    Transportable Headphone Amplifier! Amplifier Break-In Your Liquid Carbon® amplifier has been tested before leaving the factory, but has very few hours on it. Most amplifiers need at least 150 hours of continuous use, playing music, to reach their full sound signatures. We recommend about the same for the Liquid Carbon®.
  • Page 4 The amp has two gain settings to help with the wide range of headphone impedances and sensitivities. The high gain is 3X and the low gain is 1X. The Liquid Carbon® circuit allows you to hot switch the gain using the front panel switch.

    Operation Your Liquid Carbon® amplifier operates over a wide variety of power conditions, 85-265VAC/50- 60Hz. 1) Insert the proper power cord. Be absolutely sure that your power cord has an approved safety ground connection from the amp to the outlet.
