POSTEPOWANIE W PRZYPADKU AWARII ___16___ INTRODUCTION___________________________________________ Thank you for your trust and for choosing the Fezz Audio Titania amplifier. At times when the audio world becomes increasingly digital, Fezz Audio does not forget about analog lovers. Titania is the Polish, series produced integrated vacuum tube amplifier, which is designed for both people starting out in their audio adventure, but also for those experienced with the “vacuum tube sound” before.
INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE_______________________________ UNPACKING Please kindly check if the packaging of the Titania amplifier has not been damaged during transit. If you find any damages, please immediately contact your dealer. Remove the amplifier and accessories from the packaging. Make sure that the content is not damaged. Do not connect the device to the power supply if it has visible signs of damage on it.
DISCRIPTION OF ELEMENTS OF THE AMPLIFIER 1,3) KT88 power tubes socket for a left channel 2) 12AX7 driver tube socket for a left channel 4,6) KT88 power tubes socket for a right channel 5) 12AX7 driver tube socket for a right channel 7) volume control potentiometer 8) input source selector 9) housing for the power supply transformer 10) housing for the output transformers 6
INSTALLATION OF THE VACUUM TUBES Place the Titania amplifier on a stable surface. Carefully remove the vacuum tubes from their packaging and install them in the appropriate sockets, as show below, and adhering to the numbering scheme as identified on the packaging. Please pay attention to the diameter of the socket and to the appropriate orientation of the vacuum tube pins.
INTERCONNECTIONS_______________________________________ 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) source signal inputs speakers outputs for the right channel speakers outputs for the left channel socket for the main fuse IEC power supply cord socket mains switch The figure above shows the rear panel view of the Fezz Audio Titania amplifier, together with a description of the inputs and outputs allowing for connection of the other elements of your audio system.
Follow the instructions below to connect Your sound system correctly. STEP 1 / HOOK-UP OF THE SPEAKERS Check the impedance of the speaker set that you posses. Connect the speaker cable to the appropriate terminals on the rear panel of the amplifier. Depending on the impedance of the speakers that you posses, connect it to the terminal marked either 4 Ω or 8 Ω. If your speaker impedance is 6 Ω - connect the speaker wire to the terminal 8 Ω.
”BURNING-IN” THE AMPLIFIER Any tube amplifier requires an initial pre-heating (or "burn-in") period, in order so that it achieves its full sonic potential. This is due to the presence of residua polarization of dielectric elements and due to a necessary stabilization of working parameters of the vacuum tubes. The stabilization of the electrical parameters of the system occurs in a natural process whilst playing music through your audio system.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT_________________________________ VACUUM TUBE PROTECTIVE CAGE The following picture show the correct positioning of the optional protective cage for the tubes. HT (pre-in) input The additional HT (Pre-in) signal input makes it possible to use this amplifier as a stereo power amplifier. In order to make this possible, it is necessary that you have a separate preamplifier with its own volume control, or a receiver with ‘Pre-out’ output.
BLUETOOTH MODULE 1. Select the source of input signal to “3” 2. Turn the Bluetooth mode ON (on your device) and scan for Bluetooth devices. You will see “Fezz Audio” on the device list. Select, connect and pair both devices. 3. To pair the amplifier with another Bluetooth signal source, please follow the instructions below: - Turn the Bluetooth mode OFF on the previously used device - Turn the Titania amplifier OFF for approx.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE_________________________________ If your amplifier does not work as it is supposed to, it is fairly easy to diagnose and remedy some of the common malfunctions, by following procedures as outlined in this following. THE PROBLEM PROBABLE REASON THE SOLUTION After turning the power switch to the ON position, the amplifier does not switch on.
