Basic functions of reproduction
Plug the power cord in VIRTUS M1. Turn on the amplifier with the Power Main switch, which is located on the
back panel. When you turn on the main switch, the VIRTUS M1 will set into stand-by mode - the red LED diode
on the front panel lights up. After pressing the Power button on the front panel, the controlled turning-on
sequence gets initiated, which consists of cooling and preheating the tubes, thereby extending their life span. The
cooling cycle is also being carried out when the unit is turned off. If the main switch on the back panel is not
turned off, i.e. after turning off via button on the front panel, the 45-second countdown to cooling without
indication begins. If you turn on the unit at this time, the cooling will continue and will be indicated by flashing
red LED. When the cooling cycle is over then the main transformer gets connected and then the slow start-up of
voltage begins.
This cycle lasts 45 seconds and then the red LED stops flashing, an output relay connects the signal to the input
if the main power supply does not get disconnected.
You can connect both 4 and 8 Ohm loudspeakers. The amplifier has separated terminals for each type.
