•
Keep the unit away from liquids – do not allow any liquid to touch the tubes or enter the interior of
the unit.
•
When the unit is moved from a cold to a warm environment, allow sufficient time for any condensation to
evaporate before plugging the H-5500 into an AC connection.
•
See the notes on “Location, Location, Location”.
CLEANING
A.
Chassis
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth dampened slightly with water only (NO cleaning fluids!) to clean the faceplate and
chassis of the H-5500 and its power supply.
B.
Connectors
You may use any good quality contact cleaner recommended for such applications to clean the contacts from
time to time, as you deem appropriate.
INITIAL SET-UP
A.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Like all audio products using tubes, the Allnic Audio H-5500 needs to be placed on a solid stand in a location that
provides good air circulation around the phono-stage.
•
DO NOT cover the top of the H-5500 phono stage or tube chimneys.
•
DO NOT place the unit on carpet or foam.
•
DO NOT subject the unit to knocks and shocks as you move it around. This advice is meant particularly for
those who may want to place the H-5500 on some kind of after-market isolation feet or similar devices.
Dropping the H-5500 is not a good thing to do and may void the warranty.
•
DO NOT place the unit near a strong light or heat.
•
DO NOT place anything heavy on the unit.
•
DO NOT allow rubber or vinyl materials to have contact with the unit’s chassis for long periods of time. This
could discolour the metal.
•
DO place the unit on a shelf or stand that is stable and not subject to vibration or sudden shock.
•
DO consider using a high-quality power cord and inter-connects, for both inputs and outputs. The H-5500 is
a highly sensitive piece of electronic designed for neutrality and will output what you put into it. Allnic’s Zero
Loss (ZL) Technology cables will work synergistically with the H-5500.
•
DO try to place the H-5500 away from major sources of RFI and EMI; though well shielded, the H-5500 will
function best away from large power transformers and other sources of such interference.
B.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The H-5500 uses a standard three prong male IEC connection for AC input. You need to use a power cord with a
female three prong IEC connector at one end (See Figure 1).
The H-5500 is set internally for AC 110/120 volt – 60 HZ, or 220/230 – 50 HZ operation. There is no way to change
this to another AC setting without return of the unit to the factory for re-wiring, at the owner’s cost, including
transport both directions.
