  • Page 3: Introduction

    These features coupled with Polypropylene capacitors (used throughout the signal path), improved power supplies, increased output power to 100 Watts per channel all housed in a brand new custom Rega designed case, combine to give the best performance Elicit to date.

  • Page 4: Design Innovation

    100Watts per channel. The Elicit- has been built to Rega’s fastidious standards of reliability and quality to ensure many years of musical enjoyment. The primary function of an amplifier is to boost and equalize the low level signal generated by a phono cartridge, CD player or other source component to a level that can drive the loudspeakers.
  • Page 5 DESIGN INNOVATION continued A few extravagantly priced, exotic high-end amplifiers have used volume controls with a few dozen switched resistors to alter volume levels. The Elicit- uses a custom chip which contains 1024 resistors which alter volume and simultaneously retain correct input impedance. Only the resistors operate in the audio/music circuit.

  • Page 6: Installation & Ventilation

    If possible, place it to the left of the turntable. Keep other equipment away from the amplifier. Due to the layout of Rega’s amplifier circuit designs, they are virtually insusceptible to electro magnetic interference, and by virtue of the case, emit practically no electro magnetic radiation.

  • Page 7: Rear Panel Connectivity

    REAR PANEL CONNECTIVITY Line Inputs 2 to 5- The line inputs enable the connection of sources, such as a CD, DAC, tuner, DVD or Blu-ray player for use with an Audio Visual system. Inputs 2-5 can be used for a DAC, tuner (suitable for use with most types of AM/FM and DAB tuners) and can also be used as a CD input, suitable for use with any CD, Blu-ray and DVD source.
  • Page 8 REAR PANEL CONNECTIVITY Record Input and Output- This is a line level input and output intended for use with a recording device such as a CD/DVD recorder, MD, tape cassette machine or sound card. Selecting the record function on the amplifier front panel enables the input. This input is completely independent to inputs 1-5 and can be used to monitor the record function and quality without affecting the source being recorded.

  • Page 9: Phono Line Input

    ‘line level’ source. However, if connecting an external phono stage (such as the Rega Fono or Aria) it is recommended to use this input as it incorporates isolated grounding to reduce noise and will improve performance.
  • Page 10 PHONO LINE INPUT 1 / continued If you are using an external phono pre-amplifier, similar to a Rega Fono MM or Aria, use the (line 1, button pressed ‘in’) input sockets on the right. IMPORTANT Do not connect a line level source or external phono amplifier to the phono sockets on the left, as this is a low-level dedicated turntable &...

    Powering Up- Depressing the power switch to the left of the control panel turns on the amplifier. The Rega logo will glow red. After several seconds you may hear a gentle click, indicating that the switch-on relay has been released and the amplifier is ready for use.

  • Page 12: Volume Control & Led Dimmer Function

    VOLUME CONTROL The volume of the amplifier can be adjusted using the volume control knob on the amplifier and via the remote control handset. The volume level is controlled via a microprocessor, which in turn takes its information from the volume control knob digital encoder on the front panel or the remote control handset.

  • Page 13: Thermal Cut-Out & Dc Protection

    If it occurs under normal conditions, there could be a problem with insufficient airflow around the heat sinks or a fault with the loudspeakers. In this case it is advisable to contact your Rega dealer. One of the design requirements of the Elicit-...

  • Page 14: Operating Temp & Short Circuit Protection

    OPERATING TEMPERATURE & SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION Recommended Ambient operating temperature 5 to 35°C. Allow adequate air circulation around the heat sinks on the left and right hand sides, as these are the heat sinks for the power amplifier and will run hot with high listening levels.

  • Page 15: Remote Control

    The Solaris system remote (supplied) is a system remote handset. It allows you to operate all the various remote controllable functions of this and many other Rega products. (Batteries included - 2 x AAA Alkaline) RC CODE : Phillips RC5 system number 16 audio pre-amplifier.
