High End Integrated Amplifier ASR Emitter I and II version 2009 on Page 8
Disconnection
of the external ASR power supplies is made in the following order :
a)
turn OFF
the ASR Emitter (left control knob to „OFF“-position)
b)
disconnect
the power cords from the AC outlet,
c)
wait
until the Leds inside the ASR power supplies are not shining anymore
d)
disconnect
the heavy silver cable from the power supplies
If the connection between the ASR Emitter’s main unit and the power supplies has been
disconnected before the Leds have gone out, please wait at least two hours before you
connect the power supplies again. This will avoid damages to the contacts in the plugs.
Tipp:
power cords have a big influence on the obtainable sound quality. We recommend
the use the ASR Active Power cord on all other components in your audio system.
The
ground lift switch
is located on the back panel of the Power supply above the AC input.
Switching to position „1“ will connect the ground of the power supply to the ground of the
connected source components (on the RCA inputs). Audio ground should be once connected to the
power supply ground in every audio system. If connected more often hum can occur. Switching to
position „0“ disconnects the ground connection as described above.
In any doubt: please switch the ground lift switch to „1“.

Burn-in time
Straight out of the box, the performance of the ASR Emitter is not as impressive as the
performance of a unit that has been used for longer time and so is broken in. Why?
Each ASR Emitter needs at least 100 to 200 hours of playing music to break in. Especially
the ASR Emitter Exclusive battery versions with the very large amounts of capacitors inside
have to stabilize over the initial 200 hours of playing.
