Thank you for purchasing the CAN from ZEN series. The CAN is a
balanced audio amplifier.
1. Power switch
This is the power switch.
2. Input channel switch
Use the button to choose between the following input options:
Input 1: RCA
Input 2: Single-ended 3.5mm
Input 3: Balanced 4.4mm
3. Gain selection: 0dB/6dB/12dB/18dB
Always st art from 0dB and then increase the gain level to attain an
enjoyable and comfortable level of volume from the headphones.
Warning: at the outset do not use excessive gain, otherwise damage to hearing
or connected headphones may ensue. AMR/ iFi audio Is not responsible for any
damage/injury from misuse.
4. Analogue Volume Control
At normal listening levels, the volume control should be around the 12
o'clock position. Increase the gain level to enjoy a higher listening level.
5. Single-ended 6.3mm output
For connecting single-ended 6.3mm headphones. With single-ended
3.5mm headphones. connect with a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter.
6. Balanced 4.4mm analogue output
For co nnecting balanced 4.4mm hea dpho nes.
Tip: As ZEN CAN is balanced, we recommend the 4.4mm output.
7. XBass 9 LED
XBass• (On/Off) was uniquely designed to extend bass response
to suit different headphones. It is a pure analogue signal circuit.
8. 3D • Matrix LED
Th e 30• Matrix (on/off) recreates a holographic sound field.
It is a pure analogue signal processing circuit designed for
listening t o headphones as if o ne was listening to speakers. This
addresses the 'music inside the head' sensation, which makes
for unsettling listening.
Tip: Sonically-hindering DSP is NOT used for XBoss• nor JD• Matrix systems. They
use the highest-quality discrete components and operate purely in the analogue
domain. Hence all the clarity and resolution of the original music is retained.
