Rega Fono Mini Phono User Manual

Fono Mini Connections
Input: Please connect the signal lead (tonearm
leads) to the input sockets labelled on the front
panel.
If the tonearm requires a separate earth please
connect the earth lead to the earth terminal
found on the back panel of the Fono Mini.
Output: Please connect the output sockets (la-
belled on the front panel) of the Fono Mini, to
a suitable input on the amplifier as listed above
using appropriate RCA leads. The Fono Mini
can also be plugged into the ‘line in’ socket on
a Personal Computer. This will allow conversion
of records from analogue to digital, using suit-
able software on your PC.
Power: Please connect the designated power supply to the power
socket situated on the front panel of the Fono Mini.
Set up is now complete, simply switch on, sit back and enjoy!
Fono Mini Phono Amplifier
The Fono Mini was designed to amplify the signal from a moving
magnet cartridge up to a level that will be suitable for all line level
inputs of an amplifier such as Aux, Tape and Tuner (not suitable for
connection to ‘Phono’ or ‘Disk’ input).
The Fono Mini phono amplifier offers exceptional performance for
its price as it uses the best quality components some of which are
usually found in Hi Fi products over twice the price.
We hope you agree that this great little product
offers outstanding value for money and will be
a valuable addition to your Hi Fi set up.
