  • Page 3: Safety Instructions

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Never push anything into holes or slots in the case - this could result in an electric shock and could cause damage of the set. Never guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind - it is better to be safe than sorry.

    A CD player in repeat mode can speed up the process while you are not at home. Do not play too loud. After this break-in period is over, simply switch the GamuT on when you get home, and it will be ready to perform at its best after dinner.
  • Page 5: Sensitivity (Gain)

    Your dealer can set them for you, so that you get the best match for your preampli er. To match a passive "preampli er" like our GamuT control unit, the gain has to be high, so set both switches to "o ". Some preampli ers also need maximum gain, others have a lot of gain in their output section and therefore should be used with the -6 dB or -12 dB switch moved away from "o ".

    GamuT power ampli er, because it will simply mute. In the GamuT D200i, we use a gem of a MOSFET transistor. It handles 500 Watts, and a peak current of 500 Ampere and 100 Ampere longterm.

    So far, our oldest ampli ers from 1982 still work in professional recording studios, often doing their job 16 or 24 hours a day. So we expect our GamuT ampli ers to do likewise. A more likely cause for change would be your wish to upgrade in some years time. Here our modular approach serves to keep the upgrade cost low, and you avoid sell¬ing with a loss on...

    Changing the fuse more than once can increase the repair price, and you can cause a re or a deadly electrical shock. These sand lled types can break up to 1000 Ampere current, a normal slow blow fuse can only break 35 Ampere, so it may not stop the current! If you have light on the front panel and only one channel is playing sound, then take its input cable, and put it into the quiet channel.

    A few useful speci cations: Shipping weight is 31 kg. Dimensions are 164 mm high, 431 mm wide, and 470 mm deep. Idle power consumption is 100 Watts. The slow blow mains fuse limits power consumption at 1,150 Watts long-term. Output power in 8 Ohms resistive load is 200 Watts or 23dbW.

    Recommended CDs This is a list some of the recordings that have been used to evaluate the sound quality of this ampli er. The LP version can be superior, but it is di cult to obtain. Most recording engineers today try to make the music sound ne on the cheapest stereo systems, simply because they are in majority and thus brings more sales of CDs.
  • Page 11 Warner Bros. 7599-27313-2, Fleetwood Mac, “Rumours” Many excellent tracks, "Oh Daddy" being one of the best. It was a huge bestseller, nice to see that quality is rewarded by the public. It has some threedimensional qualities, which normally is a nonexistent feature in rock or pop recordings.
