Cartridge Settings
Set the input impedance for the installed cartridge using the switch settings
on the underside of the Uphorik. Ensure you use the same settings for left and
right channels. You may wish to mute the pre-amplifier while you do this.
Refer to the product documentation from your cartridge manufacturer for ap-
propriate values, or view the Uphorik Online Manual (see across) for popular
non-Linn cartridges and instructions for optimising these settings for your
cartridge.
Optimum settings for Linn cartridges are as follows:
ADIKT AKIVA KLYDE
Operation
The front panel LED will dim to indicate ‘level clipping’ when the output is too high.
If the front panel LED indicates clipping regularly it may be necessary to lower the
gain setting for this cartridge.
