Once all the connections are completed and checked, ensure that the volume control
is at the minimum setting (rotated all the way left).
Turn on the amplifier by using the rocker switch located on the rear top right of the
back panel, just above mains inlet socket.
Function Selector Located on the left of the front panel. Turn the selector to the
source you wish to listen to. The far left position selects the
front pair of RCA / phono sockets; the far right position selects
the rear pair of RCA / phono sockets.
Volume Control Located on the right of the front panel. This control adjusts the
listening level, or loudness, through 23 precisely chosen steps.
A stepped attenuator was chosen for total sonic purity, as the
delicate signal only passes through two matched resistors of
the highest quality per channel for each volume setting. This is
without question the best and most accurate form of volume
control, and is infinitely superior to any type of conventional
volume attenuator. No remote control is supplied or available;
the sound quality compromises with such devices are too great
for them to be acceptable.
Bedding in The new amplifier requires about 200 hours of initial use (called
“bedding in”) before the circuitry becomes stable and optimum
performance is realized.
As the amplifier “beds in” the sound will become increasingly
smoother, detailed and open.
Once the amplifier has “bedded in” a warm up time of
approximately 30 to 45 minutes is required each time the
amplifier is switched on before optimum sonic performance is
reached.
Cleaning No special maintenance is required for the amplifier. Use a
soft, clean lint free cloth to remove any surface marks from the
casework. For finger marks / grease, use a soft, clean lint free
cloth, lightly moistened with a solution of warm water and mild
detergent. Do not use any alcohol or solvent based cleaning
products, as they may damage the finish of the amplifier.
ENSURE THAT THE AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY CLEANING.
Valve Life The valves supplied with your amplifier should provide
approximately 6000 hours of operation. They are specially
selected by us, and should only be replaced with matched
pairs. Please consult your Audio Note (UK) dealer should your
valves need replacing.
