CLEANING
A.
Chassis
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth dampened slightly with
water only (NO cleaning fluids!) to clean the faceplate
and chassis.
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 sensitive audio products, the Allnic Audio HA-3000
and its power supply should be placed on a solid stand.
DO NOT place the units on carpet or foam.
DO NOT subject the units to knocks and shocks as
you move them around. This advice is meant
particularly for those who may want to place the HA-
3000 on some kind of after-market isolation feet or
similar devices. Dropping one side of the HA-
3000/power supply, or the whole unit, is not a good
thing to do.
DO NOT place the units near a strong light or heat
source.
DO NOT place anything heavy on the units.
DO NOT allow rubber or vinyl materials to rest on
the units’ chassis for long periods of time. This could
discolour the metal.
DO place the units on a shelf or stand that is stable
and not subject to vibration or sudden shock.
DO consider using high quality interconnects for
both inputs and outputs. The HA-3000 is a highly
sensitive piece of electronic equipment designed for
neutrality and will output what you put into it.
DO try to place the HA-3000 away from major
sources of RFI and EMI; though very well shielded,
the HA-3000 units will function best away from large
power transformers and other sources of such
interference.
B.
INPUTS
In the centre of the four RCA connections on the rear of
the HA-3000’s chassis is a screw type connector. This
connector is the ground connection for a ground wire
from a cartridge and/or turntable. Please refer to Figure
4.
There is one (1) pair of single-ended (RCA) inputs (see
Figure 1). The right and left channel input connections are
the bottom pair of RCA connections, below and to the left
and right of the ground connection. The left channel
input connection is on the right of the unit, facing the HA-
3000’s rear panel (on the left if you are facing the front of
the unit). The right channel input connection is on the left
of the unit, facing the HA-3000’s rear panel (on the right
