Angel 6 User Manual Congratulations on your purchase of the Angel 6 power amplifier. It has been designed and manufactured to provide many years of trouble-free musical enjoyment. To get the best out of your amplifier, please read this manual carefully and take into account the guidance on positioning, airflow and cabling.
Page 2: Before You Start
We strongly recommend switching off the Angel 6 and waiting for 30 seconds before moving the amplifier or any other hi-fi components, or before moving or adjusting any cables in the whole installation.
Page 3: Installation Recommendations
Any rack system or enclosure for the Angel 6 must have an open back and front to allow airflow circulation to-and-from the room. You must not use the amplifier in an enclosed cabinet.

Page 5: Which Input To Choose
3.2 Input Switch Selection Once you’ve chosen RCA or XLR input connections for your system, you need to set the Angel 6 to use the correct input. On the back panel below the RCA input on each side, you will find the two switches for the input selection.
Page 6: Speaker Wiring
Speaker wiring This is a widely debated hi-fi subject, with a plethora of widely differing opinions and expert conclusions. But we’re prepared to dip a toe in the water and present a few opinions from our own experience. Make sure to have clean terminations with no stray copper strands to potentially short out to a nearby terminal.
Page 7: Standby Operation
5.1 Using Standby with the Angel-Pre pre-amp When you put the Angel-Pre into standby (by front panel switch or remote), the Angel 6 will shut down 5 seconds later and go to standby mode. In this mode it consumes less than 0.5W of power.
Page 8: Repeated Power Or Standby Cycles
Note: The Angel 6 can only count down the time when it is switched ON. If you switch off the Angel 6 while it is counting and showing the Power Cycle Error, next time you switch the amplifier on it will show the Power Cycle Error and resume the countdown.
Page 9: Logo Display Warnings
(reddish/purple – we’ll call it red) to signal warning or fault conditions. 8.1 Output limit Warning The Angel 6 is capable of driving high sound levels without the characteristic ‘hardening up’ of the sound you get from most amplifiers. This means it could reach clipping levels without much audible warning.
Page 10: Power Cycle Error
at least 10 seconds before you re-apply power in order to cancel the error condition, but this warning should not be ignored. When you see the overload error, you should leave the mains switched off, and check the speaker cables (including amplifier and speaker connections) for any problem which could be causing the overload condition –...
