Setting 80hz High-Pass Filter
Sensation outputs a full range signal to your speakers. If you would like to filter the lower frequencies
below 80hz, which you might choose to do if running a subwoofer, simply move the jumpers.
Power Supplies & Batteries
Sensation ships with a standard 24v, 65w regulated power supply. It’s nice and perfectly serviceable
but an upgraded supply will help Sensation show its true colors. Our 30v, 130w regulated supply is a
huge upgrade and well worth your consideration.
Many customers rave about battery power supplies with Sensation. With high-sensitivity speakers, a
battery power supply easily exceeds the performance of all other power supplies offered for this amp.
The noise floor drops to nothing. Detail levels are greatly improved. The vocal region is smoother and
more relaxed. Sound stage and imaging are also improved. However, some customers do not prefer
the “tightness” of batteries and will prefer an upgraded regulated power supply. Check our website for
several regulated and battery power supply options at

Cabinet Resonance
Placing 1” hobby magnets on the green, interior parts of the inside of the case may help reduce any
cabinet resonances you encounter. Some customers may choose to remove the feet and place the unit
on a wooden block or granite. The different materials will reduce resonances.
Charge Batteries
Sensation is so sweet with batteries, but be sure they are charged up. You may experience odd
squealing sounds from almost dead battery supplies.
Phase Issues
Sensation is in phase. The main output to the speakers from Sensation is phase correct. The mono
subwoofer out is phase inverted.
