Installation The Consummate Phono Stage is designed to be used only with the Power Supply of Consummate Preamplifier. The Consummate Power Supply provides the correct DC voltages and voltage regulation necessary for proper operation. The use of other powe supplies or sources may cause serious damage to your Phono Stage and will also voi its warranty. The supplied DC power supply cable attaches to the rear of your Consummate Power Supply. Please make sure that the AC cord to the Power Supply is disconnected from wall socket before you attach this Phono Stage DC power supply cable. Double check make sure that the Power Supply AC switch on its back panel is in the "off" position before re-connecting the AC cord to the Power Supply. Otherwise, damage to your Phono Stage can occur. Locate the Phono Stage as close as possible to its final installation point. Allow access the back panel for making connections. You can stack the components of the Consummate system; the suggested arrangement is to have the Consummate Power Supply on the bottom, the Preamplifier in the middle and the Phono Stage on top. You can also position the Phono Stage close to your turntable. Due to extensive local powe supply regulation within the Phono Stage, as well as its high-current, impedancematched, differential mode output capability, it can be located up to 20 meters away fr the Preamplifier and Power Supply with no performance degradation. If you have a situation like this and need a custom length DC power supply cable, please contact yo Jeff Rowland Design Group dealer.
Operating Instructions Single-Ended Input Connections: The Consummate Phono Stage can be operated in a conventional, single- ended inpu mode. Located on the rear panel are 3 input jacks per channel in the Phono Input gro Note also that a small toggle switch marked Input Select is located between the RCA and XLR input jacks. For single- ended operation, simply plug your turntable interconnects into the Normal RCA jacks and set the Input Select switches to Norma your turntable is equipped with a separate ground wire, connect it under the Ground thumbscrew. Balanced Input Connections: The Consummate Phono Stage can also be operated in a balanced (differential mode input configuration. Two different input connector options are provided: XLR inputs in which each channel connector carries the normal and inverting (positive and negative) input signals; or separate RCA connectors by which the normal and inverting signals a
