INTRODUCTION

THANK YOU!...

for choosing the Manley LAB SERIES DELTA SIGMA DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTER.
Designed by David Manley, the CONVERTERS use only the best available components, with the
shortest and cleanest signal path possible. The circuit and the components used have been chosen
carefully after years of development and refinement for reliability, constancy and most importanly,
musical, accurate, and emotional delivery of the sound. The circuit topology is similar to other designs
in the MANLEY range. The CONVERTER features SPDIF inputs followed by an anti-jitter digital
conditioning circuit. The CONVERTER chip is a recent 18 bit DELTA SIGMA design used mostly in
professional applications. The ANALOGUE LINE STAGE is true cathode follower TUBE design to
render the most musical and truest presentation to the listener.

GENERAL NOTES

LOCATION & VENTILATION

The Manley must be installed in a stable location with ample ventilation. Allow a minimum of 1 inch
of clearance over the top of the converter such that a constant flow of air can flow.

WATER & MOISTURE

As with any electrical equipment, these converters should not be used near water or moisture. If liquid
enters the converter, it must be immediately returned to your dealer for servicing.

SERVICING

The user should not attempt to service the converter beyond that described in the owner's manual.
Refer all servicing other than tube replacement to Manley Laboratories

SPECIAL NOTES

Tubes may become loose during transit. Straighten and press down each tube before plugging the
converter into the mains socket. Furthermore, do not touch the tubes after the converter has been
switched on, as the tubes become very hot during operation and should only be handled after the power
has been turned off and the tubes have cooled.
Your converter has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting
is marked on the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this complies with your local
supply.

Thank you again, and please enjoy!
