l. This unit may be used free-Standing on a table, Or it may be mounted on a panel ofany thickness, through
a cut-Out Of 12菩〃×3i〃 (31 ・8×9.5 cms・)・丁o mount on a panel : take o什the cover by removing the wing-
screw which passes through a hole in the cover fixing bracket and threads into a hank-bush in the centre
of the rear panel of the amp皿er. Pass the body of the amplifier through the cuトOut untii the front plate
butts against the panel, rePlace the cover and wing-SCreW and tighten just enough to prevent the front plate
on the amplifier from slipping on the panel・

2. The mains transformer primary is wound for voltages of l10, ]17, 130, 210, 230, 250 (40-60 c/s). The
circular voltage selector (Situated at the back of the amp皿er) shouid be withdrawn to its餌Iest extent,
rotated so that the arrow indicates the voltage nearest to your supply and then reinserted.

3. The amplifier is fitted with a i3-fL (4-metre) power cable, either 2-COrC Or 3-COre aCCOrdillg tO the practice
of the collntry tO Which両s shipped. This cabie should be co11neCted to the domestic power supply as
「ollows:

(a) 3-COre Cable. Ifthe power supply socket has a thjrd (earth) co11taC=he green wire should be connected
to the corresponding pin on the power supply plug and the red and black wires should be connected
to the live and neutral pins respectively, uSua=y marked `L’and `N’.
亭￣ ￣ -「「冊e-七㍍ket has only two contacts then connect the red and bIack wires to the pins of the plug fitting

this socket. Cut off the green lead and run a separate earth (ground) lead from the `EAR丁H’terminal
on the rear ofthe chassis to the water system or to the steel conduit encasing the house wlrmg, PrOViding
that these systems themselves are properly grounded.
(b) 2-COre Cable. The plug fitted to the power cable should be connected to the domestic power supply
socket. A separate ea「th (ground) lead should be run from the `EAR丁H‘ termina喜on the rea「 ofthe
chassis to the water system or to the stee! condujt encasing the house wlrmg, PrOViding that these
systems themseives are properly grounded.
1t is very bad practice to omit this earth connection, and to ensure freedom from hllm (caused by `earth
!oops’) no other earth connectjon shouid be made.
丁he amp輔er is switched on by tuming the volume control.

4. A double socket marked `A.C. OU丁LE丁S’is fitted as a convenient source ol、 power supply for tumtables,
selflpowered radio tune「s, etC. The power taken from this socket should be =mited to 100 watts or there-
abouts. This socket is not fused but is contro=6d by the amp輔er switch.

5. The amp皿er has been designed to operate under domestic conditions for the reproduction of speech and
music anywhere in the world-it w紺perfom in accordance with the specification in ambient temperatures
up to 45OC (112OF). Due to the very small amount ofheat generated by the amplifier it is possible to mount
the amp皿er in a sma= cabinet and it is only necessary to ensure that the sIots in the cover are uncovered.

When using a low impedance (4 ohms) inefficient loudspeaker system it may happen that excessive overload-
ing ofthe amplifier on transients wi= cause the fuse to blow (the distortion under these conditions would be
severe and audibly very objectionable). It is permitted under these conditions to increase the fuse rating
tol.5amps.

7. Loudspeakers of any impedance from 4喜15 ohms may be used and they should be connected by twisted
palrS Ofwires to the plugs fitting the dual socket marked `LOUDSPEAKERS 4-15 OHMS R and L’・ It
will be seen from the circuit drawing that one side of the loudspeaker winding is connected to the chassis,
and no part of the [oudspeaker wiring should be earthed elsewhere. The D.C. resistance ofthe comecting
wires should be as iow as possible, and not more than one-tenth the D・C. resistance ofthe loudspeaker. It is
bad practice to operate any amplifier without a loudspeaker, and ifit is desired to mute either loudspeaker by
switching it out of circuit this should be accomplished by use of a changeover switch which replaces it with
a resistor of corresponding value and rating. If for any reason only one loudspeaker is to be used then a
similar resistor should be connected across the loudspeaker socket of the amplifier channel not in use.

same direction at the same instant. To make sure of this note very carefully the followmg:
If you are using identica=oudspeakers (as you certainly should if you want true stereo) the manu-
facturer will doubtless have kept to a convention when marking the terminals, Very Often simply red and
black. In this case the loudspeakers will be in phase when connected as shown below.

the `PICKUP R’socket. Tum `BASS’control to maximum and then tum up `VOLUME’control until
the hum picked up by the unscreened lead is fairly loud. Then reverse the leads to one loudspeaker; the
COndition which gives you noticeably more bass hum is the correct connection, i.e. the loudspeakers are
inphase.

9. Do not insert the input plugs into the input sockets unless an input device is connected to the plug via
a screened cable. Failure to obse「ve this instruction wi= result in hlgh noise levels when the selector switch

13. NOISE (Hum and皿ss)

The `S丁EREO 30’has a very low noise level which can be checked by removlng al=he input plugs and
turning up the `VOLUME’control. The high-Pitched hiss associated with vacuum tube amplifiers is less
noticeable with transistors, the irreducible noise being lower in pitch and unobtrusive.
N.B, When connecting an input plug to the ‘STEREO 30’ensure that the screening ofthe co-aXial lead does
not touch the chassis of the ampiifier as this may cause excessive hum.

14. (a) The greatest care has been taken in the design of thlS amP皿er to e11Sure that any pickup generally
available in the world can be connected to give optimum results, i.e. the highest quality obtainable from
the chosen make ofpickup. Our prime aim is for you to obtain optimum results from the pickup ofyour
choice.

(b) The pickup should be connected via screened co-aXial cables to the sockets marked `PICKUP l’or
`PICKUP 2’at the rear of the `STEREO 30’, aS Shown below.

(c) Some pickups will be餌ed with two inner conductors covered by one outer screening; in this case the
user should make sure that the screening of both inner conductors is maintained right up to the plugs
fitting the sockets marked `PICKUP l’or `PICKUP 2’, aS Shown below・

(d) We know from experience that the main troubles encountered by the music-iover at home are with the
reproduction of records. There are five major reasons for these troubles :
(i) No record can possibly give perfect reproduction, and many records (perhaps the majority) contain
noticeable distortions due to imperfections in recording and/Or PrOCeSSing. These imperfections may
show up as ’rattle,, high surface noise, reCOrded hum and rumble and recorded `wow’. Shrill treble
may be due to.a poor record, Or tO a Pickup having its high-frequency resonance within the audible
range, Or tO inferior loudspeakers.
(ii) No pickup is perfect and many have performances ve砂, mCh below those which are attainable・
(iii) Hum. This often arises because insu億cient attention is given during the design of a pickup to the
commonlyfround circumstances in which it wi= operate, i.e. near an electric motor and nea「 a powe「
amplifier. Hum can also arise什om incorrect connection ofthe pickup by the user.
If hum is to be kept to a minimum the outer screening of any pickup wiring should either have an
insulated covering, Or it should be prevented from touching any metal on the motor, mOtOrboard o「

臆apyWhere else. The outer screening musl not be used for earthing any part ofthe motor and tumtable
assembly, Which should be earthed by a separate wire taken to the `EARTH, terminal belowthe `SUP-
PLY POWER’grommet on the rear of the `STEREO 30,・ If the pickup am is ofmetal and the
outer screen量ng lS COnneCted to it, then the am must not make meta=ic contact through its bearings
With the metal tumtable and motor assembly.
Unfortunately, On SOme reCOrd-Players and record-Changers the screen is connected to the body o「
the motor mounting-Plate. This is bad practice on the part ofthe makers’and is very likely to cause
hum, Particularly when using a low output pickup. 1f you have this type of wiring’yOu are mOSt
StrOngly urged to insulate the sc「eening from the metal parts of the motorboard.
(iv) `Rumble,. Vibration from the motor is transmitted to the pickup stylus and appears in the sound
output as a rumbling or humming noise. Rumble disappears when the pickup is lifted from the
record.
(v) Acoustic feedback. If a loudspeaker is placed in the same cabinet as a pickup, then vibration from
the movement of the loudspeaker can be transmitted to the stylus of the pickup. As the volume is
increased a stage is reached where a sdstalned roaring noise is set up. At volume levels considerably
below this point distortjon is noticeable. Acoustic feedback disappears when the pickup is冊ed
from the record.
(e) The matching of stereo pickups.
(i) Low-OWゆut moving-magneらmoving-COil or variable-relwctance pick叩s.
The above types should be connected to the `PICKUP l’input sockets, Which have an input sen-
Sitivity of 3. 5mV and an input impedance of 47,000 0hms.
(ii) H臼her o初やut mOVing-magneらmoving-COil or variable-reh/CtanCe Pick印s.
The above types should be connected to the `PICKUP 2’input sockets setting the associated gain
SWitch to `HI,・ The input sensitivity is 20 mV and the input impedance is 33,000 ohms.
(iii) Cり,Stal and Ceramic pick均PS,
The above types should be comected to the input sockets marked `PICKUP 2’’Setting the associated
gain switch to `LO’. The input sensitivity is 60 mV and the input impedance is 100’000 ohms. The
input loading under these conditions forces this type of pickup to give approximate量y the same fre-

quency characteristic as moving-COil and variable-reluctance pickups・ This type of pickup may be
accompanied by recommendations that a high input impedance (1 megohm) should be used ; these
instructions must be disregarded as they apply only when you are using a pre-amP舶er which does
not incorporate record compensation. Ifmore bass is desired you should insert a lOO,000 ohm resis-
tor in series with each `live’pickup input lead. As these resistors can pick-uP hum unless screened, We
StrOngly recommend that you solder the resistors to the co-aXial input sockets inside the pre-amP】i-
fier. It may also be necessary to increase R3R and R3L to 10,000 ohms if more volume is required.
N.B. The sockets marked `P丁CKUP 2’wi園l be inoperative ifa pickup is already comected to the `PTCK-

1 5. (a) The `RIAA’(same as BritishStandard 1928‘61 for Fine Groove Records) playback characteristichas been
incorporated in the `ST王REO 30, as this is an intemationally agreed standard, and has been in world-
Wide use since 1955 for 33‡ and 45 r.p.m. records. This characteristic does not take into account the
acoustics of the recording studio, the position of the microphones re量ative to the artistes, yOur Pickup,

your loudspeaker systems, the acoustics ofyour room and your particular ears! In other words, the p】ay-
back characteristic is of use only as an approximation, and it may well be necessary to adjust the final
result by using the controIs marked `BASS, and `丁REBLE’: this is the reason for their presence. When

Piaying LP records (33‡ and 45 r.p.m.) made prior to 1955 the bass and treble controIs may be used to
COrreCt for diiferences in the recording characteristic.
When playing European 78 records the `TREBLE, controI should, theoretically, be tumed to `2
O’cIock’and the bass control to `11 o’cIock, but, here again, yOu may Prefer the results with the controIs
at `12 o’cIock’!

(b) The `FILTER’switch can be used to give very comprehensive controI ofthe treble frequencies. When the
COntrO=s turned to `9’a filter is switched into circuit, the tumover frequency being 9 kc/S (i.e. the fre-

quency at which the response falls 3dB). Other tumover frequencies of 6 kc/s and 4 kc/s are also ob-

霊葦蕊謹書盤葦;霊盤謹轟盤謹葦蒜室寵悪霊諾嵩
With the `TREBLE’control give an enormous range of high frequency attenuation which is very useful
When reproducing music in which there is high distortion at high frequencies, for it is then possib獲e to
「emove much ofthe o鯖ensiveness whilst losing a minimum ofthe musicai content. The ‘SLOPE’control
is inoperative when the `FILTER’is at `OFF’.

SPECIAL NOTE
With our previous Varislope pre-amPlifiers a number of users reported that the餌er `does not work, on the
9 kc/s and 6 kc/s positions. In GVe′y CaSe On Our Checking the pre-amPlifier it was faultless.
The explanation must be that either the high frequencies were not being reproduced due to inadequate
COmPlementary equipment, i.e. pickups言oudspeakers. etc., and/O「 the particular =stener could not hea「
large changes of intensity at high什equencies.

16. (a) Pickup Ams.
An arm should be as light and as rigid as possible, With the lowest possible friction in the pivots. A
heavy am will be necessary with a pickup cartridge (head) which is inferior in respect of its bass-
resonance frequency being initia11y too high. Ideally, an am and cartridge should be designed con-
JunCtively; it i§ nOt POSSible to specify the performance of one without the other.
(b) The Stylus.
We most emphatically recommend only diamond. The initia] cost wi= be greater, but the long term cost
is much less, for diamond wil1 1ast lOO times Ionger than the next best material, SaPPhire. Furthermore,
because diamond does not chip and retains its contour it is less likely to damage expensive records.
(c) Pickup Cartridges for Stereo.
There are presently four basic types :
(i) Moving-magnet, and (ii) Variable-reluctance (magnetic, mOVing-iron). These are the most widely
used types, and, aSSuming a high degree of design skill, the performances are comparable. They are
robust and relatively simple to manufacture.
(轟) Moving-COil (Dynamic). Idea11y, the moving-COils should be wound on a non-magnetic fomer. A
low impedance coil together with a shielded transformer is essential for the best signal/hiss ratio.
The moving-COil type is more d珊cult and more expensive to manufacture than types i and ii.
(iv) Crystal and Ceramic types. These are the cheapest, and because the output is high, the hum and hiss
levels can be extremely low. However, tO date these types give lower fidelity than the moving-COil,
movlng-magnet Or Variab漢e-reluctance types of pickup.

b) VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENTS
For optimum results from the `STEREO 30’two voltages on ,each channel must be correctly set. These
are set at the factory and should not need adjustment unless a t「ansistor has become faulty and been
replaced.
(i)The voltage at the co=ector ofT9L and T9R should be set at臆23 V for a line voltage of -42 V.
This voltage is set byadjusting P6L and P6R which are situated immediately behind the `VOLUME’
COntrO上When carrylng Out this adjustment use a screwdriver with an insulated shaft to obviate
Shorting to the A.C. switch terminals on the rear ofthe `VOLUME, control.
(ii)The voltage at the collector of TIL and TIR must be set at -4.7 V. This test point is shown by
two white rings round the collector leads of TIL and TIR on the top of the printed board. The
VO書tage is set by adjusting PIL and PIR.

(r) CURREN丁ADJUSTMENTS IQL AND IQR

On the underside of the printed boa「d a「叩WO Pairs of soldering tags marked `IQL’and `IQR’・ Each
Pair is linked by a pleCe Ofwire, and this wlre link may be removed and an ammeter inserted to measure
the quiescent (no-drive) current of the output transistors. The current should be between 1 5 and 20 mA
and jt can be set by adjusting P7L and P7R. This adjustment should be made after the amplifier has been
SWitched on for approximately five minutes and then rechecked after ten minutes. The amplifier must
noI be driven while the meter is in circuit. The amplifier mwst "eVer be switched on without the wire
links or ammete「s comected across the soldering tags as this can easily damage the driver transistors

(Particularly T6).

(c/) PRECAU丁IONS
(i) Avoid shorting the loudspeake「 outpu=eads while driving the amp皿er as this will blow the D.C.
fuse.
We have fitted a lA fuse in order to give maximum protection against fault condition§ CauSing ther-
mal runaway. This fuse can be increased to l.5A (See Para. 6) but this value must not be increased
fu「ther. If the fuse continues to blow then a fault must be present∴

(ii) Do not sustain fu11-POWer Sine wave drive, Particularly at high frequencies, aS this wi= overheat the
OutPut and drive transistors and cause the D.C. fuse to blow.
(iii) Do not short together the lead-Out Wires of the transisto「s as this can cause rapid failure of the
transistor, Pa「ticular】y under drive conditions.

(e) TRANSISTORS
丁he transistor types used are shown on the circuit diagram and other replacement types should not
be used unless full facilities for testing the amplifier are available.

(f) THERMISTORS AND DIODES

丁he thermistor types used are VA 1055 (THl) and VA 1039 (TH2). These have a D.C. resistance at
25OC. of 15,000 0hms (VA 1055) and 500 ohms (VA 1039) ; Other thermistor§ having the same character-
istics may be used as replacements.
The diodes used are type 20AS but any silicon diode having an average current rating of O.5A and
a PIV (Peak inverse voItage) rating of 200 V can be used as a replacement.
