    INSTALLATION AND POSITION This amplifier should be positioned on a flat stable surface. We would recommend that the position of your hi-fi equipment should be chosen carefully to provide adequate protection for this device, but also provide an attractive showcase for your investment. Hi-fi equipment is not designed to be moved often, therefore it is recommended that a permanent home for your hi-fi be achieved as soon as is possible.

  • Page 7: Using The Amplifier

    USING THE AMPLIFIER When you unpack the amplifi er from the box, all music settings will be at default values. These can be altered according to your listening tastes; these new settings will be retained within the memory of the amplifi er and will remain set even after switchiing off this system.
  • Page 8: Bass Control

    VOLUME CONTROL DEFAULT SETTING The default setting for the user interface control is the ‘volume’ setting. This will be displayed on line one of the LCD display as a numeric dB value. Note: dB values are a professional indication of the amplitude of an audio signal with full or maximum output achieved normally at 0dB.
  • Page 9: Treble Control

    TREBLE CONTROL This amplifi er is fi tted with a treble control which offers +/-14dB attenuation around the centre frequency of 10Khz, and 6dB across the frequency range of 2Khz to 20Khz. To alter this treble control press the function button (9) twice to change the LCD display from bass control to treble control.
  • Page 10: Loudness Control

    LOUDNESS CONTROL This amplifi er is fi tted with a loudness control which provides a boost to lower frequencies at lower listening volumes. This creates the effect of increasing the perceived amount of bass / mid content in the music when playing the amplifi er at a lower level. This control is effective on frequencies between 20Hz and 800Hz and its effect decreases as the amplifi er volume level is increased.
