Finally, the part that makes all of this possible is what many have been
waiting for! The new chassis is more attractive than ever while keeping the
functionality that we have come to love. A front view of the unit reveals only three
screws tucked neatly in the rear of the top cover. The front panel is meticulously
machined from a solid piece of ¾” aluminum, line grained, and anodized in black. A
radius on either side of the front panel rounds the corners off elegantly where the
extrusions extend to the rear of the unit and bare the same high quality anodized
finish. The top cover is available in clear (silver) or black anodize and has stylish
venting allowing heat to escape. Having a structure with so much forward thinking
creates a rigid product that is immune to frequencies and vibrations which can be
generated by the various components in a HiFi system.
AC Mains Voltage switch
Located on the left side of the rear panel is an AC mains switch. When
changing the two position slider switch, the ST
mkII
will need to be
unplugged and powered down for at least two minutes. It is very
important to ensure that the slide switch is in the proper position
before applying power. Failure to do so will likely result in damaging the internal
components and will not be covered under warranty.
The fuse is located above the IEC plug on the rear of the unit. It can be
inspected by sliding the fuse holder out (It has a symbol of a fuse on it).
ST-500 mkII Fuse size 5x20mm Slow Blow / T10A 250VAC
ST-1000 mkII Fuse size 5x20mm Slow Blow / T13A 250VAC
Getting connected
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord or put the power switch in the “off” position
before making any connections to your amplifier to minimize the risk of electric
shock and possible loudspeaker damage. Power your ST
mkII
“on” after all final
connections have been made.
Each binding post is made of highly ductile OFC copper alloy. Both clamping
forces are built out of solid material, and provide an excellent grip on bare wire
spade lugs or banana connectors. All metallic surfaces offer 24-karat gold-plating,
and are made from non-magnetic materials. The binding post will accept 4mm
banana plugs, spades of 6 and 8mm, and crimped cable ends up to 10 AWG. The
easiest connection is made with banana plugs, but be sure that you use the highest
quality that you can find. Inexpensive banana plugs can cause a highly resistive
