Rega fono mini A2D User Instructions

Introduction
The Fono Mini A2D is designed to amplify
the signal from a moving magnet cartridge
to a suitable level for all line level inputs of
an audio amplier. The USB interface also
offers the ability to simply transfer vinyl
to PC. The Fono Mini A2D amplier offers
exceptional performance and convenience
and will be a valuable addition to any hi-fi
set up.
Input connections (1)
Connect the signal lead (tonearm leads)
to the input sockets labelled on the rear
panel. If the tonearm requires a separate
earth, please connect the earth lead to the
earth terminal located on the rear panel of
the Fono Mini A2D.
N.B. Only undo the earth screw just
enough to t your earth lead.
Output connections (2)
Connect the output sockets of the Fono
Mini A2D to a suitable ‘line level’ input
on your amplier using appropriate RCA
leads. Do not connect to an amplier’s
integrated ‘Phono’ or ‘Disk’ input.
Power connection (4)
Connect the designated power supply
to the power socket situated on the
rear panel. Power on is indicated by
illumination of the red LED (3).
Set-up is now complete. Simply switch on,
sit back and enjoy!
Connections via USB to PC
To transfer vinyl to your PC, you will need
to install a digital audio editor. Such
software is widely available as a free
download (such as Audacity). This is a
simple interface which allows monitoring
of volume and balance whilst transferring
your audio to your PC hard drive.
Audio editing software includes a level
meter which indicates the output level
achieved when playing a piece of vinyl.
You should adjust the output as necessary
via the ‘Level’ control located on the front
panel. Always take special note of record
levels to ensure optimum recording
quality.
