  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction Lyngdorf Millennium is the world's first true-digital power amplifier where digital audio data is converted directly into sound without analog amplification or conventional low-level D/A conversion involved at any step. The core technology is based on patented EQUlBlT™ processing and output modules. The Lyngdorf Millennium is a modular design, a platform for state-of-the-art music reproduction.
  • Page 8: Quick Set-Up

    Quick set-up A. Connect your speaker cables to the terminals on the back panel. The speaker impedance should be 4-16 Ohms. If the speakers can be bi-wired, use both sets of terminals. Make sure that the red (+) terminal gets connected with the corresponding positive (+) terminal on your speaker.
  • Page 9: Front Panel

    Front panel Fig 1: Millennium front panel. Controls The buttons/controls on the front panel of the Millennium can all be used either with direct presses on the front or by operating the similar keys on the included remote control. All keys on the front except from the Mains switch (1) can be found on the remote control as well.
  • Page 10: Adjusting The Volume

    Adjusting the volume The volume can be adjusted by turning the big wheel or pressing volume up/down on the remote control. The volume level is displayed in decibels (dB where 99.9dB is the maximum setting giving full power for a full-scale input from a digital source. Note that no clipping is possible.
  • Page 11: Polarity

    Polarity You can switch the polarity 180 degrees with the remote control (explained later). The display confirms the polarity with either "pos" or "neg". Mute When "Mute" is activated from the remote control the display shows "---" and the amp will be muted.

  • Page 13: Clock Gate

    Clock Gate A proprietary 5-pole XLR input is provided for a clock synchronised CD-transport, where the reference clock is controlled by the Millennium. This feature is called Clock Gate. When a compatible device is connected to the 5-pole connector (2) position D4 selects the Clock Gate input as a source.
  • Page 14: Remote Control
