INTRODUCTION
Getting to know your SAE 2HP-D
This SAE 2HP-D amplifier has been put through a rigorous and unique testing procedure that ensures that it will last for
many years with minimal service requirements. This procedure includes the following:
•
All assembled circuit boards are given a thorough visual inspection and are then tested in a bench-reference amplifier.
•
The tested, assembled circuit boards are then installed in a new 2HP-D and the whole unit is tested for every function
and parameter.
•
The unit is put on a burn-in torture rack to test for any possible component failures.
•
The amplifier then undergoes a critical listening and functional test.
•
The unit has all remaining chassis components installed and then undergoes a complete visual inspection, which
assures that all SAE amplifiers meet visual specifications.
Burn-In/Break-In Time
This unit has a break in period of about 1 week during which continuous improvement in sound quality will be observed. It is
recommended that music be played continuously through the unit during this time to expedite the break in period.
Reference Manual Conventions
For clarity purposes, references to buttons and LED’s will be shown in bold capital letters.
