match your speaker’s impedance (2, 4, or 8 ohms).
Note: The line stage of the Avatar Super inverts absolute phase. If you are concerned
about absolute phase, you may correct for this by inverting your loudspeaker
connections, i.e., connect the positive speaker lead to the “G” terminal, and the
negative speaker lead to “2”, “4”, or “8”.
4) Connect the AC power cord to the IEC connector on Avatar Super’s rear panel.
ALWAYS connect power cord to component before plugging it into an AC outlet,
and make sure that unit’s power switch is set to the “off” position before making the
final connection. For best performance, try to route the power cord away from signal
cables.
5) Mute is automatically engaged when switching on the Avatar Super.
6) Allow Avatar Super to warm up for a few minutes, then adjust output tube bias. (See
“Output Tube Bias Adjustment”, below)
As with all high performance audio products, the sonic characteristics of all VAC products
will continue to improve during the first several hundred hours of use.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
The Avatar Super may be set to run from 100, 120, 220, or 240 volt ac power sources. If
your local voltage is between these, select the one just higher than your local voltage. For
example, if your power is at 230 volts, set Avatar Super for 240 volts, not 220 volts.
Voltage is set by means of the voltage configuration card, located behind the main fuse. The
setting is indicated by the number which is visible on the installed card.
THE FUSE MUST MATCH THAT SPECIFIED FOR YOUR LOCAL POWER !
