Dear Clearaudio customer,congratulations on the purchase of your new nano phono V2 / nano phono headphone V2 MC/MM phono stage.The nano phono V2 / nano phono headphone V2 features a power switch: we recommend that you keep the unit switched on in order to maintain a constant temperature for the electronic parts inside (this uses very little power).The new nano phono V2 / nano phono headphone V2 also has a built-in volume control unit.Please read this instruction manual carefully, to avoid any damage or loss of warranty.This manual will help you achieve an easy setup and guarantees the highest pleasure for a long time.We wish you a lot of listening pleasure with your new Clearaudio nano phono V2 / nano phono headphone V2 phono stage.Clearaudio electronic GmbHWarningDo not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands.No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the equipment.CE-MARKIERUNG

IMPORTANT!

First, select either the MC (moving coil) or MM (moving magnet) mode according to your cartridge type, by inserting the removable jumpers into the relevant positions on the bottom of the unit (one each for left and right channels). The subsonic filter function can also be adjusted by inserting jumpers into the relevant points on the bottom of the unit: if the jumper is inserted, then the subsonic filter is OFF. If the jumper is not inserted, then the subsonic filter is ON.

The next step is to connect the ground wire of the turntable/tonearm with the nano phono V2 / nano phono headphone V2. Make sure that the gain control is set to its lowest volume before connecting the nano phono V2 / nano phono headphone V2 to your MC/MM cartridge and preamplifier.Finally, the very last thing to do is to connect the power supply to the mains and press the power button to the “ON” position.

– Attention –

Never cover or put anything on top of the Nano Phono V2 / nano phono headphone V2 as this could lead to overheating of electronic parts.If the unit a long time not in use, please press the button on top of the device. If the device is not in use, disconnect it completely from the power supply by removing the main plug from the socket.

– Notice –

If you are using the nano phono V2 / nano phono headphone V2 with a two-pin mains plug, you may notice that inserting the plug into the mains socket one way round gives a slightly better sound than the other way. Experiment to identify which is the optimum position.Phonostages provide a very high level of amplification, to address the fact that the electrical signal generated by a phono cartridge is extremely low.As a result, phonostages are extremely sensitive, which leads to the potential problem that high-frequency interference may also be amplified to a point at which it becomes noticeable. Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely protect the sensitive phono stage circuitry from this interference without degrading its high fidelity performance. Therefore care must be taken to position the phono stage away from sources of high-frequency interference such as mobile phones, modems, and powerline communication systems (PLC) in which data is sent over the mains power network.

nano phono V2 product information

The nano phono V2 is a fully Dual Mono Design, designed for use with other MM or MC cartridges. Cartridge type is selected with individual jumpers for the left and right channels which are located on the underside of the unit.The standard input impedance is set at 47 kΩ, which ensures an optimal setting for all MM cartridges.For the perfect input matching with MC cartridges, Clearaudio now includes the following resistor pairs:– 51– 200– 402 and– 1000ΩIf there are no resistors connected to the jumpers while in MC mode, the cartridge is automatically loaded with 47 kΩ.The 402 Ω resistors are recommended for Clearaudio MC cartridges.The other resistor values allow 3rd party MC cartridges to be loaded according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. It should be noted that sometimes your personal preference for cartridge loading may differ from that recommended by the cartridge manufacturer.If so, Clearaudio recommends: Trust your own listening abilities, in your own surroundings!Clearaudio wishes you a lot of pleasure listening to music!
