4. Konnessjonijiet tal-Awdjo
The Primary E Phono features a built-in phono preamplifier, allowing you to connect it directly to a line-level input on your amplifier or active speakers. It also has a switch to bypass the internal phono stage if you prefer to use an external one.
- Connect the supplied RCA audio cable from the turntable's output jacks to an available input on your amplifier (e.g., "AUX", "CD", "Line In").
- Ensure the "PHONO OUT / LINE OUT" switch on the rear of the turntable is set correctly:
- Issettja għal LINE OUT if connecting to a standard line-level input (using the internal phono stagu).
- Issettja għal PHONO OUT jekk tikkonnettja ma' amplifier with a dedicated phono input (bypassing the internal phono stagu).
