• Please find a place for your Audionet HEISENBERG that is sufficiently venti- lated to allow the heat to dissipate. • Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight. • Do not place the HEISENBERG in close range to heat sources like radiators. • Do not cover the ventilation slots. -
Page 9: Mains Connection
• The electrical specifications of your home country must meet the electrical specifications printed onto the back panel. • The HEISENBERG is a Class I unit and must be earthed. Please ensure a stable earth connection. The phase ('hot' pin) is marked on the back panel (PHASE) •... -

5.2 Speaker terminals Connect your speakers to the rhodium plated terminals on the back panel of the HEISENBERG. You may use both banana plugs or spades as well as simple cable ends. HEISENBERG features two electrically identical speaker terminals , which you may use alternatively. In case you would like to bi-wire your speakers, please refer to section 'Bi-Wiring' on page 12. -
Page 12: Bi-Wiring
Note • Look out for the correct connection of your speaker cables. Usually, the ter- minals of your speakers are marked '+' and '-'. The HEISENBERG uses the same marks. • Wrong speaker polarization will result in severe loss of sound quality! Important •... - Page 13 'Toslink' cable. Note • The 'switch on' signal is issued to all further Audionet units daisy chained to the 'Audionet Link' output of your HEISENBERG with a little delay to avoid all units switching on at the same time – which could cause an overload of...

Page 14: Operating
(refer to sections 'Installation and power supply' on page 8 and 'Inputs and outputs' on page 11). The HEISENBERG is a stand-by unit. Please insert the power cord into the mains input socket on the back panel. The operation indicator (light ring around key on the front panel) flashes white - red - white once. -

– which could otherwise cause an overload of your mains fuse. • You may of course switch your HEISENBERG on or off at any time by using on the front panel independently from the 'Audionet Link' in- terface. -
Page 16: Operation Indicator
HEISENBERGs in your setup will switch off at a different point of time ac- cording to each input signal. • Operate the HEISENBERG as usual. Of course, you are still able to switch on/off the unit manually. 6.5 Operation indicator... -
Page 17: Protection System
Protection system The Audionet HEISENBERG as well as the loudspeakers are protected by a com- plex protection circuitry. In case of a malfunction the operation indicator will flash the number of the error in red, i.e. you simply have to count the number of red flashes to determine the error number. - Page 18 Important • As soon as an error is detected by the protection system, HEISENBERG pow- ers down. The operation indicator shows short red pulses while the power supply is discharged – in contrast to the normal discharging, indicated by short white flashes.
