As are all Allnic Audio products, the M-3000 is fully
RoHS (EU Reduction of Hazardous Substances
regulation) compliant in construction and materials.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Please check that the pair (assuming you purchased a
pair) of shipping boxes contain the following:
One (1) each Allnic M-3000 monoblock power
amplifier
One (1) each IEC type power cord
One (1) Owner’s Manual
Note:
1)
The M-3000 ships with the tubes installed.
2)
The M-3000 will work with most IEC type
aftermarket power cords. Of course, only you
can determine the power cord that works most
synergistically with the M-3000 in your system.
3)
Be sure the M-3000 is labeled for the AC
voltage of your location. If it is not, please
contact
Allnic Audio USA
.
We advise that you keep the boxes and other packing
materials that your M-3000 came in. It will be useful if
you sell your M-3000 or in the unlikely event you need
to ship it for service.
SAFETY
Remove ALL
protective cushioning material
(cardboard
around
and
“O”
rings
on tubes)
inside the tube chimneys before
operation.
The tube chimneys should contain NOTHING
except the tubes.
Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug,
not the cable.
Do not attempt any repairs. Do not remove the
unit’s
chassis cover without specific
authorization
from
Allnic Audio USA
.
Keep the power cord away from heat sources
Keep the unit away from liquids
–
do not allow
any liquid to 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
M-3000
into an AC connection.
Do not attempt any repairs.
CLEANING
A.
Chassis and glass
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth, dampened slightly with water
only (NO cleaning fluids!), to clean the faceplate, chassis and
tube chimneys of the M-3000.
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 M-3000
needs to be placed on a solid stand in a location that provides
good air circulation around, above and below the monoblock.
DO NOT cover the top of the M-3000.
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 M-3000 on some kind
of after-market isolation feet or similar devices.
Dropping one side of the M-3000, or the whole of the
unit, is not a good thing to do.
DO NOT place the unit near a strong light or heat source.
DO NOT place anything heavy on the unit.
DO NOT allow rubber or vinyl materials to rest on the
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, inter-
connects and speaker cables. The M-3000 is a highly
sensitive piece of electronic designed for neutrality and
will output what you put into it.
DO try to place M-3000 away from major sources
and potential receivers of RFI and EMI. Though
well shielded, the M-3000 will function best away
from large power transformers and other sources
of such interference and from other equipment
that could be susceptible to such forms/sources of
interference.
