5. Operation
1.
Switch the audio source off and turn its volume control to zero. Turn all 4 of the headphone amplifier volume
control dials (“VOLUME 1” to “VOLUME 4”) counterclockwise as far as they will go.
2.
Connect your audio source (via a line output) to the cinch sockets on the audio adaptor (white -> left
channel, red -> right channel). Connect the stereo jack of the audio adaptor to the “INPUT” connection
socket on the headphone amplifier.
3. Connect up to four headphones (with 6.3 mm headphone stereo jacks) to the headphone connection
sockets “CH-1” to “CH-4“.
4.
Connect the power adaptor’s power plug to the “DC 12V” power socket on the back of the headphone amplifier.
Connect the power adaptor to a suitable mains socket. The operation indicator “POWER” lights up.
5.
Switch the audio source on and start the audio playback. Set the desired volume.
6.
Set the volume for each set of headphones connected by individually adjusting the volume control dials
“VOLUME 1“ to “VOLUME 4“. Turn the volume control dials on the headphone amplifier clockwise to
increase the volume, and counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
