Thank you for buying Lejonklou Slipsik 5!
Please read this man al caref lly before connecting yo r Slipsik.
Connections
Slipsik is a moving magnet phono preamplifier b ilt in d al
mono. This means that each side (left and right) handles one
channel only. Start by connecting yo r t rntable to the top
(white) phono sockets as shown below.
Now connect a good pair of interconnects from the o tp ts (red)
to a pair of line level inp ts on yo r amplifier, as shown below.
Please note that the colo rs white and red do not correspond to
left and right! These connectors are chosen for best so nd q ality
and their man fact rer has ref sed to prod ce them in black.
If yo r t rntable has a gro nd lead, connect it to the large gro nd
screw. Last of all, connect the power cord. On E ropean models,
make s re that the li e phase of yo r power socket is on the same
side as the x in the name Volex printed on the pin side of the
power cord pl g. This will res lt in a weaker electrical field aro nd
the power s pply inside Slipsik, which improves the so nd.
Slipsik has a very low power cons mption and is designed to be
operating contin ally. We strongly recommend, however, that yo
disconnect yo r Slipsik from the mains d ring th nderstorms and
when left n sed for longer periods of time.
Extra ground lead
The optimal sit ation for yo r system is that all components are
gro nded thro gh their power cords, to a single common point.
Slipsik ses a floating signal gro nd design, which in most
sit ations res lts in the highest possible so nd q ality.
In some systems, however, when Slipsik is properly gro nded and
the amplifier is not, a h m problem can res lt. The sol tion is to
connect the s pplied gro nd cable, between a rear corner screw
and the gro nd screw, as shown in the ill stration below.
If you don’t ha e a hum problem, don’t fit this cable.
We hope you will enjoy your Slipsik 5!
If yo enco nter any problems with it, please contact yo r retailer
or Lejonklo directly. Email and telephone information can be
