INSERTION OF THE TUBES

1.Using the screwdriver supplied, remove the cover of the Amp 1. For your convenience, only two of the screws are installed at the factory.

2.When handling the tubes, it is recommended that the cotton gloves provided be worn to prevent skin oils from depositing on the glass surface and possibly causing the tube to become prematurely “gassy”, thereby shortening the tube’s useful operating life.

3.Noting the location of the tube sockets in the top view photo, inspect the tubes for corresponding labels and markings. Once locations are mapped, take a tube and inspect the pins, noting the larger space between two of the pins (see Figure 2). This space will match with the socket. Insert each tube into the appropriate tube socket, making sure all pins and pin holes are aligned. Do not force the tubes into the sockets. “Rock” the tubes gently while pushing slowly until each tube is firmly seated.

Before plugging in the Amp 1, check to see that the unit is configured for the correct AC line voltage for country of use. The operating AC line voltage is indicated on the side of the shipping box. If the Amp 1 is set incorrectly for the country in which it is to be operated, contact the dealer or distributor in your area. If the unit is configured properly, continue with operation.

Connect the Detachable Power Cord to the Amp 1 AC Power Cord Socket (H) (see Figure 4). Plug your Amp 1 into the AC power source.

Connect loudspeakers to the appropriate post as described in the connection section of this manual.

The two remaining connections are made with co-axial cable and RCA connectors to a suitable Preamplifier such as the Anthem Pre 1.

Connect the pre amp to the Amp 1 Inputs (E); left channel to left channel and right channel to right channel.

The Amp 1 is now ready for operation. Power the Amp 1 by placing the On-Off button (G) in the ON position. The tubes will take approximately 30 seconds to warm up and then the Amp 1 is functional.

Note the larger space between two of the pins and holes for proper alignment of tube and socket.
