OPERATION
Connect the mains lead to the KAIRN and push in the
POWER
button.
A green light will immediately appear next to the button.
Two small dashes will appear on the display which will then revert to the setting in
which the pre-amplifier was last used. The KAIRN will then unmute and operate at
the last used volume level. Full performance will be achieved within minutes.
Opening the door beneath the LED display reveals the control buttons. If the display
shows only the two dashes, it will become active when the door is opened.
NOTE Twenty seconds after the last operation the display will turn “off” (show two
dashes).
To switch off the pre-amplifier, press and release the
POWER
button.
To show the current volume level press the VOLUME button. The display shows the
legend VOLUME and the level as a number in the range 0-100. (The volume level can
also be shown in decibels (dB) - see “User functions”).
To increase or decrease the volume press the + or - buttons. A single push on the
buttons alters the volume by one step. Holding the button pressed causes the vol-
ume to move up or down at a constant rate.
To show the current balance setting press the BALANCE button. The display shows
the legend BAL, a number in the range 0-30 and, if the balance is not centred, an
arrow pointing in the direction in which the soundstage is shifted. Centre balance
is shown by a display of 0.
