- Page 2 Decware transformers, a self-biasing circuit with a bias meter for each output tube. Like the famous SE84C 2 watt Decware amplifier, this is a purist built product with the absolute minimum number of parts and solder nodes. Between the input and output jacks there is only 1 capacitor, 2 resistors and our premium output transformers made from the finest US gain oriented silicon steel.
- Page 3 O W N E R S M A N U A L TUBES - output The SE34I.6 uses a single EL34/6CA7 output tube per channel. These are the larger ones on either side of the power transformer. They are run with modest voltages for increased life and better tone.
- Page 4 274B. There are different manufactures and different types of 274B rectifier tubes. Of the ones we’ve examined, they all required no more than a 10uf capacitor in the first section of the power supply. Decware High Fidelity Engineering Co., East Peoria IL, USA www.decware.com...
- Page 5 O W N E R S M A N U A L BIASING and METERS The SE34I.6 is a self biasing, self balancing design meaning there is never a need to adjust the bias of the output tubes. The amp does it for you. It also insures that you get matched output power from each channel even if the tubes are not matched.
- Page 6 6N2P the volume control will typically reach 1/2 way up before clipping. SPEAKER BINDING POSTS - IMPEDANCE SWITCHES The SE34I.6 features heavy duty (almost bomb-proof) connectors for the speaker wires. They are the standard 5-way posts with standard spacing. They accept banana jacks, large spades, or bare wire up to 10 AWG in thickness.

first amp embedded into the signal feeding it. That ensures the signature of the SE34I.6 is carried through to the other amplifiers. INPUT JACKS If you have all four input jacks on your amplifier the selector switch will start with the... - Page 8 Since the output transformer is the only component your hearing other than the two resistors and one capacitor inside the SE34I.6 it should become obvious that this is a critical component relative to the overall fidelity of the amplifier. And given that, the quality of the power transformer and power supply in general is at the heart of the amplifiers performance.
- Page 9 O W N E R S M A N U A L LOUDSPEAKERS / EARSPEAKERS The SE34I.6 is designed to have its maximum power into 8 ohm speakers. That does not rule out all 4 or 6 ohm speakers or 12 and 16 ohm speakers. It simply means that statistically it will work best with around 8 ohms.
- Page 10 It will come completely out of the IEC connector and not only holds the fuse, but has a spare fuse in it as well. Decware High Fidelity Engineering Co., East Peoria IL, USA www.decware.com...

Page 12: Sound Quality
Decware amplifiers are a benchmark for holographic sound where the music is completely 3D. In fact many people who watched movies using a two channel Decware amplifier thought there were 5 speakers playing. That said, give yourself a chance to experience it by occasionally pulling your speakers out into the room, several feet away from the walls. -
Page 13: Warranty
Statistically 50% of all amps sent here for repair have nothing wrong with them. We can often head this off at the pass by consulting you over the phone and helping you to troubleshoot the problem. Decware amps are built to outlast you.
