- Page 5 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this Audio Note (UK) product. With the correct care it should give you many years of pleasure and enjoyment. Please take the time to read all of the information in this manual before connecting your new component to an electrical supply or your system, to ensure both your safety and satisfaction.
- Page 6 EMPRESS MONO POWER AMPLIFIERS Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) EMPRESS mono power amplifiers. They are Pure Class A Parallel Singled Ended valve amplifiers that use a pair of the highly regarded 2A3 triode valves per channel, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the vast majority of current designs.
- Page 7 VALVE INSTALLATION The amplifiers are shipped without their valve compliment installed. It is necessary to install the valves before operation. It is essential that the valves are installed correctly or serious damage that is not covered by the warranty will result. We recommend that your dealer perform this procedure for you if you are in any way unsure.
- Page 8 Mains The EMPRESS are equipped with an IEC 320 mains inlet socket for each amplifier. Use the supplied mains cables to connect the units to the local mains supply. The mains fuse and a spare are located in the inlet socket fuse drawer.
- Page 9 Once all the connections are completed and checked, ensure that the volume control of your preamplifier / source is at the minimum setting. Turn on all components in the signal chain BEFORE the EMPRESS; they should always be the LAST components to be switched ON, and the FIRST to be switched OFF.
