Please contact Sonic Frontiers if you have any questions, a Customer Service Representative will be pleased to assist you.

W H A T ’ S I N T H E B O X ?

In addition to the Pre 1, the Power Supply (their appropriate covers), and the operating manual you are presently reading (with associated inserts and warranty card), there are a few more items to take inventory of before steps are taken to make the Anthem Pre 1 operational.

These items are:

one matched pair of 12AT7 tubes, totaling 2

two matched pairs of 6922 tubes, totaling 4*

one 5AR4 rectifying tube

a glove for handling the tubes

a detachable AC power cord

a handful of screws

a screwdriver

After completing an inventory of these items, proceed to the next steps.

*The 6922 tubes are carefully measured and matched in pairs. Take extra care to keep the pairs from being mixed and mismatched which would degrade performance.
