2 Power On LED. 

When this is lit, the 
power is on. When it’s 
not lit ... well, you get 
the picture here. Mjolnir 
delays the output for 
20 seconds when first 
turned on to protect 
against turn-on thumps.

FRONT PANEL

1 Volume Knob.

 Turn 

it to the right to make 
the music louder. Stop 
before smoke comes out 
of your cans. Seriously. 

3 Four-Pin XLR 

Headphone Jack. 

This 

is where you plug your 
balanced headphones in, 
using a standard 4-pin 
XLR connector. In case 
you missed it, DO NOT 
use any adapters for 
single-ended head-
phones. They short the 
outputs together. Boom. 
Well, not boom but 
click. That’s the internal 
protection saving you 
from frying the amp.

4 and 5 Three-Pin 

XLR Headphone 

Jacks. 

Alternately, you 

can connect balanced 
headphones connected 
with two 3-pin XLRs 
here. Right side is the 
right channel, left side 
is the left channel. And 
yes, you can run these 
outputs simultaneously 
with the 4-pin jack.

6 Top Vents. 

Mjolnir 

runs plenty warm, and 
needs the airflow out of 
these vents to keep its 
cool. Don’t block them 
by stacking other  
equipment on top. If  
you want to stack, put 
the DAC on the bottom.
