DISPLAY LED
An LED below ‘PLINIUS’ indicates when the preamplifier is in standby mode. This LED also lights to show whenever the remote control is being used to change the volume level.
VACUUM FLUORESCENT DISPLAY
Whenever a modification is made to the M8 settings (via the remote control) these changes will be viewable on the display.
VOLUME CONTROL KNOB
The volume control is an ALPS motorised unit that will accurately convey the selected source signal to the line stage of the Plinius M8. When using the remote control to alter the volume level, briefly press the button to make small adjustments, or hold the button down to continuously adjust the volume.
