Introduction 1.1

Our Symphonic

phonostage brings

advanced features

and our proprietary technology

to vinyl, enabling the easy

integration of turntables into any

system as our ﬂagship MC phono

stage.

Before operation, we strongly

advise you read this user manual

thoroughly.

We also recommend that you

store this user manual, along with

your original receipt of purchase,

in a safe place should you require

assistance in the future.

Protection against

liquids & heat

1.2

Symphonic is not

protected against

liquids of any kind.

Never place containers of liquid

on Symphonic. Never allow

Symphonic to come into contact

with moisture or liquids; doing

so could result in electrocution

or damage to the Symphonic’s

internal circuitry.

Be aware that liquids, including

water that has dried, can leave

minerals that can aect the

PCB and other components,

which could eventually lead to

oxidisation and short-circuiting.

If the Symphonic comes into

contact with moisture or liquids,

immediately disconnect from

the mains power supply, and

connected equipment and

contact Chord Electronics for

further advice.

The Symphonic

has internal thermal

protection which will

shut down the unit in the event

of excessive temperatures

being reached. Never operate

the Symphonic near sources

of heat or naked ﬂames as this

will decrease the lifespan of the

internal components. It is advised

that you do not operate the

Symphonic in an area of direct

sunlight or on top of signiﬁcant

heat- producing devices.

Please be aware that it

is entirely normal for the

Symphonic to become warm

during use, particularly within

a stacked conﬁguration. If

you are concerned about the

temperatures, please switch the

device o or consider a dierent

placement.

There are no user-

serviceable components

within the Symphonic

or its power supply. Dangerous

voltages/currents exist within

the Symphonic and its power

supply, posing a severe risk of

electrocution and/or ﬁre.

Never attempt to

open, dismantle or

apply internal third-

party devices to it or insert

anything other than the listed

interconnects or headphone

adapters within this user manual.

If the Symphonic develops a

fault or the casework becomes

damaged, immediately

disconnect from the mains

power supply and connected

equipment, and contact Chord

Electronics for further advice.

Dismantling & radio

frequency interference

1.3

With a thick, solid aluminium

chassis, the Symphonic’s

casework largely protects the

sensitive internal circuitry from

radio frequency interference.

However, for optimal

performance, it is recommended

that the following points are

observed:

1. Consider placing the

Symphonic away from

wireless routers.

2. Separate the

Symphonic from

ampliﬁers using

toroidal transformers.

3. Operate mobile

phones at a distance

to avoid interference.

Although the Symphonic

is largely shielded, it

can generate radio

frequency interference that

may have an eect on radio

and television reception. If this

occurs, please reconsider your

placement.

Symphonic| Manual

Before connecting the

Symphonic to any equipment,

consult the manufacturer’s user

guide to conﬁrm compatibility.

When connecting the Symphonic

to any equipment, make sure that

all devices are o, including the

Symphonic.

Once connected, switch all

equipment on starting with

the source and ending with the

ampliﬁcation.

Initially, operate the any

connected equipment on its

lowest gain setting and lowest

volume setting, gently increasing

to a comfortable listening level.

Never operate connected

equipment to the Symphonic

at excessive sound levels;

permanent hearing damage and

loss can occur.

The included 16V 4000mA

power supply simply plugs into

the Symphonic.

If the power supply is

prematurely disconnected

Symphonic may still remain

active for up to 15 seconds,

however, this may cause damage

to connected equipment.

Never disconnect the

power cable during

operation. Only

disconnect when Symphonic

is o. If the power cable

is disconnected during

operation there is a risk

of damage to connected

equipment.
