6Warnings
To prevent re, or shock hazard, do not expose your Reference Phono 10
to rain or moisture.
This unit contains voltages which can cause serious injury or death. Do
not operate with cover removed. Refer servicing to your authorized Audio
Research dealer, service center or factory.
The detachable power cord on your Reference Phono 10 is equipped with
a heavy gauge, 3-conductor cable and a standard three-prong grounding
plug. For absolute protection, do not defeat the ground power plug. This
provides power line grounding of the Reference Phono 10 chassis to provide
absolute protection from electrical shock.
For continued protection against re hazard, replace the fuse only with the
same type and rating as specied at the fuse holder.
The appliance coupler at the rear of this unit must be accessible for
emergency power disconnect.
A note about packaging...
Save all packaging in a dry place away from re hazard. Your Reference
Phono 10 preamplier is a precision electronic instrument and should be
properly cartoned any time shipment is made. You may not have occasion to
return your unit to the factory for service, but if that should prove necessary,
or other occasion requiring shipment occurs, the original packaging will
protect your Reference Phono 10 from unnecessary damage or delay.

Installation
Installation of Vacuum Tubes
Before operating the Reference Phono 10...
This unit has been shipped with the vacuum tubes installed in protective
foam in a separate box packed inside the shipping carton. Remove the
tubes carefully from the protective foam. Using a phillips-head screwdriver
to loosen the fastening screws, remove the top cover and set aside.
After removing the top cover and the vacuum tubes packed in protective
foam, see the accompanying illustrated sheet (g. 1 + 2) for instructions
on installing the tubes for your Reference 10 in their proper locations in the
power supply and audio chassis. Note that the numbers written on each
tube correspond to a ‘V’ number printed on the circuit board next to each
tube socket. Insert each tube rmly, carefully aligning the tube pins with the
corresponding socket holes.

8Installation
In your System
While the Reference Phono 10 does not dissipate an unusual amount of
heat, it is important that it be provided with reasonable airow to assure
long, trouble-free operation. In addition, the following installation guidelines
will help insure maximum sonic performance as well as reliable service:
Operate unit in upright and horizontal position, prefer-ably on solid, non-
metal shelving.
Do not stack the preamp on top of a power amplier: not only could this
cause overheating, but hum may be introduced into the preamp from the
proximity of the amplier’s power transformer.
Do not stack components or other objects directly on top of the Reference
Phono 10.
Do not place or operate your preamp on a soft or irregular surface such as
a rug. This will prevent proper ventilation.
Do not operate your preamp without the top and bottom covers installed.
These are required both for safety as well as shielding from interference
(except in service operations by qualied personnel).
Ensure a minimum of 8-10” clearance above the unit when placed on
shelving.

Connections
Input Connections
The Reference Phono 10 offers two sets of RCA input connectors, for
connecting multiple turntable/tonearm cables. There is a ground terminal
connection adjacent to the RCA input connectors to allow grounding of the
turntable(s).
Output Connections
There is one set of BAL and one set of RCA output connectors for connecting
to line inputs (Direct, Aux, Phono, Tuner, etc.) of your linestage/preamplier.
All input/output connectors are gold plated and connect ‘ground’ before
‘hot’. On disconnect, ‘hot’ is disconnected rst.
Note: A ‘passive’ line stage is not recommended for use with the Reference
Phono 10 as it may not provide the gain necessary to amplify the output of
the Reference Phono 10 to adequate levels to the power amplier.
It is recommended that all connections be made to the Reference Phono
10 with the power turned ‘off’.
10 Operation
Power-Up Procedure
Secure all rear-panel connections between Reference Phono 10 and the
preamplier. Connect umbilical cables between the Reference Phono 10
Audio and power supply chassis. Twist outer ring to secure.
Plug three-prong power cord from rear of chassis into grounded A.C. wall
outlet. The Power switch defaults to ’off’ when the unit is plugged into a
power receptacle.
Press power switch (either remote or front panel). The screen will initially
display ‘Now Loading’ for a few seconds, after which it will display the Audio
Research logo followed by ‘Reference Phono 10’ (g. 3 + 4). The main
display screen will then appear on the screen, and ‘MUTE’ will be ashing.
Once ‘MUTE’ becomes solid, depress the front panel MUTE button (right
button) or touch the word ‘MUTE’ on the screen to initiate normal operation.
Select input source, then make any other necessary adjustments.
Shut-Down
• Activate ‘Mute’ function.
• Turn off power amplier(s).
• Turn off preamplier.
• Press Reference Phono 10 Power switch to ‘off’.
