CANOR PH 2.10 Phono Tube Preamplifier User Manual
Dear Music Lover, thank you for purchasing our CANOR PH 2.10 Phono Tube
Preamplifier. To preserve and maintain the best characteristics of your
preamplifier, we recommend you carefully read the following lines.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read before putting the device into operation.
1. Read the instructions all safety information and instructions should be
read before using the preamplifier.
2. Keep the user manual the safety and user instructions manual should be
stored for possible later use.
3. Follow the instructions all safety and user instructions should be
followed. 4. Water and moisture the PH 2.10 Phono Preamplifier should not be
placed near water, for example
near bathtubs, swimming pools, kitchen sinks, etc… 5. Accessories do not use
accessories not recommended by the manufacturer. 6. Placement do not place a
device on an unstable pad. The device may fall, which can cause serious
injuries to children or adults, as well as damage to the device. Use only pads
or racks recommended by the manufacturer or pads sold to dealers with this
device. Any placement of the device should be in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and only accessories recommended by the
manufacturer should be used. 7. Ventilation the unit should be placed the
way to ensure proper airflow. That means it is not allowed to place the
preamplifier on a sofa, or on upholstered furniture. The preamplifier may not
be covered over when in operation; it would otherwise prevent proper airflow
around the vent holes of the preamplifier. 8. Heat preamplifier must be
placed to avoid the heating effect from heat sources, for example, radiators
or stoves, or other heat-producing equipment. The distance from the back wall
of the unit may not be less than 20 cm, and 20 cm above the area of PH 2.10
may not be any barrier. Alongside the unit should be ensured 20 cm minimum
distance from other objects. 9. Power source the device must be connected
only to a main supply for what it is designed for. 10. Power cord it is
necessary to pay particular attention to a power cord, it must be positioned
to avoid setting foot on it and ensure it is protected against mechanical
damage. 11. If you do not use the preamplifier for a longer period you
should disconnect the power cord from the mains supply, or at least turn off
the main power switch located on the back panel. 12. Objects containing liquid
do not place these objects (vases, flowerpots), so that they can fall on the
preamplifier and, eventually, prevent the liquid from being leaked out on the
device. 13. Damages requiring service equipment should be repaired only by
qualified service if:
a. The power cord is damaged. b. The device dropped into the water or was
poured. c. The device was exposed to rain. d. The device works incorrectly. e.
The device fell on the ground or is otherwise mechanically damaged. 14.
Repairs all repairs must be entrusted to a qualified service. 15. General
warning use the device only in accordance with this user guide.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be
observed. To help you avoid an electric shock, do not expose the preamplifier
to rain or moisture!

CANOR PH 2.10 is a tube phono preamplifier for both MM and MC phono cartridges
and is equipped with a high-quality MC step-up Lundahl transformer. It
contains minimum number of amplification steps required to apply purely
passive corrections.
The PH 2.10 is designed with the highest possible audio quality. The overall
electrical and mechanical construction is tailored to achieve this ultimate
goal.
· Wiring circuitry without any global feedback. · PCBs utilize our premium CMT
TM technology. · Absolute selection and tubes matching with above-average
parameters. · Vacuum-impregnated transformer core. · The transformer is potted
in a special anti-vibration compound. · High variability of resistances and
capacitances settings for all types of phono cartridges.
BASIC FUNCTION Plug the power cord in PH 2.10. Turn on the PH 2.10 with the
Power Main switch, which is located on the back panel. When you turn on the
main switch, the PH 2.10 will set into standby mode the red LED on the front
panel lights up. After pressing the Power button controlled turning-on
sequence gets initiated, which consists of preheating the tubes, thereby
extending their life span. The cooling cycle is being carried out when the
unit is turned off, if the main switch on the back panel is not turned off,
i.e. after turning off via the button on the front panel, and a 45-second
countdown to cooling without indication begins. If you turn on the unit at
this time, the cooling will continue and will be indicated by a flashing red
LED. When the cooling cycle is over the main toroidal transformer gets
connected (the CANOR logo lights up), and then the slow start-up of voltage
begins. This cycle lasts 20 30 seconds.
FRONT PANEL · POWER Turning on and off the preamplifier. · MUTE Pressing
this button results in an instant muting of the volume. Subsequent pressing
results in default volume. · DIMM Sets the display brightness in six steps
whereby 0 is a turned-off display, and 5 is maximum brightness. After turning
on, the display brightness level is 3 and by repeatedly pressing or holding
the button, brightness lowers to values 2, 1, 0 and continues to rise until
maximum brightness (5) is reached, and repeatedly lowers until the display is
turned off. In the state of a turned-off display while operating the device
with function keys the display lights up to brightness 2, and after a few
seconds, the display turns off again. · MM To use with Moving Magnet
cartridges. Gain: 46dB. Available MM loads: 50 pF, 150 pF, 270 pF, 370 pF, 520
pF, 620 pF, 740 pF and 840 pF. · C This button will set the loading capacity
for Moving Magnet cartridge (MM input) in steps: 50pF to 840pF. · MC to use
with Moving Coil cartridges. Gain: 70dB. Available MC resistance: 10 R, 20 R,
40 R, 80 R, 150 R, 300 R, 600 R, 1200 R. · R this button will set the
loading resistance for the Moving Coil cartridge (MC input) in steps: 10R to
1200R. · MAIN ROTARY KNOB Adjusting loads and resistance for dedicated
input. It replaces the C / R buttons.
BACK PANEL · LEFT / RIGHT OUTPUTS Unbalanced (RCA) output. · LEFT / RIGHT
INPUTS MC Unbalanced (RCA) inputs for MC cartridges. · LEFT / RIGHT INPUTS
MM Unbalanced (RCA) inputs for MM cartridges. · GROUNDING SCREW Grounding
point for turntable. · POWER Mains power inlet / mains switch with mains
fuse.
