IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read all of the following instructions carefully before operating your Cadenza. This product contains no user serviceable parts.

INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the VIOLA Cadenza Preamplifier. Great care has gone into the design and manufacture of the Cadenza and if properly used, it will give a lifetime of musical enjoyment. We strongly recommend that you read these instructions before you attempt to use the unit, so that you can be sure it is set up to give optimum performance.
If the setting on your unit is not correct, contact your VIOLA dealer. Only a VIOLA approved technician should change the voltage setting. Do not attempt to do this yourself. Should you set the unit to the wrong voltage, you risk personal injury and you may also cause serious damage to the unit which will void the warranty.
