Getting connected
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord or put the power switch in the “off” position
before making any connections to your integrated amplifier to minimize the risk of
electric shock and possible loudspeaker damage. Power your mINT “on” after all
final connections have been made.
Each binding post is made of highly ductile “OFC” copper alloy. Both clamping
nuts are built out of one piece, and offers excellent grip. All metallic surfaces offer a
24-carat gold-plating, and are non magnetic surfaces. The binding post will accept
4mm banana plugs, spades of 6 and 8mm, and crimped cable ends up to 10 AWG.
The easiest connection is made with banana plugs, but be sure that you use the
highest quality that you can find. Make sure that the banana plugs fit snugly into the
terminals. Some inexpensive banana plugs can cause a highly resistive connection
which can result in a noticeably higher distortion output to the connected speakers.
Powering your Integrated amplifier
In order to turn the mINT on the switch located on the rear must be in the
“on” position. After a couple of seconds the green light surrounding the power
button on the front will illuminate. Pressing the power button will turn the unit on
and the light around the power button will switch to blue. It is only recommended to
turn the integrated off with the switch on the back when you are connecting or
disconnecting wires from the binding posts, experiencing electrical storms in the
area, or perhaps leaving town for a long duration. To prevent power surges, we
recommend using quality surge suppressor equipment. Turning the switch “off” on
the rear of the unit will protect against surges and spikes should some occur without
proper protection. The fuse is located above the IEC plug on the rear of the unit. It
can be inspected by sliding the fuse holder (It has a symbol of a fuse on it) out.
“Break-in” period
The mini-integrated amplifier will deliver outstanding performance right out
of the box. However, there will be improvements as it reaches the normal operating
temperature and once all of the components have a chance to “settle in”. Our
experience has shown that the mINT will improve during its’ initial 300 hours of
music playback. After the first 100 hours of music playback, (not just being powered
on) the unit will start to shed the initial “brightness” and somewhat harsh
transitions. During the second 100 hours, the mINT will start to become more fluid,
and smoother overall. The remaining 100 will not result in as substantial of
improvements.
