Open the carton box, take out the glass top and the Artera Pre separately. Place the Artera Pre onto a sturdy shelf or table. Put the
glass top on the lid of Artera Pre after making all connections.
Before making any connections to your high fidelity equipment make sure that all units in the system are switched off and
unplugged at the mains.
AC Mains connections
Before connecting your QUAD equipment to the AC mains supply, check and make sure the voltage marked on the rear panel
matches the voltage of your supply.

The balanced input
The balanced connections can provide greater dynamic capability by improving the S/N ratio. Please connect the balanced output
of your source to Artera Pre’s balanced input. Each L/R channel needs a separate balanced cable.
The single-ended inputs
Use a screened RCA cable of high quality to connect the output of the source unit and the matching input on the Artera Pre. The
interconnecting cable should be of low-noise construction and fully screened to minimize hum and noise transmission.
Artera Pre includes four inputs: AUX1

AUX3 and PHONO. The PHONO input is only for connection to a turntable fitted
with an MM or MC cartridge.
