Basic Hookup:
1)
Connect a volume-controlled line-level source to the input RCA
2)
Connect loudspeaker cables to the five-way binding posts on Standard 220’s 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.
3)
Set the output impedance selector switch to match the impedance of your loudspeaker.
4)
Connect the AC power cord to the IEC connector on Standard 220’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)
Allow Standard 220 to warm up for a few minutes, then adjust output tube bias. (See
“Output Tube Bias Adjustment”, below)
6)
Adjust the front panel FEEDBACK control for the best subjective sound quality with your
speaker and room.
