Thank you for purchasing the Constellation Audio Altair II preamplifier.

 This new 

revised version of the original Altair II has been engineered to deliver a superbly user-
friendly experience—and to offer a few subtle performance enhancements as well. 
 
The Altair II employs the same revolutionary circuitry pioneered in our Altair preamp. 
The biggest difference is that the user can now control all functions from the front 
panel. As with the original, the advanced design necessarily demands a somewhat 
different setup process compared with typical stereo preamps. By reading this manual 
before you operate the Altair II, you assure that you get maximum performance from 
your system.
