Use of a five-sectioned sandwich winding
method for the transformers reduces leakage,
inductance and capacitance. This significantly
improves high frequency response, as shown
below (Fig. 3).

•
The AUT 2000 is small and may be installed near
the turntable, allowing the use of interconnection
cables that are as short as possible
•
As are all Allnic Audio products, the AUT 2000 is
fully RoHS (EU Reduction of Hazardous Substances
regulation) compliant in construction and
materials
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Please check that the shipping box contains the
following:
•
One (1) Allnic AUT 2000 Step-up Transformer –
in natural aluminum or black finish in
accordance with your order
•
One (1) Owner’s Manual
We advise that you keep the box and other packing
materials that your AUT 2000 came in. It will be useful
if you sell your AUT 2000 or in the unlikely event you
need to ship it for service.
SAFETY
•
Disconnect all cables by pulling the plug, not
the cable.
•
Keep the cables away from any heat source.
•
Keep the unit away from liquids – do not allow
any liquid to enter the interior of the unit.
•
Do not attempt any repairs.
•
Do not remove the cover without specific
authorization from Hammertone Audio.
•
See the notes on “Location, Location,
Location”.
CLEANING
A.
Chassis
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth dampened slightly with
water only (NO cleaning fluids!) to clean the faceplate
and chassis.
B.
Connectors
You may use any good quality contact cleaner
recommended for such applications to clean the contacts
from time to time, as you deem appropriate.
INITIAL SET-UP
A.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Like all sensitive audio products, the Allnic Audio AUT
2000 should be placed on a solid stand.
•
DO NOT place the unit on carpet or foam.
•
DO NOT subject the unit to knocks and shocks as you
move it around. This advice is meant particularly for
those who may want to place the AUT 2000 on some
kind of after-market isolation feet or similar devices.
Dropping one side of the AUT 2000, or the whole
unit, is not a good thing to do.
•
DO NOT place the unit near a strong light or heat
source.
•
DO NOT place anything heavy on the unit.
•
DO NOT allow rubber or vinyl materials to rest on
the unit’s chassis for long periods of time. This could
discolour the metal.
•
DO place the unit on a shelf or stand that is stable
and not subject to vibration or sudden shock.
•
DO consider using high quality interconnects for
both inputs and outputs. The AUT 2000 is a highly
sensitive piece of electronic equipment designed for
neutrality and will output what you put into it.
•
DO try to place the AUT 2000 away from major
sources of RFI and EMI; though very well shielded,
the AUT 2000 will function best away from large
power transformers and other sources of such
interference.
