Operation
The wall adaptor provided with the unit is connected to the VIVACE
power inlet. The line operating voltage of this high performance
power supply can range from 100V – 240V. The mains plug
conforms to the sockets used in the destination country. Should for
any reason you decide to use a different power supply, be sure it
can deliver 15V DC, regulated @ 2A. The supply jack is a female
type 5.5mm/2.1mm, tip is positive. We advice users that using a
different power supply than the one included in the package will
void the warranty: No warranty claim will be acknowledged for
damages due to the use of a power supply different from the one
included in the package.
Once the power supply is connected, the blue LED should light up
when the power switch is operated. Turn off the unit and do the
signal connections according to figure 2. If everything is connected,
turn on and have fun!
The volume control works simultaneously for both analogue
outputs. The control range spans from -84 ... +0dB in increments of
1dB (-84dB - -41dB) and 0.5 dB (-40dB - 0dB). For utmost fidelity, we
recommend using a preamp with analogue attenuation and
operating the VIVACE in the fixed mode (green LED on). This only
makes sense, when the preamp is state of the art, otherwise the
internal volume control will outperform any analogue amplifier.
Driver installation
Installing process (Mac)
No drivers are required for the Mac computer with OSX 10.6.4 and
later. A native support for audio devices compliant with USB 2.0
Audio class is already included in the operating system. Your
VIVACE will be immediately recognized by the OS and ready to
use. Be sure to select the VIVACE (Ivo Linnenberg Elektronik) as
output device in the "System Preferences / (Hardware) Sound /
Output" menu. In the "Applications / Utilities / Audio Midi setup.app"
menu you can select the standard sample rate which is (44100 kHz)
for CD sourced music. Using high end audio player software instead
of iTunes is recommended.
