Warnings

To prevent fire, or shock hazard, do not 

expose your Reference 6  

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 

Reference 6 is equipped with a heavy 

gauge, 3-conductor 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 Reference 6 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.

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 Reference 6 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 Reference 6 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 other occasion 

requiring shipment occurs, the original 

packaging will protect your Reference 

6 from unnecessary damage or delay.
