Hybrid Valve Amplifier

Carbon Trinity 

Hybrid Valve Amplifier

They’re Important, So Please Read Carefully!

Please DO...

•  Keep these instructions in a safe place for future 

reference - you may need ‘em.

•  The Carbon Trinity works best on a clean, dry and 

flat surface. Try it, you’ll see. 

•  The Carbon Trinity needs room to breathe, so make 

sure its new home has adequate ventilation. Don’t 
put it on beds, sofas, rugs, enclosed bookcases / 
cabinets or anywhere else where its ventilation 
may be obstructed and it can overheat.

•  Make sure that your Carbon Trinity is connected to 

the correct power supply as indicated on the unit. 

•  Unplug your Carbon Trinity when it’s not in use for 

a long period (we’re talking days, not hours).

•  Always make sure power cables are placed safely 

and not obstructing a walkway.

•  If you move your Carbon Trinity from a cool to 

a warm place, condensation may form on the 
surface of the vacuum tube. It’s nothing to worry 
about, but allow 1 hour before you switch it on 
again. This will avoid leakage or a blow-out of the 
vacuum tube due to too much sudden heat.

•  You really should get your Carbon Trinity serviced 

by an authorised service engineer if:

1.  The power supply or cord is damaged

2.  It drops or is struck by a falling object

3.  It’s exposed to rain or moisture

4.  Liquid is spilt on it

5.  It’s not operating normally or shows a sudden 

change in performance

Please DON’T...

•  Don’t put your Carbon Trinity anywhere near water 

– it hates it. So avoid placing it near bathtubs, 
sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, saunas, 
jacuzzis, kettles, precariously balanced pints of beer 
etc.

•  Expose it to direct sunlight or to extremes of 

temperature or humidity.

•  Don’t leave it near direct heat sources such as 

radiators, stoves, gas fires, naked flames or candles.

•  Never drop the unit. It’s delicate, so don’t apply 

excessive force to the controls or place heavy 
objects on top of it either.

•  Don’t let too much dust gather on your iTube 

– give it a regular wipe with a soft dry cloth. If 
necessary, use a slightly damp cloth but DO NOT 
use solvents.

•  The Carbon Trinity has valves, and they can get hot. 

Don’t touch the tubes and keep away from babies 
and children.

•  Don’t try to remove the cover or the back - there 

are no user-serviceable parts, and you don’t want 
to risk an electric shock.

NOTE:

 Any unauthorised changes or modifications 

to this equipment render the manufacturer’s warranty 
null and void.
