(1) Installation recommended by QUALIA & Co. The INDIGO PHONO AMPLIFIER Main Units are monophonic. Install the two units separately on a shelf of a rigid rack if possible. Install the Power Supply separately from the Main Units. Main Unit Power Supply (2) When installing this equipment on a middle shelf of a rack When one unit needs to be installed on top of the other unit, place a wooden or resin spacer between the main unit...
Connection of Power Cable WARNING Note: Be sure to connect the power cable before connecting the AC power cord. Connecting cables in an incorrect order may damage the Main Unit and result in an electric shock. Be sure to connect the cables as described below. Connect the power cable into the POWER OUT (LEFT) socket on the Power Supply with the red dot on the Fisher connector facing up.
Disconnection of Power Cable 1. Set the Power switch on the Power Supply to OFF. 2. Disconnect the AC power cord from the power outlet on the wall (or power strip). 3. While supporting the Main Unit with one hand, hold and pull the latching sleeve of the Fisher connector of the power cable using the other hand.
Connection (Input) ● When connecting a cable, confirm that the power cable is not connected. Connecting a cable with the power on may damage the Main Unit and the equipment to be connected, which may result in an electric shock. ●...
Connection (Output) CAUTION ● When connecting a cable, confirm that the power cable is not connected. Connecting a cable with the power on may damage the Main Unit and the equipment to be connected, which may result in an electric shock. ●...
WARNING ● Connection of AC Power Cord ● Before connecting the AC power cord, confirm that cables are properly connected to input/output terminals and the Power switch is set to OFF once again. ● Do not place heavy articles on the power cord. Confirm that the cord is not crushed under this equipment.
● Basic Operation CAUTION ● Before turning on the power, confirm that cables are properly connected once again. ● Before turning on the power, be sure to confirm that the volume of the preamplifier is lowered to the minimum. Turning on the equipment with the volume up may damage the speakers. (1) Turn on the power of the preamplifier or pre main amplifier.
(3) Set the input selector of the preamplifier to the position of a device that the INDIGO PHONO is connected to. (4) Set the volume to a desired level. Note: When the air is dry, release static electricity to the rack or something else. Then, operate the arm of the turntable and play the record.
● When humming noise or other noise is generated ● There are many possible causes of humming noise or other noise. The INDIGO PHONO is a wide-band amplifier. It is sensitive to high-frequency noise generated on the power supply and digital noise generated on line cables. These noises are generated by various factors. ●...
