Page 3: Why Redgum
Why REDGUM? The River Red Gum is Australia’s most widespread and recognised tree, and it produces a wood that is truly unique. It yields the second hardest timber in the world, and this strength saw its widespread use in the railway lines that sprang up to connect the rapidly expanding colonies of early 20th century Australia. -
Page 4: Unpacking
Unpacking Carefully unpack and inspect your new amplifier. In the carton there should be: an Owner's manual 2 remote control handsets, 1 as a spare the amplifier a power cord If there is any damage to the amplifier, contact your dealer immediately. -
Page 5: Connecting Your Amplifier To Other Components
Connecting your amplifier to other components For safety reasons, always ensure that your amplifier and other components are turned off and disconnected from mains power before making any connections. Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock and/or damage to your equipment. Loudspeakers The loudspeaker terminals at the rear of your amplifier are colour coded red (+) and black (-). -
Page 6: Disc Players And Other Components
Therefore, any unused inputs may be used by other components. If you wish to connect a Turntable, you will need to purchase a separate Phono Preamplifier. REDGUM Audio produces a stand-alone Phono Preamplifier, RGPH models. If in any doubt, consult your dealer. -
Page 7: External Power Amplifier
External power amplifier Your REDGUM amplifier comes with ‘Preamp Out’ sockets. This allows the amplifier’s pre-amp stage to be connected to an external power amplifier if desired. To do this, connect your REDGUM amplifier’s outputs marked Left/Right Pre-amp Out to the corresponding Left/Right Pre-amp Inputs on the external power amplifier using high quality RCA interconnects. -
Page 8: How To Use Your Redgum Amplifier
How to use your REDGUM amplifier At the front of your amplifier is an on/off switch, and three controls - two rotary controls and a fixed input control. The switch enables the remote control data, and the controls indicate the input source, or adjust the volume, thereby achieving the Dual Mono balance. - Page 9 Why do I hear sounds when turning my amplifier on and of? Instead of a very intrusive relay in the speaker line to mask these noises, you can expect to hear sounds from your loudspeakers when turning your REDGUM amplifier on and off for a listening session. (N.B. These are different sounds to the first “boot up”...

Page 10: Input Source Selection
Input source selection Select your input only via the remote control handset as the display control DOES NOT ROTATE. Note To protect your equipment, always check that the volume is turned down before changing the input source. Volume and Balance control Your REDGUM amplifier's remote control is quite unique as it uses Dual Mono volume controls. - Page 11 Using your unique Dual Mono remote control...

Page 14: Your Listening Room
Your listening room Strange as this may sound, the room itself will have a profound affect on how your audio system responds. In fact, many experts consider the room to be as important to the sound as any other component in your system! Did you ever notice how it’s difficult to talk in some restaurants because you can’t hear each other over all the other conversations... -
Page 15: Other Helpful Hints
Other helpful hints Corrosion and sound system terminals Atmospheric corrosion can build up on speaker cable and interconnect terminals over time. Should this occur, removing and re-inserting wires and cables will improve the contact and hence the quality of signal transmission. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting
If the problem persists, please see your local REDGUM Audio dealer. Stand-by Power consumption Should I leave my amplifier powered on all the time, or is it better to turn it off at the power point after each listening session? There is no technical basis to insist on either action. - Page 17 Lost key Lost keys can be replaced, as information is kept on file at the REDGUM factory about every product we manufacture. If you provide us with the Serial Number of your product (look under the amplifier, on the carton, or on the final test report included in the product manual), we can provide you with another key.
- Page 18 Circuit breaker rocker switch Additional protection for your equipment is built into all REDGUM amplifiers in the form of a Circuit Breaker. Found on the rear panel of the chassis, it is a red rocker switch with RESET and OFF positions. In the (unlikely) event of a power overload or an internal malfunction, the Circuit Breaker on the rear will activate (‘trip’).
