Connect the loudspeakers to the 5-way binding posts using good quality
loudspeaker cables. Do not over tighten the speaker connectors. They are
designed to be finger tightened only (not with tools). Using the appropriate
RCA or XLR interconnect, connect to the pre-amplifier. Flick the switch
towards the input being used
– RCA or XLR. The XLR input is ALWAYS live,
so if you are using RCA inputs, disconnect the XLR input.
Safety Information
1.
Never try to disassemble the amplifier as you may be exposed
to dangerous voltages. Even after turning the amplifier off and
unplugging it from the wall socket, it will retain a lethal electrical
charge for a long time. There is huge energy storage in the
power supply capacitors.
2.
Do not attempt to modify the amplifier. The device has been
tested and adjusted for optimal operation and should give you
years of trouble-free service.
3.
Do not connect/disconnect the power supply and power
transformer from the amplifier module without turning the
amplifier off and unplugging the power transformer from the wall
outlet first.
4.
Before turning the amplifier on, both inputs and outputs should
be properly connected. Do not run the amplifier without
appropriate loudspeakers connected to it.
5.
While the Genesis Reference Amplifier runs very cool due to its
high efficiency, some ventilation and airflow is necessary for
reliable operation.
6.
Do not connect or disconnect the inputs to the amplifier while it
is playing
– you may damage your loudspeakers. Turn the
preamplifier and power amplifier off, wait a few seconds, then
make/break any connections.
7.
Do not connect or disconnect the loudspeakers from the
amplifier while it is playing. Turn the amplifier off, and wait a few
seconds before making any connections.
8.
In general, a hifi system should be turned ON starting at the
source components towards the power amplifier, and turned
OFF starting at the power amplifier towards the source
components. This is so that just in case there is any turn on/turn
off electrical instability, it will not damage your system.
