INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing a Phonic professional audio
product.  The  T8300  Tube  Enhancer  is  a  new
generation  two-channel  professional  tube  enhancer
that  excites  the  high  frequency  band  as  well  as
enhancing the low frequency sounds. The high-band
exciter  can  be  fine-tuned  to  the  “ sweet  spot”   to
highlight  a  certain  frequency;  while  the  low-band
enhancer  sports  a  timbre  control  for  adjusting  the
“ color”  of the bass sound. The Tube Enhancer uses
the high quality 12AX7 valve preamplifier, which is well
known  for  generating  warm  and  highly  enriched
sounds. In addition, the Tube Enhancer draws on the
benefit of a potentiometer control to fine tune the input
difference  between  the  tube  and  the  conventional
semiconductor preamplifier, giving you greater control
and flexibility.

This  manual  is  designed  to  be  both  concise  and
comprehensive. It is concise enough to help you get
a quick start on using your new Tube Enhancer. It is
comprehensive  enough  to  help  you  gain  a  full
understanding of the fine product you have purchased.
We hope you will soon discover that you have made a
wise investment in buying a Phonic product.
