EVOLUTION 2 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER CONSUMPTION
It is appreciated by hi-fi enthusiasts that leaving equipment powered up continuously can improve the
performance. However, this small improvement in sound quality comes at the expense of higher power
consumption from the mains, which will cost more for your electricity and also reduced working life of the
product.
We recommend that if the equipment is not being used for a period of time, it would be better to switch it off from
the mains switch on the front panel. Normal performance can be achieved in a short period of time.
OPERATING THE EVOLUTION 2
Make sure that the amplifier is on a suitable table, shelf or hi-fi equipment cabinet.
It is important to allow adequate ventilation to the heat-sink in the centre of the unit. Avoid obstruction of the
ventilation slots on the top and bottom of the amplifier. It may be necessary to place the amplifier on the top of
other equipment, or a separate shelf to allow for this.
Switch on the amplifier by pressing the push button marked Power on the right hand side of the front panel. The
power button on the remote handset does not turn on the amplifier. You will note that once switched on, the
amplifier shows a pre-set moderate turn on volume level.
Select the desired input from either the rotary selector or remote handset. Adjust the volume and settle down to
listen. To switch off the amplifier, press the power button.
Your EVOLUTION 2 amplifier is designed to give you years of reliable use. If you need more assistance, it is always
advisable to go back to the supplying dealer for his expert help. If you are unfortunate enough to need service
work to be carried out on your amplifier, it should be returned to your dealer in the original packing material if
possible.
REMOTE CONTROL
Creek’s EVOLUTION 2 amplifier remote control handset allows the user to operate the volume control, input
selection and mute by an infra-red signal using NEC codes. It should be noted that the EVOLUTION 2 remote
handset will only operate Creek’s EVOLUTION range of products and is not able to power up the mains.
The input switch on the top right of the handset is a toggle switch and will sequence through all available inputs.
To mute the sound, press the ‘muting’ button. Pressing it a second time returns the amplifier to the previous level
at which it was playing.
Volume up and volume down buttons are the lower two buttons on the right hand side of the handset.
Pressing the display button dims/brightens the display. The remaining buttons are for use with other source
products.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
The Creek EVOLUTION 2 amplifier is designed to work properly in normal domestic operating conditions.
However, the amplifier's performance could be affected if sited near to a radio transmitter such as a mobile
phone etc.
Re-siting the EVOLUTION 2 or the radio transmitter will normalise the situation.
