Box
Contents
1 x SXV2 Phono Preamplifier
1 x Product manual
1 x Detachable AC power cord
3 x Performance analysis charts
Placing Your
SXV2
The SXV2 should enerally be placed close to your source
equipment, thus keepin the interconnect cablin between the
tone arm and phono sta e as short as practical. This will reduce
the systems susceptibility to radio frequency interference (RFI),
electroma netic interference (EMI) and the ne ative effects
associated with lon cables.
Ventilation
Requirements
The SXV2 is a low power preamplifier. Ventilation requirements
are not considered to be an important factor in product
placement.
In the event that the SXV2 is to be incorporated into custom
cabinetry, please refer to the dimensional information provided in
the Specifications section of the manual (Chapter 12).

Placement
The SXV2 is a hi hly sensitive preamplifier and best results will
be achieved when placed away from potential interference from
other components and electrical devices, for example AC mains
cords/outlets, transformers, hi h power amplifiers, computers,
etc.
Place the SXV2 close or near the turntable in order to make as
short a connection as possible between the tone arm and
preamplifier.
Turn off associated components
This minimises the potential to dama e any other components
when connectin your SXV2 into the system.
Connect turntable to SXV2
Connect the audio output from the turntable to the inputs at the
rear of the SXV2. Also, connect the turntable earth terminal to
the earth post on the SXV2. Refer to Chapter 4 for Rear Panel

Caution!
Prior to connecting the AC mains, please check the voltage
label on the rear panel to ensure that your unit conforms to
the power supply in your area. Never attempt to connect
the unit to the incorrect voltage.
Switch on preamplifier/amplifier
Set the volume to the minimum level and select the input that the
SXV2 is connected to.
