Musical Fidelity Titan Owners manual

TiTAN

FULLY BALANCED 1KW DUAL MONO BRIDGED POWER AMPLIFIER

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity TiTAN power amplifier.

The TiTAN uses the latest in low distortion circuitry in a bridged configuration that delivers 1000 watts into 8 ohm and 2000W

into 4 ohm speakers.

It is designed to drive any loudspeaker system to its full potential without distortion or clipping interfering with enjoyment of

the music. Large musical transients are delivered without clipping. The overall listening experience is greatly improved due to

dramatically lower distortion and increased dynamic range.

The TiTAN accepts both balanced and single ended line level inputs. When driven from a balanced preamplifier the sound

quality is greatly enhanced by the doubling of the dynamic range and effective halving of the noise floor.

The TiTAN is a perfect answer to greatly improved dynamics in a beautifully engineered package.

Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding musical reproduction.

If there are further questions about any Musical Fidelity component, please consult the dealer from whom it was purchased,

who is there to give help and advice.

GENERAL ADVICE

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION

The TiTAN is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is
necessary to observe a few precautions:

Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product.

Only connect the TiTAN to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the unit.

Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting audio equipment the mains supply is
switched off.

Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped
by items placed on them.

This unit features a BRIDGED speaker output and should NOT be grounded on either speaker output
terminal as both terminals are effectively “hot”, i.e. carry signal. Please check if using any active
“sub”, electrostatic, or other non standard potentially grounded speaker types directly connected to the
outputs of the TiTAN. Consult speaker manual or supplier if in doubt.

Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the TiTAN, for example, a flower vase or
potted plants. If water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall

socket and inform the dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of
liquid into the TiTAN is dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard.

Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment.

Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no user-serviceable internal
adjustments . Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.

Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they
may harm the surface finish.

The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged
by lightning. For protection of your audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs and
disconnect any aerial lead.

If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the TiTAN please quote the serial number located
on the rear panel of the unit.
