Rega Brio MK7 Manuel D'utilisation page 5

Setting up
The Brio MK7 will work well on most surfaces,
such as a shelf or table, provided there is
sufficient air around the amplifier to prevent
overheating. If using a turntable, magnetic
interference can be avoided by positioning the
amplifier as far away from the cartridge as the
tonearm lead will allow. It is recommended not
to stack other hi-fi equipment directly on top of
the amplifier. Never place it on fabric or carpet.
WARNING: CASE CAN GET HOT!
WARNING: The mains supply cord functions as
a mains disconnect device.
The socket outlet should therefore be located
near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Connectivity
Input 1: Phono (turntables)
Inputs 2 to 4: Line level analogue inputs
Input D1: S/PDIF Coax input
Input D2: S/PDIF Toslink/Optical input
Grounding
You may need to ground your turntable via the
tonearm. For Rega turntables, grounding is
achieved via the Phono lead ground; therefore,
a separate ground is not necessary. If your
tonearm has a separate ground lead, it will need
to be connected to the grounding nut located
on the rear panel of the amplifier. You can use
the nut to clamp down onto the grounding wire,
however, ensure that the turntable and amplifier
are as far away as possible whilst ensuring the
safety of both products.

Loudspeakers
The Brio MK7 is capable of driving all normal
hi-fi loudspeakers. Rega recommends using
loudspeakers with a nominal impedance of
6-8Ω. It is possible to run speakers as low as
4Ω, however, such units may cause the thermal
protection circuit to engage.
In the event that the speaker leads are shorted,
the fold back short circuit protection will protect
the output stage from excessive currents. This
protection circuit is not placed in the audio
signal path and therefore does not affect sound
quality.
WARNING: ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG
THE AMPLIFIER WHEN CHANGING LEADS AND
SPEAKER CABLES!
Headphones
The Brio MK7 is capable of driving all standard
hi-fi headphones. The headphone output has
been characterised to match most commonly
used headphones (see specifications for the
output levels). When a headphone is inserted
into the socket, the speakers will automatically
be turned off. However, it is recommended
to reduce the volume of the Brio MK7 before
connecting any headphones to ensure they are
not damaged and prevent any hearing damage.
WARNING: THE BRIO MK7 IS CAPABLE OF
GENERATING HIGH SOUND PRESSURE, POSING
A HEARING DAMAGE RISK. TO PREVENT
POSSIBLE HEARING DAMAGE, DO NOT LISTEN
TO HEADPHONES AT HIGH LEVELS FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME!
