NOTE – Unlike many solid state preamplifiers, the Metis should be turned off when not in use. To prolong tube life, turn off the unit when not in use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Speaker hum

If hum can be heard from more than a few inches from the loudspeaker, there is probably a ground loop. Be sure to have the amp and preamp plugged into the same outlet if possible. If this fails to cure the hum, call customer service at Rogue Audio for further advice.
