Manual

6 // 35

There are no user-
serviceable components 
within the 

Hugo TT 2

 

or its power supply. Dangerous 
voltages/currents exist within 
the 

Hugo TT 2

 and its power 

supply, posing a severe risk of 
electrocution and/or fire. 

Never attempt to 
open, dismantle or 
apply internal third-

party devices to it or insert 
anything other than the listed 
interconnects or headphone 
adapters within this user manual. 

If the 

Hugo TT 2

 develops a 

fault or the casework becomes 
damaged, immediately 
disconnect from the mains 
power supply and connected 
equipment, and contact 

Chord 

Electronics 

for further advice.

1.3

With a thick, solid aluminium 
chassis, the Hugo TT 2’s 
casework largely protects the 
sensitive internal circuitry from 
radio frequency interference. 
However, for optimal 
performance, it is recommended 
that the following points are 
observed: 

 

1. Consider placing the 
  Hugo  away          
  from wireless routers.

 

2. Separate the Hugo TT 
2 from amplifiers using 
toroidal  transformers. 

3. Operate mobile 
phones at a distance to 
avoid interference.

Although the Hugo TT 
2 is largely shielded, 
it can generate radio 

frequency interference that 
may have an effect on radio and 
television reception.  
If this occurs, please reconsider 
your placement.

Before connecting the Hugo TT 
2 to any equipment, consult the 
manufacturer’s user guide to 
confirm compatibility. 

When connecting the Hugo TT 
2 to any equipment please make 
sure that all devices are off, 
including the Hugo TT 2.  
 
Once connected, switch all 
equipment on starting with 
the source and ending with the 
amplification. 

Initially, operate the any 
connected equipment on its 
lowest gain setting and lowest 
volume setting, gently increasing 
to a comfortable listening level. 

Never operate connected 
equipment to the Hugo TT 
2 at excessive sound levels; 
permanent hearing damage and 
loss can occur.

The included 15V 4000mA 
power supply simply plugs into 
the Hugo TT 2. 

If the power supply is 
prematurely disconnected Hugo 
TT 2 may still remain active for 
up to 15 seconds, however, this 
may cause damage to connected 
equipment.
