Technical Extras:
• High speed/low noise circuitry used throughout.
• All inputs and outputs are electronically balanced: no transformers in the signal path.
• Audiophile-quality components: metal film resistors, polypropylene capacitors, a minimum number
of electrolytic capacitors in the signal path.
• Toroidal transformer for minimum hum.
• Single circuit board construction of the Main Preamp Unit and Preamp Module for high reliability.
Troubleshooting
The HZ-10SE system is built for high reliability. If you're not getting any sound out of the HZ-10SE,
eliminate the obvious things first. Is the unit plugged into an active 120V ac receptacle? Is the power switch
on the rear panel on? Have you read the instructions and followed them? Have you tried a different
connecting cable and checked your amplification system? Are the Preamp Module Gain, and Main Preamp Unit
Input and Output controls turned up? Is the connection between the pickup and its output jack okay? After
you're sure the problem isn't one of the above, check the list below. If you still have trouble, contact us.
