MU-4 TUBE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER 

USER MANUAL 

 

v1.2

Operation 

1)

 

Set  BIAS  TRIM  switch  (b)  in 
middle  position  before  MU-4 
amplifier power on.  

2)

 

Bias  potentiometers  (c)  shall 
be turned maximum in the „-„ 
direction (lowest current)  

3)

 

After  power  on  by  switch  (a) 
amplifier starts warm up phase 
indicated 

by 

red  

POWER/WARM-UP  diode  (d)  
blinking.  

4)

 

Tubes  warming  up  takes  30 
seconds.  After  that  High 
Voltage  is  applied  to  output 
tubes. 

5)

 

After  following  15  seconds 
operating 

points 

of 

all 

elements  becomes  stabile  and 
output  relay  connects  audio 
signal  to  loudspeaker  sockets.  POWER/WARM-UP  diode  (d) 
stops blinking. 

6)

 

Before  first  listening  session  output  tubes  bias  has  to  be 
adjusted  separately  for  left  and  right  channel.  To  do  that  BIAS 
TRIM  switch  (b)  shall  be  toggled  left  or  right  according  to 
description on rear  amplifier  panel. Adjust  bias for left  or  right 
channel  by  turning  appropriate  bias  potentiometer  (c).  Proper 
bias level (50mA) is when red bar on the VOLUME indicator (e) 
reach middle position (see attached picture). When lower - bias 
is too low, when higher  – too high. After regulation BIAS TRIM 
switch has to be set in the middle position again. 

7)

 

Now MU-4 integrated amplifier is ready to use although full sound quality is achieved after c.a. 
10 minutes. During this time loud listening shall be avoided. 

8)

 

Bias  adjustment  shall  be  repeated  after  1h  of  first  listening  and  then  every  2    or  4  weeks 
depends on usage intensity. 

9)

 

Volume  level  and  input  selection  can  be  operated  by  remote  controller  or  using  micro  push 
buttons (f) (g) located at the bottom of the amplifier. MUTE function is available only in remote 
controller.  It  detaches  loudspeakers  from  amplifier  outputs  what  is  indicated  by  blinking 
POWER/WARM-UP diode (d).
