DESCRIPTION
The
1122
is
a
two-channel,
solid-state,
equalized
preamplifier/
line
amplifier
desi
g
ned
to
provide
the
highest
quality
disc
reprod-
uction
for
broadcast
and
recording
applications.
While
primarily
intended
for
stereo
use,
it
may
be
utilized
very
effectivedly
for
two
separate
monophonic
channels.
Any
magnetic
pickup
designed
for
operation
with
a
47,000
ohm
termination
may
be
used
with
the
Model
1122,
and
its
wide
dynamic
range
provides
faithful
reproduction
from
low
level
classical
recordings
or
maximum
excursion
single
records.
Outputs
are
balanced
for
600-ohm
or
150-ohm
lines
(approximately
80
ohms
actual).
Installation
is
simple,
and
with
standard
grounding
practices
the
1122
is
exceptionally
immune
to
rf
interference.
High
frequ
e
ncy
and
low
frequency
trimmers
are
provided
for
each
channel,
to
allow
balancing
the
response
of
a
stereo
cartridge
or of
two
monophonic
cartridges
.

INSPECTION
AND
INSTALLATION
2.1
UNPACKING
AND
INSPECTION
The
Model
1122
was
carefully
packed
at
the
factory,
and
the
container
was
designed
to
protect
the
unit
from
rough
handling.
Nevertheless,
we
recommend
careful
examination
of
the
shipping
carton
and
its
contents
for
any
sign
of
physical
damage
which
could
have
occurred
in
transit.
If
damage
is
evident,
do
not
destroy
any
of
the
packing
mater-
ial
or
the
carton,
and
immediately
notify
the
carrier
of
a
possible
claim
for
damage.
Shipping
claims
must
be
made
by
the
consignee.
The
shipment
should
include:
Model

Preamplifier
UREI
Instruction
t
anual
Two-part
Warranty
Card
bearing
the
same
serial
number
as
the
Model
1122.
2.2
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The
system
will
operate
satisfactorily
over
a
range
of
ambient
temperatures
from
-5°C
to
+55°C
(+23°F
to
131°F),
and
up
to
80%
relative
humidity.
If
the
system
is
installed
in
an
equipment
rack
together
with
high
heat
producing
equipment
(such
as
power
amplifiers),
adequate
ventilation
should
be
provided
to
prolong
the
life
of
components.
Also,
while
circuitry
susceptible
to
hum
pick-up
is
sufficiently
shielded
from
moderate
electromagnetic
fields
,
installation
should
be
planned
to
avoid
mounting
the
system
immediately
adjacent
to
large
power
transformers,
motors,
etc.
2.3
POWERING
Unless
a
tag
on
the
line
cord
specifies
otherwise,
the
Model
1122
was
shipped
ready
for
operation
with
nominal
115
VAC
power
mains.
In
order
to
change
this
for
nominal
230
VAC,
(50
or
60
Hz) ,
the
strapping
on
the
power
transformer
must
be
changed.
Remove
the
jumpers
between
terminals
1
and
3,
and
also
between
terminals
2
and
4.
Instead,
add
a
jumper
from
terminal
2
to
3.
Be
sure
to
change
the
fuse
to
the
correct
value:
1/8
A
slo-blo
when
changing
to
230
V
operation,
or
1/4
A
slo-blo
for
115
V
operation.

EXTERNAL
CONNECTIONS
2.4.1
INPUT
CONNECTIONS
Input
connections
are
made
to
the
1122
through
two
"RCA"
type
standard
phone
jacks
on
the
rear
chassis,
marked
"A"
and
"B".
Most
phone
pickup
arms
are
equipped
with
shielded
cables
terminating
in
plugs
which
will
directly
mate
with
the
1122
jacks.
The
Model
1122
must
be
physically
located
to
allow
direct
connection
via
these
short
cables,
as
any
attempt
to
extend
them
with
additional
cable
or
extension
cables
will
result
in
loss
of
high
frequencies
due
to
the
added
shunt
capacitance.
2.4.2
OUTPUT
CONNECTIONS
Permanent
output
signal
wires
should
be
shielded
cable,
and
connected
in
accordance
with
standard
wiring
practice,
as
indicated
on
the
rear
panel
barrier
strip.
If
the
Hodel
1122
output
is
connected
to
a
high
impedance
circuit,
we
recommended
shunting
the"
±"
and
"COM"
output
ter-
minal
s
with
620
ohm,
1/2
watt
resistors.
This
assures
optimum
loading
for
the
Model
1122.
