PLEASE READ BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT
Welcome!
The Wright Audio Integrated Amplifiers incorporate advanced circuit characteristics and parts, which have
chosen based on sonic quality and reliability.
Please take a few moments to read this manual. Doing so will enable you to thoroughly enjoy your new
amplifier's sonic quality and fully utilize its versatility. First, a few cautions. Most are common sense, but are
here as reminders. These apply to all tube and most solid-state amplifiers and are not specific only to your
Wright Audio Amplifier.
1. Never operate the amplifier unless speakers are attached to its outputs.
2. Do not attempt to connect a subwoofer crossover / amplifier to the amplifier's speaker terminals.
Do not attach the main speakers to a subwoofer crossover plate which is marked 'Speaker Terminals'.
3. Never switch or disconnect input cables while the amplifier is on AND the volume turned up.
Doing so may damage the output tubes and your speakers.
4. Any modifications to the amplifier's circuitry or operation with other than Wright Audio recommended
tube types voids the warranty.
5. Tubes must be replaced at the end of their useful listening life, which is about 2000 hours, or
approximately every 2 to 3 years of 'average' use. Operation past this point increases the risk of
complete tube and amplifier failure. See our website for suitable replacement tubes.
6. The tubes get hot in normal operation. Touching one can result in a minor burn.
7. Do not attempt to change or remove a tube while the amplifier is on.
8. This amplifier utilizes a vacuum tube rectifier, the GZ34 / 5AR4. Whenever the amplifier has been
turned off, wait at least 5 minutes before turning the amplifier on again to allow it to cool. Not doing so
stresses the tube.
9. Always install tubes of the identical numbers as shown on the enclosed sheet, on the amplifier's top
surface or on the sticker on the amplifier's bottom plate. Inserting ANY other tube number will cause
unsatisfactory operation and will probably damage the amplifier and / or the tube. Tube numbers are
always shown on the tube and tube box.
10. Do not open the bottom cover of the amplifier. Lethal voltages exist within, even when the power
cord is disconnected from the socket. Preferably, it should be returned to Wright Audio if there is a
malfunction.
