Chapter 4 - Connecting the Groove Sleuth MICRO to your turntable
and sound card
The
Groove Sleuth Micro
is connected to your turntable
and the line-level inputs of your sound-card as illustrated.
Levels should be set on the interface in the normal way
and you will find that the
Groove Sleuth Micro
delivers
audio at a sufficiently high level for all commercial sound-
cards, both internal and external.
Some
turntables have a thin “ground” w
ire which
connects to the metal components of the tonearm and to
the plate which carries the main turntable bearing. If this
wire is not earthed, the record-deck signal will often be
noisy and “buzzy”.
Appendix 2 offers suggestions as to
how best to connect the turntable earth wire (if present).
The best choice depends on the complexity and choice of
the related equipment.
Chapter 5
–
Groove Sleuth MICRO PHLUX-Bridge
The alternate role for
Groove Sleuth MICRO
is as a base-station to the
PHLUX-II
active phono cartridge. Called the
Groove
Sleuth MICRO PHLUX-Bridge
, the unit allows the
PHLUX-II
active phono cartridge to be used in all standard hi-fi applications.
Connections are made as illustrated above.
The
Groove Sleuth MICRO PHLUX-Bridge
version retains
all the advantages of the MICRO (rechargeable battery
PSU etc.) but it has no line-level output. It may not be
used with computer sound-cards for needle-drop
recordings.
