Powering ON & OFF
The Aurora One is designed with a time delay start sequence to ensure all operating voltages are
stabilized and the preamplifier is ready to play audio before the output is active. This removes the
chance of any pop and noise during power on and off. The Aurora One can be turned on and off
without any need for power sequencing with other equipment.
The “Active” indicator on the front
panel shows the status of the power-on sequence. The preamp output will be active approximately
25 seconds after power-on.
The power on sequences is as follows:
The Aurora
One “Power” indicator will illuminate. The “Input”

and “Mute”
settings will also illuminate with their status. After a delay of approximately 25 seconds, the
“Active” ind
icator will illuminate, indicating that the preamp is ready for use and music will
play.

Input Connections
Input connections are made by connecting analog audio sources to the Aurora One using
the RCA inputs on the back of the unit. Up to 6 stereo inputs can be connected at a time.
Input selection is made by
using the rotary “Input” knob on the front of the unit. LEDs will
illuminate to show which input is selected.

Output Connections
The Aurora One is equipped with 2 pairs of stereo RCA outputs on the back of the unit.
Each output is independently buffered to prevent unwanted loading.
The signal on each output is identical which gives the ability to drive active subwoofers,
control zones in a house, or quickly change between 2 stereo setups. Each output can be
muted using the toggle switches on the front.
