User Instructions for the EVOLUTION 50A integrated amplifier,
when using the AMBIT Tuner.
Thank you for purchasing the AMBIT Tuner Module from Creek Audio. You are now in pos-
session of a State of the Art
FM/AM
analogue Tuner with
RDS
(Radio Data Service).
The AMBIT tuner module is an upgrade option, suitable only for the Evolution 50A and
Evolution 100A Integrated Amplifiers. Your supplying dealer should fit it, but if that is not
possible or you bought your amplifier remotely, these instructions are designed to help you
install the Tuner module without danger.
The function and operation of the AMBIT Tuner is deceptively simple considering how
many features it offers, all of which can be controlled remotely. For clarity, when referring
to the amplifier with the AMBIT module installed, we will describe the two as a ‘
Receiver
’
from now-onwards.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Read all the following instructions carefully before installing or operating the AMBIT. Keep
this User Manual so you can refer to these safety instructions later if required.
FITTING THE AMBIT MODULE
Safety!
Please disconnect the amplifier from the mains power supply, by removing the
mains plug from the rear IEC socket.
Remove the top cover from the EVOLUTION 50A integrated amplifier, by un-screwing the
4 side screws and the 3 rear screws. Be careful to retain these screws and the cutting
washer for re-fitting. Pull the cover up on one side only and peel it up and over to the oth-
er side, to avoid bending the cover in the middle.
EVOLUTION 50A amplifiers with serial/batch numbers, ‘
EVO50A S/B 1315 0500
’ or earli-
er, will have a single Torx T7 screw, holding a blanking plate to the inside of the rear pan-
el. Take the AMBIT module from the packaging and remove it from the (90 x 36mm, 3.5 x
1.4”) fixing plate it has been supplied with.
EVOLUTION 50A amplifiers with serial/batch numbers later than quoted above, will have
an extra pair of RCA sockets, marked LINE INPUT 5 mounted on the rear panel in the
expansion slot. Input 5 sockets are mounted on 90 x 36mm (3.5 x 1.4”) plate. Input 5
mounting plate is held-on with two Torx T7 screws. Remove the outer two screws that hold
the plate to the back panel. Move the plate away from the back panel and pull-out the flat
foil cable from the Pre-amp PCB socket, underneath it, marked
MODULE
