WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE
The SSP-1 Control Preamplifier will be warm.
Due to the vacuum tubes used in the TrueLife Audio design, it is normal that the unit feels warm. Proper ventilation
will be needed as described in section preparation for installation.
Make sure the preamp and power supply is off before making any system connections. Do not remove or
insert the 6-pin Nutrich power supply connectors when the power supply mains switch is in the on position.
This unit contains voltages which can cause serious injury or death. Do not operate with cover removed. Refer
servicing to your authorized
TrueLife Audio dealer or other qualified personnel.
Replacing the Tubes
Before you take any action, please unplug the power cable of the unit from the mains. After unplugging let at least one
hour to pass before you proceed with the replacement of the tubes. Let the preamp tube(s) cool down, if necessary,
before handling. Tube heater filaments are somewhat more suceptable to damage when warm or hot.
Your SSP-1 Control Preamplifier uses four tubes in the audio preamplifier unit, two tubes type 6J5G for each
channel and two rectifier tubes type EZ32, one for each channel in the power supply unit.
In the case that the tubes need to be replaced, follow the steps in the paragraph bellow.
Each tube should require only moderate force for removal and replacement. Gently rock the tube back and forth a bit
during removal or replacement.
Each unit (control amplifier and power supply) have one top cover that actually consists of three pieces but can be
removed as one panel. In order the top panel to be removed for replacing the tubes, you just have to use an Allen key
and remove four screws closer to the front plate, then three screws closer to the back plate and finally two more on
the side panels holding the middle piece. In total nine (9) screws need to be removed.
Please use only premium quality tubes that you can purchase from the local TLA dealer or directly from the
manufacturer.
Mains
Unplug your SSP-1 Control Preamplifier system from the mains connection in the following cases:
- before you manipulate with cables
- before you clean your amplifier
- during thunder storms or
- before you leave for longer periods
Cleaning
Please use a soft towel for the cleaning of your Preamplifier. We recommend the use of a nonabrasive micro fiber
