There are no controls on the front, just a LED.
When the light is on, it’s on. Flip Mani over and
you’ll see a bunch of switches.
1 Gain Switches. These have been set in
Gain 1 = L, and Gain 2 = H, which offers 42dB of
gain for most moving magnet (MM) cartridges.
Other gain modes include:
Gain 1 and Gain 2 both L: 30dB of gain
Gain 1 = H, Gain 2 = L: 48dB of gain
Gain 1 and Gain 2 both H: 59dB of gain
2 Load Switches: Use 47 for moving coil (MC), or
47K for MM cartridges. Unknown cartridge? Try
47 rst. If your sound fades to almost nothing, set
it back to 47K.
If the sound is distorted, one or more of the gain
stages is overloading. Switch them to “L” until the
distortion goes away. Set both switches in the
same position (L, H, or 47, 47K.)
