Connecting the VK-P10SE to Your System
Cartridge Input
The back panel of the VK-P10SE phono stage is equipped with two sets of input connectors:
RCA input connectors
XLR input connectors
Either set can be used for connection. This gives the user the flexibility in connecting the
phono cartridge cable to the VK-P10SE. Whenever possible, the balanced XLR inputs should
be used. They provide the best possible performance. Please contact the factory regarding the
best ways of connecting your tonarm to the VK-P10SE.
NOTE: Connecting to RCA Inputs:
When connecting your cartridge to the VK-P10SE RCA inputs, it is necessary to install
the supplied shorting plugs into the unused XLR inputs.
Output Connection
The VK-P10SE is equipped with XLR output connectors. Any high quality set of balanced
interconnects can be used to connect the VK-P10SE to your balanced preamplifier.
Single-ended preamplifiers can be connected to the VK-P10SE output through the use of
XLR-to-RCA adapters, available from BAT.
Description of Controls
Power Switch
The power switch has two positions: OFF and ON. Putting the switch in the OFF position
(even for a short period of time) will reset the soft start and mute circuits. The VK-P10SE
will then require about 45 seconds to return back to normal operation.
When you turn the unit ON, the VK-P10SE will automatically go through a gentle power-on
sequence. At the end of this sequence the unit will automatically unmute. However, since the
source volume may be unknown at this time, it is advisable to turn the volume control on your
preamplifier fully counterclockwise and place the mute switch in "Mute" position before
turning the VK-P10SE ON.
