seen in the top right of the above photo) and the test point TP10 & TP11, (yellow squares on photo).
Using a multimeter set on the 200mV range, measure these test points and adjust the BIAS preset so the
meter reads approx. 21mV. This translates into 21mA of current per output valve. Check both Test Points
a few times and try to balance the Bias voltage so it is as close as possible between the 2 valves. We
don’t recommend a difference of greater than 4mV between the 2 valves.
Amplifier Dimensions:
SIZE (mm): 263(w) x 170(h) x 195(d) Unboxed. 405(w) x 315(h) x 305(d) Boxed.
Weight: 6Kgs Unboxed. 7.85Kgs Boxed
Output Power
The following measurements were taken at 240V mains input into an 8 Ohm load using a 1 KHz Sine
Wave with the output waveforms set just before clipping:
High Power: 28 Watts
Low Power: 2 Watts
Please be aware that even in low power mode at 2 watts the output power can still be very loud into a
sensitive speaker so be aware of who you may be affecting. Victory takes no responsibility for any
physical abuse that may result from your playing.
Valve Complement, (looking at the RD1 from the front left to right).
Pre-Amp:
V1 ECC83/12AX7 Input Gain stages.
V2 ECC83/12AX7 Provides 2 further Gain stages and drives the Contour Tone control.
V3 ECC83/12AX7 Is the phase splitter to drive the output stage
V4 & V5 EL84s Are the valves which make up the output stage in a Class A/B fixed Bias push-pull
configuration.
