Foreword
Thanks
The housing of the Tube Vitalizer has the standard 19" EIA
format and occupies 2U (88 mm) in your rack.
The Tube Vitalizer should not be installed near units which
produce strong magnetic fields or extreme heat. Do not install
the Tube Vitalizer directly above or below power amplifiers or
digital processors. If possible, the Tube Vitalizer should be placed
in an “analog rack”. This eliminates problems which could result
from interfering high-frequency signals such as clock frequen-
cies, MIDI or SMPTE signals.
Check that the voltage details quoted on the back panel are the
same as your local mains electricity supply. Use a minus (-)
screwdriver to set the voltage selector to the voltage for the area
in which the unit will be used. Never cover up the ventilation slots
on the top of the unit. If, during operation, the sound is inter-
rupted or indicators no longer illuminate, or if abnormal odor or
smoke is detected, or if liquids are spilled on the unit, immedia-
tely disconnect the power cord plug and contact your dealer.
Only clean your Tube Vitalizer with a soft, lint-free cloth.
