Introduction

April Music is happy to present all-new Aura note V2. This is a whole new rebirth of Aura

and wanted the stylish and natural sounding audio
equipment. And Aura note has done the great job
to fulfill these requirements.
Now, still the same size and same design as the
original Aura note designed by the British
legendary designer Sir. Kenneth Grange, but many
new features are implemented on the all-new Aura
note V2.

Cautions
1) Each Aura note V2 is shipped with power supply set to the line voltage of each
destination country (100 VAC-240VAC). Please check this before plugging your Aura
note V2 into the power outlet.
2) Aura note V2 is a precision instrument and is sensitive to external vibration. A bit of
care taken in placing it in your listening environment will result in much more musical
satisfaction.
3) The "STANDBY" button on the front panel or remote control is normally used to turn
ON/OFF Aura note V2. For extended trips away from home, you can disconnect the
power cord or turn off the MAIN POWER switch on the rear panel, but under ordinary
circumstances the “STANDBY” button is all you need.
4) The glass cover for the CD prevents dust from contaminating the mechanism. When
not using Aura note V2, please keep the glass in “CLOSED” position.
5) The CD stabilizer is magnetic. Keep it away from credit cards and ID cards and other
magnetically susceptible items.
6) Aura note V2 is a high-technology device. Don't attempt to open the unit unless you
are an authorized Aura dealer or technician. Opening without factory approval will
void the warranty.

antenna type and location will reward you with better sound.
