INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase decision! We at Rogue Audio truly
believe that our amplifiers and preamplifiers provide the “smartest” value in
high-end audio. If you have never owned a vacuum tube preamplifier you
will be thrilled by the silky-smooth sound and incredible detail that only a
tube preamp can provide. We at Rogue Audio are extremely proud of our
products and want you to enjoy them to their fullest potential. So please,
take the time to read through this short manual so that you can be confident
that you have set up your new preamp properly.

SETTING UP YOUR PREAMPLIFIER

tools required: phillips head screwdriver and a clean glove

WARNING - This preamplifier uses and generates
voltages that could cause injury or death. Never
open the amplifier while it is plugged in, and always
wait at least one hour after turning the unit off to
unplug and open the unit. Lethal voltages can
remain in the electronics after the unit is unplugged

1) Opening the box - Carefully remove the preamplifier and power
supply from the box. It is important that you retain the packing
material and box in the event that the amplifier ever needs
servicing. The packing material and box have been carefully
designed to protect your valuable equipment during shipping so
you don’t want to throw them away!

2) Connecting the power supply - Carefully plug the black six pin
connector coming from the power supply into the rear of the
preamplifier. See Figure 1. Connect the IEC end of the
detachable power cord to the power supply, and plug the
opposite end into the wall outlet.

3) Placement of the preamplifier - The preamplifier is the “brains“
of your system and will have the greatest number of
interconnects. Therefore, the preamplifier should be located
such that it is accessible for cabling between itself and all other
relevant pieces of equipment. NEVER place another piece of
equipment on top of the preamplifier and be sure to leave
adequate space (three inches or more) on the top, sides and
rear for air flow. The external power supply should be
placed as far away as possible from any other components or
cables.
