Once all the connections are completed and checked, ensure that the volume control

of your preamplifier / source is at the minimum setting.

Turn on all components in the signal chain BEFORE the QUESTS; they should

always be the LAST components to be switched ON, and the FIRST to be switched

OFF.

Turn on the amplifiers by using the rocker switch located on the rear top left of the

back panels, just above mains inlet socket.

Bedding in The new amplifiers requires about 200 hours of initial use

(called “bedding in”) before the circuitry becomes stable and

optimum performance is realized.

As the amplifiers “bed in” the sound will become increasingly

smoother, detailed and open.

Once the amplifiers have “bedded in” a warm up time of

approximately 30 to 45 minutes is required each time the

amplifiers are switched on before optimum sonic performance

is reached.

Cleaning No special maintenance is required for the amplifiers. 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 amplifiers.

ENSURE THAT THE AMPLIFIERS ARE SWITCHED OFF

AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS ELECTRICITY

SUPPLY BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY CLEANING.

Valve Life The valves supplied with your amplifiers 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.
