Owner`s manual

For optimal sonic performance and longevity, the Nº32 is de-

signed to remain powered at all times (the standby button merely

mutes the preamplifier’s outputs and turns off the display). There

is an initial break-in period of at least 25-50 hours before the

Nº32 achieves optimum performance.

Note: If AC mains power to the Nº32 is interrupted, the main

output will be muted. When power is restored, the

initialization sequence described above will restore the

preamplifier to standby.

We recommend you allow the circuitry within your various sys-

tem components to stabilize for 1 to 2 minutes before use after

such a power outage.

9 Earth ground connection

In some countries, there is no earth ground established when

plugging into the AC mains. If your AC mains does not establish

an earth ground, we recommend connecting this earth ground

connection

to a known earth ground. Known earth grounds in-

clude water pipes that are known to run through the ground, and

copper spikes that are driven into the ground for this reason.

If you have any doubts, please ask your dealer for assistance.

10 Nº32 Controller serial number label

Please make a note of the serial number of your Nº32 Controller,

as well as the (different) serial number of your Nº32 Preamplifier

(see next section). We suggest writing both into the front of this

manual so you can find them easily should you need them, with-

out having to pull the equipment off the shelf. While you are at it,

fill out and send in your warranty card so we can stay in touch

with you!
