myth Preamplifier user manual 2. Connecting the device Myth Preamplifier is intended for use in close and dry environment. Surrounding of the device must be clean and dry. The operating temperature is from 5 C to 50 C. Storage temperature is from -10 C to 60 C. The device is using city AC power network 240V/50Hz. The device is protected with the fuse of 1.16A at the primary of the mains transformer. In case of necessity, the fuse should be replaced only with the appropriate type for 1.16A (F 1.

LED on the mains switch indicates that a proper grounding is applied to the casing of the unit. If the LED stays off after the mains cable has been connected, it is probably due to bad grounding or cable defect. The device is still operational, but keep in mind that the metal casing is not grounded anymore. myth www.myth.

myth Preamplifier user manual 5. Using Touch Screen The surface of the Touch Screen is intended to be used by soft and gentle tools such as finger, soft plastic pointers or similar. Any use of sharp and hard pointers such as sharp pencil, finger nail, screwdriver etc. can cause a permanent damage to the screen. Operation force needed to cause action on the Touch Screen is from 20g to 80gr. Response time of the touch panel is less than 30ms.

To invoke Mute and Unmute functions using Touch Screen Pressing the "Mute" area on the Touch Panel causes the Myth Preamplifier to completely silent the output signal. Pressing the "Mute" area on the Touch Panel while the device is muted invokes the Unmute function, causing the Myth Preamplifier to gradually increase the volume level up to the level set before Mute was activated. During the Unmute function no other operation is possible to execute. myth www.myth.
myth Preamplifier user manual 6. Using the remote controller Myth Preamplifier is equipped with a remote controller unit. The remote controller unit uses 4xAAA batteries the life of which is expected to be 2 years under normal usage of the controller. The LED in the top left corner is used as indicator of battery health and as soon as it fades during operation, the battery set should be replaced. It is recommended to use only alkaline batteries.
myth Preamplifier user manual 6.3. To set volume level using the Remote controller - Using buttons "Volume Down" and "Volume Up" on the remote controller it is possible to change volume level of the output. If the "Volume Down" button is pressed the volume decreases down to zero in steps of one. If the "Volume Up" is pressed the volume increases up to 99 in steps of one. 6.4.
myth Preamplifier user manual 7. Using Menus Myth Preamplifier provides optional settings which can be accessed and set by users. The options are organized in three menus available and can be accessed via Touch Panel: 1. Main Menu is used for setting desired input and volume level. This is the default menu, 2. Display Menu is used for setting backlight power off and backlight intensity of the display, 3. Setup Menu is used for setting the number of volume controls and auto power off. 7.1.

For example, if source A provides larger output level than source B it is necessary to adjust volume level each time the input selector switches from A to B and vice versa. However, setting the Myth Preamplifier to 5 volume levels makes it possible to separately adjust volume levels for A and B sources, thus making it more pleasant if frequent input switching between A and B source is done. The second option in the Setup Menu is "Auto Power Off".
myth Preamplifier user manual 8. Special features 8.1. Trigger Output Some power amplifiers, such as the Myth Power Amplifier, provide a "trigger" input for being turned on or off externally. Connecting the Myth Preamplifier trigger output to trigger input of a power amplifier makes it possible to control the operation of the power amplifier as well. Once turned on, the Myth Preamplifier provides a DC voltage on the Trigger Output.

Sound characteristics The Myth Preamplifier is designed to sound as transparent as possible. The idea behind this design is that the rest of the equipment in user system gets to be easier to find match among components. Having a transparent sounding preamplifier gives more options in choosing other components of the system.
myth Preamplifier user manual 9. Troubleshooting 9.1. The device does not power on Make sure that the device is attached to mains 240V/50Hz. Make sure that the fuse is in healthy condition and replace it with a new one if necessary. 9.2. The device does not respond to remote controller Make sure that the signal LED on the remote controller is lit when a button is pressed. Check the batteries and if necessary replace them with new ones Check if the IR sensor on the preamplifier is not covered or hidden. 9.3.
