Standby Switch -
The standby switch is used to turn off the high
voltage to the amplifier's tubes, preventing damage while the amp is
warming up. Please allow 30-60 seconds after switching the Reactor FR
on before bringing it out of standby for normal use.
o
Ground lift
– When there’s a hum or buzz in your system, the ground
lift can often eliminate it. The ground lift works on all inputs.
p
Master Level Control
- Adjusts the amplifier’s overall volume.
a
Tweeter Level
– Adjusts the volume of the high frequency component
of the amplifier’s sound.
TONE TIP: The high-frequency response is “flat” with the Tweeter Level
at 12 o’clock. The “sweet spot” will vary depending on your listening
environment, ears, and the position/placement of the reactor RR. Turn
the control downwards for a warmer darker tone or increase for added
brightness and sparkle.
s
Speaker Switch
– Sets the function of the
Speaker Jack
d
as follows:
Switch Setting
Internal Speaker
Jack Function
ON:
ON ON
OFF:
OFF
*
ON
EXT. AMP:
In this position, the jack is converted from an output
to an Input for the internal speaker, effectively
converting the Reactor FR into a passive cabinet for
use with an external amplifier.*
†
*WARNING: Do not operate the internal amp with no speaker or load connected!
†
NEVER connect an external amplifier to the speaker jack when the speaker
switch is not set to
Ext. Amp
as doing so could damage both amps.
f
Cooling Fan
- This very quiet fan operates at a constant speed
whenever the Reactor FR is powered on.
g
Power Input -
This is where you connect the supplied AC line cord to
provide power to the Reactor FR. The power inlet also houses the
Fuse
Compartment
which must be opened to replace the fuse. In order to
convert the Reactor FR from 115v (US) to 230v (EU) operation (or vice
versa) remove, rotate, and replace the fuse compartment.
