  • Page 3 Thank you for purchasing the MAESTRO ! The MAESTRO is a direct descendant of the critically acclaimed spa1 headphones amplifier. Serving the demands of discerning headphone aficionados, the unit was designed for an outstanding listening experience with any type of dynamic and planar- magnetic headphones.
  • Page 4 Controls and connections - front XLR <-> Headphone Power (on/off) switch: the <-> Mute <-> on/off switch disconnects input Line - output the unit from the DC select select switch power supply when switch switched off. Volume control knob IR – IR –...
  • Page 5 Connections - rear Connect Left / Right output: A pair of gold plated the power RCA – connectors and second pair of supply to XLR – connectors (male) allows the the power connection of a power amplifier or inlet active speaker. Input connectors: one pair XLR (female) and one pair of RCA connectors for use as inputs.
  • Page 6 ( > 85%) should be avoided. The wall adaptor provided with the unit is connected to the MAESTRO power inlet. The line operating voltage of this high performance power supply can range from 100V – 240V. The mains plug conforms to the sockets used in the destination country.
  • Page 7 Please, do not connect a mono phone jack to the MAESTRO, since this shortens the right channel output to ground. Although rarely seen, you can connect your headphone to the MAESTRO with a 3 pin XLR jack. Both the phone jack and the 3 pin...

If the actual volume is higher then indicated by the knob, the LED will be illuminated in yellow, if it is lower, the LED will light up in green.
