Schiit Asgard 3 Modular Continuity Owner's Manual page 4

CONTROLS
1 Vents. Asgard 3 runs 500mW of Class A bias
(for 32 ohm loads), so it runs plenty warm. Don't
block these vents, and don't spill your Chardonnay
in them, either. Nor coffee. Nor Coke. Or let your
cat throw up in it. You get the basic idea, right?
2 Volume Knob. Turn it to the right to make
the music louder. Stop before it hurts. Or your
headphones smoke. Seriously.
3 Gain Switch. Up is high gain. Down is low gain.
No surprises here. Use low gain for sensitive
headphones—that is, if you hear hiss or don't have
enough volume control range.

4 Input Switch. Up selects the module input (DAC
or phono). That is, if you have a module. If you
don't have a module, up doesn't do anything.
Down selects the rear panel analog RCA inputs.

5 Headphone Jack. Plug your headphones in here.
115VAC 30W
There ain't no fancy balanced or fake-balanced
connectors on this amp—it delivers full power
through a standard 1/4" jack. If you have 1/8" jack
headphones, get an adapter.
Note: Plugging in headphones mutes
the preamp outputs.
