Rega ARIA MK3 Mode D'emploi page 7

IMPORTANT: Turn off the Aria before changing
any of the settings on the back, especially the
MC gain setting which causes the MC input
circuit to re-adjust. This may cause a big 'thump'
through the speakers if the amplifier is on and
the Aria is the source component. The MC input
has the provision for selecting resistive input
loading of 70 to 400 Ω and capacitive loading
of 1000 to 4200 pF. The input sensitivity can
also be changed by 6 dB. You must adjust each
channel (left and right) individually, via the use
of the dip switches located on the back panel.
Your cartridge manufacturer will state the
recommended loading for the MC cartridge you
have chosen.
MC CARTRIDGE ADJUSTMENT
All Rega MC models require the following
settings:
LEFT/RIGHT MC LOADING RESISTANCE:
1 only on = 100 Ω
LEFT/RIGHT MC LOADING CAPACITANCE:
3 and 4 off = 1000 pF
LEFT/RIGHT MC GAIN:
1 on and 2 off high gain = 69.3 dB
*The Aria will be factory set to the
above settings by default.
