Moving Coil Cartridges:’ The KSP-7B is shipped with the phono section gain
set for moving coil cartridges and a load of 800 ohms. The load can be
changed with a set of internal switches. To access these the top cover must
be removed with the supplied allen driver. At the left-rear of the unit there
is a two-position toggle switch. In the factory-supplied position the switch
lever is towards the rear panel of the unit. If you are using a moving coil
cartridge do not change the switch position. To adjust the input impedance
load for different moving coils use the table below to find the optimum
setting for your cartridge. Follow your dealer’s or the manufacturer’s
~recommendations first. You can also set the load using your sonic
preferences as a guide. In general, lowering the impedance will make the
high frequencies less prominent and the overall sound warmer. Higher
loads make the overall sound more vivid and detailed. This is, of course,
highly ~ubjective and very dependent on the cartridge in use.
The various load possibilities are detailed below:
all switches in the open position = 47,000 ohms
all switches open except 8 on
= 1,000 ohms
all switches open except 7 on
= 800 ohms
all switches open except 6 on = 470 ohms
all switches open except 5 on = 250 ohms
all switches open except 4 on = 100 ohms
all switches open except 3 on =
47 ohms
all switches open except 2 on =
25 ohms
all switches open except I on = 10 ohms
all switches on = 5 ohms
Moving Magnet Cartridges: To set the Phono section for Moving Magnet
operation, with the impedance adjusted to 47,000 ohms, set the phono gain
switch towards the front of the preamplifier. This lowers the gain of the
phono section to compensate for the higher output of moving magnet
cartridges. Set all impedance switches for both channels to off.
C. INSTALLATION
1. Cautions!
Note: These are important points of which you always should be aware.
They are presented before the actual installation procedures, should you not
read through the manual entirely.
a. Do not connect the power cord into the AC mains before completing
the "Installation" section!
b. The power amplifier(s) should always be turned off while making
connections.
