PHONO CARD ADJUSTMENTS

If the Phono Card option has been factory installed, so that Input 2 on the rear of the CONCERTO is dedicated for phono operation only, the following adjustments can be made to optimize the performance of a particular phono cartridge. These adjustments include both cartridge loading and overall phono amplifier gain.
