INTRODUCTION / INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of an A5 DAB/FM Tuner and remote control.
This tuner is is designed to bring DAB into the realms of hi fidelity sound reproduction with the smooth sound of valves to complement the very latest technology DAB/FM receiver circuit. To this end, a pair of 6922 dual triodes, (one per channel) are incorporated into the LINE OUT stages which themselves have vanishingly low noise and distortion and output impedance is low.
Great attention has been paid to internal layout, isolating each circuit section to prevent possible interaction.
The resultant performance achieved by this tuner is among the best in the world. It has excellent signal / noise ratio, low distortion, wide bandwidth, huge dynamic range and extraordinary resolution of fine detail.
To cater for later upgrades, both DAB and FM are available from the optical and coaxial digital outputs for connection to an external DAC of your choice
INSTALLATION
Position the tuner on a stable, horizontal surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or subjected to vibration.
All input, output and power connections should be made with the mains power switched OFF.
AUDIO CONNECTION
The tuner should be connected to a suitable
Do not use any amplifier sockets intended for “vinyl” phono cartridge input, as the sensitive circuit will overload, producing a severely distorted sound.
If desired, the unit can be attached to an external DAC of your choice. The unit outputs COAX and OPTICAL digital signal stream at 48kHz.
NOTE: The digital output works for both DAB and FM bands.
AERIAL (ANTENNA)
For ease of installation, a
The aerial is plugged into the
However, if FM stereo background noise is obtrusive, radio text is corrupted or DAB cut- out is experienced, or unit is to be used in a fringe area, a rooftop DAB and FM aerial may be required, please contact an approved aerial contractor with good local knowledge.
CLEANING
Before cleaning the tuner, switch off power at the mains switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth. We do not advise using solvents, white spirit or thinners as they could damage the surface finish.
