• Do not use ASP-1000 near sources of water. • ASP-1000 should be placed in a distance from sources of heat such as heaters, stoves or any other appliances that generate a considerable amount of heat. • Always make sure there is enough room around ASP-1000 to enable unobstructed air flow above and below the device.
• Make sure that ASP-1000 is powered from fully operational socket equipped with a grounding prong. If you are not certain that the socket you want to plug ASP-1000 to is equipped with a grounding prong, contact a qualified electrician.
50 hours. However in order to achieve the best sonic properties it requires additional 50 -70 hours of use. After turning ASP-1000 on with the “POWER” button or with a remote control, the preamp tests its internal circuits for about 30 seconds. After this time it is ready to use.
It is particularly useful when using modern sources with high input signal (CD, DAC). Available input signal damping settings: „MUTE”, „-12 dB”, „-6 dB”, „0 dB” (no indication from any signaling diode). Every change of setting causes a temporary muting of the ASP-1000 output. P a g e...
