is likely to be affected. Susceptibility to radio frequency interference is related to the wide internal bandwidth necessary

for high sound quality. Systems incorporating moving coil phono preamplifiers and active crossovers are more likely to

suffer.

Your Consonance hi-fi system can be damaged by lightning. Power amplifiers are particularly at risk and should be

turned off when there is risk of lightning strike. For complete protection all mains plugs and any aerial cables should be

disconnected when not in use.

Equipment must not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquid, such as vases, should be

placed on the equipment.

Important

Do not under any circumstances allow anyone to modify your Consonance equipment without first checking with the

factory, your dealer, or your distributor. Unauthorized modifications will invalidate your guarantee.

For your own safety do not under any circumstances open Consonance equipment without first disconnecting the

mains.

Warning : Danger of electric shock and burns. Keep the unit away from rain or moisture. Do not attempt any of the

instructions in this manual unless the unit has been unplugged for at least 10 minutes. If after reading the entire

manual you feel any of the operations listed below is beyond your ability, please seek qualified technical assistance.

UNPACKING & SET-UP

1. Check shipping package for sign of improper handling. Remove unit from plastic bag and inspect for damage.

2. AC Power connection 240V / 230V / 220V / 115V / 100V AC dependent on country.

3. Locate the 300B, 6SN7 and 12AX7 vacuum tubes and insert them into their sockets according to the number on

base of tubes. Use the top chassis drawing for socket location and proper tube orientation. Be sure to hold the tube by

its base when inserting and removing. This will minimize the chance of breaking the glue between the socket and the

glass.

4. Place the unit away from heat source and allow for air flowing under and around the chassis.

5. Connect the input source to the amplifier’s right and left channel RCA jacks. Refer to rear chassis drawing. These

jacks are labeled with colored washers: red for right and black for left.

6. Connect the speaker cables. Refer to rear chassis drawing for speaker connector location. Be sure the positive

speaker lead is connected to the plus symbol on the speaker connector (In this case, red to red, black to black) Note:

Never turn the amplifier on unless there are speakers connected to both output terminals. Operation of the

amplifier without a load can damage the output transformers.
