VAD TAD-1S, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 7 / 14

Powering OFF: press the “Power” button on the front panel of the TAD-1S
When in use at home, there is no need to switch OFF the main switch on the rear panel –
use the back panel switch to completely power off the unit when leaving the house for
longer.
IMPORTANT:
Power ON the TAD-1S approx. 2 min. BEFORE switching ON your other audio
components such as amplifiers.
Make sure that the Volume control of your amplifier or pre-amplifier is in the minimum
position (volume turned down).
Switch your other audio components such as amplifiers OFF before turning OFF the TAD-
1S
Whilst the TAD-1S will sound superb from the moment it is switched on, due to the nature
of valves, its sound will improve even further as it “warms up”.
After 20 minutes it will be “on song “, after approximately 40 minutes it will reach its peak
performance.
To maximise the “life span” of the valves, it is recommended to minimise the number of
times that the unit is switched on and off - e.g. where several listening session may be
planned during the course of the day, it is better to turn the unit on before the first
session and only turn it off at the end of the final session – rather than on and off at the
end of each session. Ideally, the TAD-1S would be kept switched on.
The TAD-1S has the power consumption of 55W during normal operation (with signal
connected)
Gain Control
The signal output level (Gain) control is located in the centre of the front panel, it is
designed to match the output level of the TAD-1S to a wide range of preamplifiers and
integrated amplifiers, but can also facilitate direct connection to a power amplifiers.
Please note that when our Gain is being used as a volume control, a `pop` noise will occur
during adjustment as the stepped attenuator in TAD-1S is inter-stage directly coupled. This,
though audible, does not carry any risk for your power amplifier or speakers.
