The  M6  Phono  is  equipped  with  custom  designed  and  manufactured 
output  transformers,  which  utilize  an  improved  output  and  grounding 
scheme to provide the best possible connection to the power amplifier. 

 

 

Below is a description of the various cable and connection options: - 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

The pin configuration for all Audio Note (UK) 

 

 

XLR / BALANCED connections is as follows: - 

 
 

 

PIN 1   

Ground / Shield 

 

 

PIN 2   

Positive / Send 

 

 

PIN 3   

Negative / Return 

 
 

 

 

 

 

The  balanced  and  unbalanced  outputs  cannot  be  used 
simultaneously;

 select the appropriate output using the toggle switch. 

 
 
 

 

When using an amplifier with a true balanced input, the 

 

 

‘BALANCED  /  SINGLE  ENDED’  switch  may  be  set  in  either  position. 
When  set  to  the  ‘BALANCED’  position,  the  centre  tap  of  the  output 
transformer  secondary  is  connected  to  the  preamplifier’s  ground. 
When  set  in  the  ‘SINGLE  ENDED’  (unbalanced)  position,  the 
secondary ‘floats’ in relation to the preamplifier ground. This provides 
the option of either a low or high common mode impedance to ground 
at  the  preamplifier  output.  Experiment  with  both  positions  to  achieve 
the lowest background hum from the system.
