Rega Aura - Rear Panel Connections; Mains Lead and Interconnect; Cartridge Selection and Loading

06
Rear panel connections
The input can be made via RCA (phono) connectors and the output via either RCA (phono) connectors or balanced XLR connectors (pin2
positive and pin3 negative). The input and output sockets are marked by colour to indicate left and right channels, White for LEFT and Red
for RIGHT. If your turntable has a separate Earth wire, rmly connect it to the terminal provided on the rear panel. N.B. Always switch both
pre and power ampliers o󰀨 before changing the leads.
Mains Lead (Supplied) - A Rega designed, fully shielded, high current capacity mains power lead is included.
High Quality Interconnect (Supplied) - A Rega designed high quality RCA (phono), unbalanced interconnect is included. It was used
throughout the design and development of the product and can be considered as a component rather than an accessory. The Rega cable is
double shielded and exhibits an extremely low capacitance o󰀨ering uniquely high levels of quality and performance.
Cartridge Selection - The Aura phono pre-amplier is not suitable for use with any moving magnet (MM) cartridges; it can only be
used with moving coil (MC) cartridges. The Aura has been designed to work with most manufacturers’ moving coil cartridges. There are
ve di󰀨erent input load and capacitance settings. Select the required load and capacitance to match to that specied by the cartridge
manufacturer.
Note: It is permissible to try di󰀨erent loading capacitance conditions as sometimes changing the resistive and capacitive loading gives a
di󰀨erent sonic performance more suited to your personal taste. Your Rega dealer will be able to give guidance to help match your specic
cartridge to the correct gain settings. It is worth noting some ‘legacy’ pre-ampliers exhibit higher resistive and capacitive loading.
