Operation - Decware ZTPRE v2 Owner's Manual

O W N E R S M A N U A L
INTRODUCTION
The Zen Triode Preamplifier (ZTPRE) is a fully differential-balanced all tube preamplifier that was designed 100% for
sound quality and therefor has nearly zero features aka bells and whistles. If it were a race car, it would only have
one seat and be pretty well stripped the bone for winning races.
This is not only fully differential balanced but fully dual mono with quad power supplies. Everything inside is hand
wired point-to-point with no circuit boards using only the best parts and wires.
NOTE: This is the owner's manual for the 2024 model ZTPREv2. The only functional
difference between this and the prior model is that this one no longer has remote control of
any kind. Instead it is offered with high quality carbon volume controls or optional 48
position dual layer attenuators which favor performance over convenience.

OPERATION

The ZTPRE features a volume control for each channel to control your master volume. The output level is adjustable
with rear mounted attenuators each with 20 steps of adjustment. Simply turn these output level controls all the way
down so that no sound is heard and then raise the master volumes to the half way mark. Now slowly raise the
output level controls 1 click at a time until your amplifier / speaker combination reaches what you would call your
normal listening level.
