●
High power solid-state amplifiers tend to operate best with the rear switch
in the “low” position and the
Timbre Lock

at high values (between -30 and -40).
●
High-power push-pull tube amplifiers usually have their best settings
between the two extremes (between -10 and -30).
One last important note:
Model 5
is an inverter preamplifier, ie the output signal
will have inverted polarity relative to the input. When coupled to an inverter amplifier
(as is the case with all
Audiopax
amplifiers) the preamplifier/amplifier combination will
preserve the polarity of the input signal. If non-inverting amplifiers are used, absolute
polarity restoration can be achieved by reversing it at the source (if available) or simply
reversing the polarity of the loudspeaker cables in both channels (left/right). We
encourage system testing with both configurations, as the best optimization of the
residual distortion spectrum may occur in either case.
