Packaging
When unpacking your Musiteca, always handle it with care. Store all packaging materials in a dry place for future
shipments. In case of transport or shipment, the original packaging will properly prevent transit damages.
Placement
Choose the installation location carefully.
Musiteca should generally be placed close to your amplifier, thus keeping interconnecting cables short.
Do not place in a sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet.
Do not place the unit on an unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adults as
well as serious damage to the product.
Heat buildup
Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions. Your
Musiteca heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. A suggested distance of at least 10cm on each side and
10cm from the top will ensure a sufficient air flow to cool down the unit.
Vacuum Tubes
Your Musiteca is provided with a pair of ECC88 / 6922 tubes. In case you need to replace vacuum tubes, always use
same type.
In quality of manufacturer, Pathos choose the brands according to their sound quality performance and availability.
In the market you may find many others brands that can replace pretty well the supplied tubes; NOS, for military use,
with gold pins and so on may improve sonic quality of the amplifier as long as they are equivalent to the ECC88.
NOTE: is not recommended to leave your Musiteca switched on 24 hours a day. This habit for some audiophiles does
not induce benefits in Musiteca’s musical performances and will shorten tubes’ life.
Warm-up
For superior sonic performances, a warm-up period of approximately twenty minutes is recommended before the
Musiteca is used.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, be sure to turn off and unplug the unit.
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with clean water. Do not use any type of
detergent, abrasive pad, scouring powder, thinner, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
Service
In the unlikely event your Musiteca should require service, always refer to your Authorized Pathos Dealer or to the
Authorized Pathos Distributor of your country.
Before you get started
Turn off the power to all components before making any connections.
Do not connect the AC power cord until all of the connections are completed.
Be sure to make firm connections.
