph cartridges should
be mounted at least two feet from power transformers.
Inter-unit cables provide a complete ground system. Alternate
ground wires create ground loops which will usually increase hum
level.
