- Phono Inputs:
Phono Turntables must be fitted with a magnetic cartridge with nominal output level between -55dBV and -25dBV
(1,77 to 56mV). The PHONO inputs (31) of the NUO2 have a high headroom (margin before saturation) and it can
handle higher output cartridges than what is usual. These inputs are supplied with a nominal input sensitivity of
-40dBV(10mV). The NUO2 features a ground connection post to which the ground cable of the turntable should be
connected.
- Line Inputs:
Given the important level differences between usual LINE and CD sources, the NUO2 provides specialized inputs
for each source. The sensitivity of the HIGH LINE (30) input is 0dBV (1V), while the LOW LINE (32) sensitivity is
-10dBV(316mV). CD Players, DAT, MP3, and DVD Audio should be connected to the HIGH LINE input. Tape
players, tuners and some production devices (samplers, sequencers) should be connected to the LOW LINE input.
- Microphone Inputs:
The MIC input (28) is ready for a nominal input level of -50dBV (3.16 mV) and is equipped with ¼" JACK connector.
The connection of balanced signals is as follows:
Hot or direct signal
Cold or inverted signal
Ground
Low impedance (200 to 600Ω) monophonic microphones must be used. For non balanced microphones we
recommend monophonic jack plugs although stereo ones are also suitable if the ring is shortcircuited to the sleeve.
