  • Page 7: Installation Of The Vacuum Tubes

    INSTALLATION OF THE VACUUM TUBES Place the Titania amplifier on a stable surface. Carefully remove the vacuum tubes from their packaging and install them in the appropriate sockets, as shown below, and adhering to the numbering scheme as identified on the packaging. Please pay attention to the diameter of the socket and to the appropriate orientation of the vacuum tube pins.
  • Page 8: Where To Place Your Amplifier

    The sound quality may be degraded as a result of vibrations. Therefore we recommended to place the amplifier on a flat and stable surface. ATTENTION - Never place the Fezz Audio Titania amplifier in the vicinity of sources that produce large amounts of heat.

  • Page 10: Hook-Up Of The Power Supply Cord

    Any and all connections must be made whilst the device is disconnected from the mains power supply. Before making any such connections, make sure that the amplifier is switched off. HOOK-UP OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD Make sure that the amplifier is switched off. Connect the power cord to the IEC socket on the rear panel of the amplifier.
  • Page 11: First Power-Up And Getting Started

    Select the source of signal using the rotary selector switch located on the front panel. Set the volume control to minimum. Turn on the mains power of the Titania amplifier – the vacuum tubes shall begin to glow. Make sure that the sound source is turned on, playing, and then gradually increase the volume level by turning the potentiometer.
  • Page 12: Adjustment And Control Of The Bias Currents

    ADJUSTMENT AND CONTROL OF THE BIAS CURRENTS _________ Setting and control of the bias is a procedure that is required after the first switch-on and after the initial burn-in period of the amplifier. Later on, we recommend to check these parameters once a month. Please make yourself acquainted with the locations of the measuring points: •...
  • Page 13 3) Measure the actual value of the BIAS between MR1 and MR2 or MR1 and MR3. 4) Adjust the voltage reading using the BIAS level potentiometer AR1 to a value as close as possible to 500 mV (+/- 20mV). THE PROCEDURE FOR ADJUSTMENT OF BIAS FOR THE LEFT CHANNEL Similarly as described in the procedure for the right channel, conduct the adjustments using potentiometers AL1 AL2 and the measurement points ML1, ML2 and ML3.
  • Page 14: Burning-In" The Amplifier

    “BURNING-IN” OF THE AMPLIFIER _____________________________ Any tube amplifier requires an initial pre-heating (or "burn-in") period, in order so that it achieves its full sonic potential. This is due to the presence of residual polarization of dielectric elements and due to a necessary stabilization of working parameters of the vacuum tubes.
