INTRODUCTION
Do not handle your AC cord with wet hands. If liquid spills on your amplifier, unplug immediately
and contact your dealer for cleaning instructions.
To avoid damage to your amplifier, we recommend that you disconnect the AC during electrical storm or if the unit will be unused for an extended period of time.
Ensure that your main AC voltage matches the voltage marked on the rear of the unit and on
the exterior of the shipping carton.
CARE & USE
The choice of materials is also an important part of the design of your Audio Refinement Pre-5,
the bottom is made of non-magnetic aluminum, the other parts are brushed and colored
aluminum.
The transformer is suspended to reduce the transmission of its vibrations to the rest of the circuitry.
The amplifier has only 3 feet which is the ideal way to drain vibrations.
The mechanism is designed to be as compact and as rigid as possible. The small physical size of
your Audio Refinement Pre-5 moves the resonant frequencies out of the audio domain.
An important design goal for Audio Refinement is the control of parasitic vibrations. These mechanical vibrations in the air have a negative effect on the purity of sound. The impact of these
vibrations depends on the size of the amplifier, the internal components and the rigidity of the
construction. The solutions chosen for Audio Refinement include:
