Basic Hookup:
1) Connect a volume-controlled line-level source to either the input RCA connector for ‘single-
ended’ sources or the input XLR connector for balanced sources. Set the front switch to
reflect the connection used.
2) Connect loudspeaker cables to the five-way binding posts on the rear panel. Make sure that
all connections are tight (Do NOT over tighten, or damage to amplifier or speaker cable may
result), and that heavy or bulky cables are properly strain-relieved.
4) Connect the AC power cord to the IEC connector on the 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) Set the TEST switch to “1” (ON) to illuminate the four front LED’s. Watch them as the
amplifier warms up, adjusting output tube bias as necessary. (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.
