The following is required by the roughly 9,542 government agencies
and regulations we have to comply with. If you have some common
sense, they should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read
these instructions before proceeding farther, follow all instructions, and heed
all warnings. Or else!
1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a qualified professional
to help.
2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a
dry cloth.
3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation openings, or place
near heat sources.
4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement. Route cords away
from traffic areas and protect them from being pinched. Unplug the cord from
the outlet if the apparatus is unused for a long period of time.
5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an
extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be
fully inserted.
6. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service is required when
the device has been damaged, including cord or plug damage, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
INTRODUCTION
Freya S is a no-compromise, ultra-high-end balanced preamp
that’s essentially a Freya+—but without the pesky tubes. Instead,
Freya S uses Schiit’s new Nexus™ differential topology for both the
low and high gain output, seamlessly converting single-ended to
balanced and vice-versa. You won’t find any volume-control chips
or other shortcuts in Freya S, just uber-quality techniques like a
relay-switched stepped attenuator—you know, just like what’s used
in the most expensive audio gear.
