Unpacking: The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new amplifier were specially designed to protect it from the shock and vibration of shipping. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials to use if you move, or if the unit ever needs to be shipped back to us for any reason. Should you discover that your amplifier has been damaged during shipping, please contact your dealer or Knoll immediately and request the name of the carrier so a written claim can be made.

The right to a claim against a public carrier can be forfeited if the carrier is not notified immediately in writing and if the shipping carton and packing materials are not available for inspection by the carrier. Save all packing materials until the claim is settled.

During normal home operation the amplifier will become warm. However, there are instances during high-level playback into low impedance speakers when the amplifier will become much warmer than normal. To ensure the amplifier’s trouble-free operation, it is necessary to provide adequate ventilation. Your amplifier should be kept away from external sources of heat such as radiators and hot-air ducts. The amplifier should never be placed with other heat-producing components in a cabinet or enclosure lacking free airflow. Do not stack other components on top of your amplifier.

Connecting your amplifier

When making connections between any source components and the amplifier, or when making connections to any speaker, be certain that both the input devices and the amplifier are turned off. Unplug all equipment before making any connections so that there will be no unwanted signal transients that can damage equipment or speakers.

Input connections

Connecting the CI6 to your source equipment is straightforward. Using the high- quality RCA audio interconnect cables, match the output channel designations on the rear of your source equipment to the input jacks on the rear panel of your amplifier that have the same channel name. When making connections with RCA type plugs on interconnect cables, make certain to gently, but firmly, insert the plug into the jack. Loose connections can cause intermittent sound and may damage your speakers. Some quality RCA plugs may be very tight, and it is important to secure a proper connection between the interconnection cable and the input jack.
