Warnings

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not 

expose your PH9 to rain or moisture.

• Do not place objects containing 

water on top of this unit.

• This unit contains voltages which can cause 

serious injury or death. Do not operate 

with covers removed. Refer servicing 

to your authorized Audio Research 

dealer or other qualified personnel.

• The detachable power cord on your PH9 is 

equipped with a heavy gauge, 3-conductor 

(where applicable) cable and a standard 

three-prong grounding plug.  For absolute 

protection, do not defeat the ground 

power plug. This provides power line 

grounding of the PH9 chassis to provide 

absolute protection from electrical shock.

• The appliance coupler (a.c. power 

connector) at the rear of this unit must be 

accessible for emergency power disconnect.

• The power button on the front of this 

unit, when off, does 

not

 disconnect 

all power from this unit. This unit is 

in sleep mode when not on. (In sleep 

mode, the tubes and audio circuit are 

powered off; the microprocessor that 

operates the PH9 remains on).

• For continued protection against fire 

hazard, replace the fuse only with the same 

type and rating as specified at the fuse 

holder (see page 19 for fuse information).

• This unit is RoHS compliant.

• The PH9 has automatic muting to help 

protect system components in the event 

of low line voltage. When sensing low line 

voltage, the preamp displays ‘Low Line’ 

and automatically goes into ‘Mute’. This 

condition will persist until the line voltage 

returns to a safe operating level; please 

note the unit will remain in ‘Mute’ even 

after ‘Low Line’ no longer appears.

• Note that automatic muting is only 

designed to protect against power line 

interruptions or severe voltage drop. It 

will not mute in the event of subsonic 

transmissions from a faulty input source, 

amplifier failure or speaker malfunction. 

A note about packaging... 

Save all packaging in a dry place away from 

fire hazard. Your PH9 preamplifier is a 

precision electronic instrument and should 

be properly cartoned any time shipment is 

made. You may not have occasion to return 

your unit to the factory for service, but if 

that should prove necessary, or another 

occasion requiring shipment occurs, the 

original packaging will protect your PH9 

from unnecessary damage or delay.
