*The XLR inputs, input 

are asymmetrical. If you need symmetrical inputs, you 

should purchase the optional input transformers. Just like the output 
transformers, they are custom designed for the JAZZ and hand wound by Nagra 
in Romanel-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland. This option will be available shortly. 
 
In order to obtain optimal performance from the Nagra JAZZ, it is preferable to 
leave the device switched on for about 15 minutes before use, so that the internal 
components can reach their optimum operating temperature. 
 
Like all tube electronic devices, the Nagra JAZZ needs a running-in period. It will 
reach peak performance after a few hundred hours operation. 
 

Note about the Ground connector 

This feature is seldom used but often handy to solve specific setup issues. Your 
Nagra dealer will assist you on when and how to use this connector.
