POWER ON/OFF PROCEDURE
1. Check the Standby switch to make sure it is toggled downward for Standby operation.
2. Toggle the main power switch to the up position (this switch is located at the top of the IEC
input module). The front panel pilot light should be lit.
3. Wait one minute and then toggle the Standby switch upwards to the Operate position.
4. POWER OFF
– Toggle the main power switch downward, there is no need to go into
standby first although it will not hurt anything.
MAINTENANCE SECTION
Your Magica amp has been designed for years of trouble free operation. The vacuum tubes will
need to be replaced over time. We recommend new output tubes every 160 - 240 hours and new
preamp tubes every 320 - 480 hours.
The front and rear panels have a protective finish that can be easily scratched with abrasives
so always use a damp soft cloth to clean them (never use paper towels).
TUBE CHART
All tube brands are acceptable, a long plate is preferred in the V5 (Phase Inverter) position.
Warning
– No user serviceable parts inside so unless you know what you’re
doing please refer to a qualified service person only.
