The MM 008 comes with three pairs of RCA loading plugs which are to be connected to the “MC LOAD” sockets (3) on the rear panel. Two RCA loading plugs of the same value must be fitted, one per channel. The default MC loading resistance is 47 k? with no RCA plugs inserted; if the cartridge manufacturer recommends a different load, you can choose between 10 ?, 100 ? and 1 k? with the RCA loading plugs provided. Please note that these plugs only refer to the MC inputs, not the MM inputs, which have a fixed internal load resistance of 47 k?.
