Steelhead RC Phono Stage

It has two inputs that function with the selectable impedance load switch 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 Ohms via Mr. Clever "Steelhead" transformer/autoformer. It also has an input that functions with the resistive input loading values of: 100,

OTHER FEATURES WE SHOULD MENTION:

• LINE input comes after RIAA stage, but before the volume control and Variable output white follower buffer. The LINE button on faceplate selects LINE input or the output from the built in RIAA stage.

• There are clever anti-RFI grounding options user selectable via dip switches on the back for those in high Radio Frequency Interference zones. If you are picking up a local radio station through your system, try playing with these switches.

• All the inputs show up via standard RCA jacks.

• There is an additional pair of RCA Outputs for those bi-amping or driving amps and a subwoofer directly from the Variable Outputs. This second set of outputs is wired in parallel to the Variable Outputs. If you need them wired to the Direct Outputs, we can do that too upon request.

• The motorized volume control has a smooth action when turned by hand or one can control it via the REMORA REMOTE push buttons.

• Badge illumination uses nice looking white LEDs which will never burn out.

• Output Muting relays changed to short outputs if power is turned off.

• Output Muting relays short out the outputs if power is turned off preventing unwanted bangs or pop noises.

• The SLEEP button puts the unit into standby conserving power and tube life.

• The audio (audible) circuitry has remained largely unchanged since the first Steelhead shipped in 2001.

• Vacuum tube complement: 6922 SOVTEK Russian x 2 (gain) plus JAN NOS GE 7044 or 5687 x 4 (output buffers)

• Fuse type and ratings @ 117 VAC operation: 1.5 Amp 3AG slow-blow mains fuse 0.5 Amp 3AG slow-blow logic fuse

• Fuse type and ratings @ 230 VAC operation: 0.75 Amp 3AG slow-blow mains fuse 0.25 Amp 3AG slow-blow logic fuse

• Resistively Loaded selections: 5-step user adjustable via fixed low-noise resistors. 100,
