Now that you’ve heard the story of the Australian river red gum, it’s time to listen to your very own REDGUM. We’ve carefully selected and lovingly crafted each piece before coupling it to some of the finest audio engineering that money can buy. The results? Stunning! Trust us, you...
If you need to repack your amplifier at a future time, replacement packaging is available from REDGUM Audio at a nominal charge. Contact REDGUM Audio Pty Ltd via the website.
Connecting your amplifier to other components For safety reasons, always ensure that your amplifier and other components are turned off and disconnected from mains power before making any connections. Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock and/or damage to your equipment. Loudspeakers The loudspeaker terminals at the rear of your amplifier are colour coded red (+) and black (-).
Therefore, any unused inputs may be used by other components. If you wish to connect a Turntable, you will need to purchase a separate phono pre-amplifier. REDGUM Audio produces a stand-alone phono pre- amplifier. If in any doubt, consult your dealer.
External power amplifier Your REDGUM amplifier comes with ‘Preamp Out’ sockets. This allows the amplifier’s pre-amp stage to be connected to an external power amplifier if desired. To do this, connect your REDGUM amplifier’s left/right Pre- amp Out outputs to the corresponding left/right pre-amp inputs on the external power amplifier using high quality RCA interconnects.
How to use your REDGUM amplifier At the front of your amplifier is an on/off switch, and three rotary controls. These are used to turn the amplifier on and off, select the input source, and adjust the volume and balance.

Why do I hear sounds when turning my amplifier on and off? You can expect to hear sounds from your loudspeakers when turning your REDGUM amplifier on and off. Usually, you will hear a slight ‘pop’ sound when turning on, and a couple of low 'thunk' sounds when turning off.
Always make sure that the volume is turned down before changing the input source, to protect your equipment. Volume and balance control REDGUM amplifiers are available in two versions – single or dual volume control. If your model has a single volume control, the left rotary control affects the volume and the middle rotary control affects the balance between the speakers.
The angle (toe-in) of the speakers At REDGUM Audio we recommend a 30 degree angle between the speakers. This provides a strong central image, and suitable 'timing' to provide good rear projection for home theatre. You should experiment,...
Your listening room Strange as this may sound, the room itself will have a profound affect on how your audio system responds. In fact, many experts consider the room to be as important to the sound as any other component in your system! Did you ever notice how it’s difficult to talk in some restaurants because you can’t hear each other over all the other conversations going on...
While few of us will feel the need to redesign a room to improve its sonic properties, sometimes a small change, like placing a rug on the floor, can make a big improvement to the sound. Other helpful hints Corrosion and sound system terminals Atmospheric corrosion can build up on speaker cable and interconnect terminals over time.
You can do this by borrowing a CD player and speakers that you are certain are working, and replace your normal components with these to test the amplifier in isolation. If the problem persists, please see your local REDGUM Audio dealer.
Lost Keys Lost keys can be replaced, as information is kept on file at the REDGUM factory about every product we manufacture.
