GENERAL
Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note R Zero/II phono stage.
The R Zero/II provides outstanding performance as an additional unit for line level
playback systems, is of a compact size and represents excellent value.
Please read over this manual carefully in order to obtain the best possible performance
and longevity from the phono stage.
UNPACKING & INSTALLATION
We recommend that you store the packaging materials in case the unit requires shipping
at a later date. Also, check that no transit damage has occurred before installing the phono
stage.
Next, select a suitable location for the unit, not next to any large mains unit or damp
areas.
Worthwhile improvements may be obtained by locating the pre amplifier on a support
system specifically designed to reduce and absorb any vibrations.
AFTER CARE
Cleaning: No special maintenance is required for the R Zero/II. A soft cloth or brush similar to
those sold by photographic stores for lens cleaning applications is best used for cleaning.
Use a cloth lighty dampened with a mildly warm, weak soap solution to clean off grease
or oily substances. Strong or alcohol based solvents may damage the finish of this amplifier.
Tube replacement:
The vacuum tubes used in the R Zero/II should provide about ten years of
continuous operation.
Audio Note has taken considerable care in selecting and matching vacuum tubes specially
for the R Zero/II, and so we recommend that you contact your Audio Note dealer, who will be
able to provide the correct tube should replacement be required.
CONNECTIONS:
Use the supplied mains cable to connect the phono stage to the mains supply, ensuring
that the plug is firmly inserted to the mains input socket.
