Operating the 430HA
We recommend leaving your Nēo 430HA powered
up at all times to maintain optimal performance.
When you plan on being away for a few days, it may
not be a bad idea to power off your preamplifier.
Please keep in mind that once fully “broken-in”, your
430HA requires several hours of operation before
reaching optimal performance after powering it up
again.
Turning on your Nēo 430HA for the first time
Prior to turning the headphone amplifier on for the
first time, make sure that every cable is properly
connected to avoid any problems. Flick the main
rocker switch, located on the rear panel, labeled
“POWER” to the ‘1’ (on) position to place your
430HA in to standby mode. Next, briefly press the
push button labeled “Standby” located on the front
panel. You will hear a very faint click sound
confirming that everything is in order. The blue LED
on the front panel will illuminate, indicating that the
430HA is now powered up and ready for use.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps”
and “pops”) emanate from your headphones when
powering your 430HA on or off, you should always
power up your source component(s) (CD, DAC,
Streaming Device) prior to powering up your
430HA. As well, always power down your 430HA
before powering down your source component(s).
