Rega Aria - Back Panel Connectivity and Setup; Setup and Input Connections; MC Loading Settings Overview

Setup
Separate inputs are used for moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. Connect your turntable’s
tonearm cable to the appropriate input sockets on the back of the Aria. If your tonearm has a separate
earth this should be rmly connected to the earth terminal shown on the rear panel in the diagram
above.
Connect the Aria to your amplier via the sockets marked Output to the appropriate line level input on
the back of your amplier. Use a high quality phono cable such as the Rega Couple 2 (not supplied).
The mains power lead (supplied) should be connected to the IEC socket on the right hand side located
above the fuse holder.
N.B. Always switch both pre and power amps off before changing any connections.
