The AMC CVT3030MKII has been
designed to give superb sound quality
and represents outstanding value for
money.
The CVT3030MKII is a hybrid mosfet
valve design, capable of giving superb
sound reproduction. The components
are all of the highest quality, but there
are a few simple hints to follow in order
to get the best from your new amplifier.
1) Do not stand any object or other
component on the top.
Whilst the
3030MKII is one of the coolest running
Class
A
valve
amps
available,
uninterrupted air flow is most important.
2) There are two silent fans in the base
under each pair of EL34 values. Again,
the air space under the amp must not
be restricted in any way. Never stand
the unit on a carpeted surface or
anything soft, or on another component
which generates heat.
3) The amplifier will sound best when it
is "warmed up," which can take 15 - 20
minutes.
Avoid
operating
the
PHONES/NORMAL/DIRECT
switch
during this period.
4) The valves should last a very long
time but can be changed easily.
However, as there is always some
voltage present inside, even when the
unit is turned off, we recommend that
this is carried out by your AMC dealer.
It is only a five minute job for an
engineer.
5) We recommend you retain the
original carton and packaging so that it
can be repacked correctly if it ever
becomes necessary to transport the
unit or return for service.
6) After switching off, always let the
amplifier cool down before turning on
again.
Your AMC amplifier is supplied set to
work on your local mains supply voltage.
Check that your local mains supply
voltage agrees with the voltage setting
indicated on the back panel of the
amplifier. If not, please contact your
dealer or national distributor for details
on how to proceed further.
The cores of the mains lead are colored
in accordance with the following code:
Blue
-Neutral
Brown
-Live
Note: Export units for certain markets
have molded mains plugs fitted as
standard.
As the colors in the mains lead may not
correspond with the colored markings
identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is colored blue must be
connected to the terminal which is
marked by the letter N, or colored black
or blue. The wire which is colored brown
must be connected to the terminal which
is marked by the letter L, or colored red
or brown.
If the mains plug is fused, fit a 3amp fuse.
Your AMC amplifier contains fuses which
are designed to protect the amplifier and
prevent the occurrence of a dangerous
fault condition. These should only be
inspected and replaced by a conpetent
engineer using the correct replacement
types.
