Power-On Override:

 When activated, the unit powers on when the 

AC  power  is  turned  on  without  needing  push  the  front  panel 

power button.  

Reset  to  Default:

  The  amplifier  controls  are  set  to  Balance  =  0, 

Display  Timeout  =  Off,  Home  Theater  Mode  =  None,  and  Display 

Brightness  =  8,  and  Remote  Left-Right  Arrow  buttons  set  to  Not 

Active. 

Tube Heater Voltage Jumper Settings 

The  microZOTL  Preamplifier 

comes  with  selected  old-stock 

12SN7  tubes  as  its  standard 

output  tubes.  By  changing  the 

jumpers  on  the  circuit  board, 

the  amp  can  also  use  6SN7 

tubes.  These  are  identical 

sonically,  they  simply  use 

different  voltages  for  the 

heater.  When  switching  from 

one to the other, be sure to set 

the  jumpers  on  the  boards  to 

the  correct  position.  A  6-volt 

tube  like  the  6SN7  will  burn  out 

quickly if given 12 volts.  

On  the  circuit  board,  there  are 

two headers next to each other, 

for a total of 4 pins. There is a small diagram showing the correct 

way to orient the jumpers. When using only a single jumper in 6V 

operation, there is a header labeled “park” where you can store 

the extra jumper.  

To  use  6SN7s,  set  the  jumpers  to  6V  by  placing  a  single  jumper 

across the center two pins. To use 12SN7s, set the jumpers to 12V 

by using two jumpers, covering all 4 pins.
