Balanced XLR input and operation
The balanced mode can only be used if the preamplifier has a balanced output. In order to use the
balanced XLR- input, turn off the amplifier, and remove the shorting plugs from the XLR
inputs.
Use an XLR interconnect with GND on pin 1, + on pin 2 and - on pin 3.

Operating instructions:
How to turn on your system
You should always turn on your equipment in this order: Signal source devices (CD, tuner, etc) and
preamplifier is turned on first. Allow 30 seconds of preheating before you turn on your power
amplifier.When turning your system off, you should start by switching off your power amplifier, then the
preamplifier, and finally your signal source devices
After switching on the power amplifier, there will be a 5 seconds delay before the speakers are
connected. This will prevent large turn on/off transients to reach the speakers.

Replacing a blown main fuse:
Always remove the AC cord from the Inlet
The main fuse is located inside a small drawer in the AC inlet of the unit. If, for some reason the fuse
blows, turn the unit off, and remove the AC cord from the inlet.
Open the drawer with a small screwdriver and remove the broken fuse. The spare fuse is located in
the hole in front of the main fuse. Push the new fuse gently out of the hole, and place it in correct
position (where the blown fuse was removed). Push the drawer gently back to the closed position,
connect the power cord and turn the unit on.
Never replace a blown fuse with other values than printed on the unit.

Warning:
The amplifier will be warm.
Due to the high class A operating point used in the Electrocompaniet design, it is normal that the
amplifier feels warm. Proper ventilation will be needed, and the amplifier should not be covered in. A
good rule is to allow 1 - 2 inches of air sidewise, and 2 - 3 inches above the amplifier.
If placing the amplifier on the floor, be aware of carpets that can obstruct the ventilation underneath
the amplifier.
