Press to select the output stage:
• Passive (resistor ladder only, 0dB gain)
• Nexus 1X (Nexus stage, 0dB gain)
• Nexus 4X (Nexus stage, 12dB gain)
The Status light will flash and there will be
a 5 second pause when engaging Nexus 4X
to allow DC levels to stabilize.
7 Volume Knob
Turn up to increase volume. Stop before
your speakers explode.
1 No Tubes
Unlike Freya+, Freya S is completely solid
state. That means no tubes!
2 Mute LED
This light is on when Freya S is muted.
3 1X Gain LED
This light is on when using the Nexus differ-
ential stage with a gain of 1. This acts like a
differential buffer.
4 4X Gain LED
This light is on when using the Nexus differ-
ential stage with a gain of 4. This gives you
the gain you need to achieve peak volume
in some systems, especially with music that
has large dynamic range.
8 Input Select
Press to select the input you want to
listen to.
9 Input
These lights indicate which input you’re
listening to, from 1-5.
10 Remote Window. The IR remote beams
invisible light through this hole to control
the preamp remotely. Magic! Don’t block it
and expect it to work.
11 Status. When this light is flashing,
Freya S is in the process of doing some-
thing—usually starting up or changing to
4X gain.
