Front Panel
Controls
Mode Button
The Ready/Operational mode button (1) controls whether the StellarGold Preamplifier is in
Operational mode (illuminated) or Ready (dark) mode. The Ready mode is designed to keep
power on to critical internal circuitry, including power supply capacitors, thermally sensitive
semiconductors and integrated circuits.
Press the button to select ready or operational mode. In Ready mode, the display and outputs
are turned off, but all critical internal circuitry remains active.
If you wish to conserve energy consumed by Stellar Gold Preamp, it will be necessary to use the rear
panel power switch. Using this rear panel switch will remove power from critical components. In
order to gain maximum performance levels, you will need to turn the power on at least 1 hour before
use.

Restart

Should the preamp need to be rebooted, use the rear panel power switch to power cycle the unit. It's
best to wait 30 seconds before powering back on.

Volume

The volume level is shown on the display panel (4). Turn the volume control knob (5) right or left
to adjust the volume level. The displayed level ranges from 0 to 100.

Input Selection

To select an input, execute a quick press of the menu button (2) to the left of the display.
Continue pressing until you land on the input you want (RCA 1 or 2, XLR 1 or 2). Alternatively,
you can use the remote.
