V. Operation Instructions
1. Power Switch
After having connected the input to the preamplifier and the output to the
speaker, V100A
Reference amplifier can be switched on using the power switch
located on the rear panel.
If you own a VP100 Reference preamplifier, connect the BNC stand-by cable from
the preamplifier to an V100A Reference amplifier BNC input, then connect the
BNC output of this same block to the BNC input of the other channel amplifier.
Your stand-by mode can now be activated.
It is advised not to switch off the V100A Reference , to fully and instantly benefit
from its maximum musical quality. However, if you are meant to keep away for a
long time (as for holidays), or in the case of any storm risk, it is considered safe
to switch the appliance off, with the rest of your Hi-Fi elements.
2. Operations
Stand-by mode is accessible from the remote control of the VP100 Reference pre-
amplifier, or using the stand-by switch at the back. Let this switch on the auto
position if you own the VP100
Reference preamplifier. Stand-by mode allows to
reduce dramatically the energy consumption of the appliance. Once awoken
(disabling the stand-by mode), the amplifier will provide its optimum musical
quality after only 15 minutes, whereas the first operation will require more than
4 hours of warm-up (as will require any main switch-on) to reach this same
level. An amplifier under stand-by mode has its front LED lighted in RED, while
GREEN in normal mode.
At first power-on, some light buzzing sound may be heard for about a
minute within the speakers. This is due to the current initialization
within the circuits.
The V100A Reference mono block offers 2 inputs (1 unbalanced RCA and 1 bal-
anced XLR). The choice of the input is made using a switch (2-positions selector)
at the rear of the appliance.
The “unbalanced” position correspond to the RCA “Cinch” input.
The “balanced” position correspond to the XLR input.
