USER MANUAL

First of all may we sincerely thank you for choosing this Unison

Researchaudio component. All our products are made with great
care and pride, and and we hope that your new purchase will give you
many years of satisfaction and musical pleasure.

Please take a little time to read the following notes. They will

help you to get the best from your new Unison ResearchC5P.

Every Unison Researchproduct is the fruit of great
experience in electronic design as well as a profound knowledge of
vacuum tubes and how to get the best performance from them. It is
also the result or our passion for making unique and valuable pieces
of audio equipment in which traditional craftsmanship and advanced
electronics join together in harmony.

All our products are made using fine quality materials and each
one is inspected at various stages of the production process to ensure
that it meets our own very high standards.

All the wood detailing is made by expert craftsmen from prized
solid hardwoods and hand-finished using organic laquers to enhance
the natural beauty of the wood. As well as having visual appeal, the
wood parts serve the more serious function of helping to damp
resonance in the metal chassis, with clear benefits to sound quality.

1. UNPACKING

Please check that the packaging is intact and that the product has
not suffered from rough handling during transport. If you are in any
doubt, we recommend that you contact your Authorised Dealer for
advice before proceeding to instal it.

3

Note that some accessory parts (in particular the valves) may be
packed separately for safety in transport. Please refer to section 4 for
guidance on correct fitting of these items.

IMPORTANT !

After unpacking allow time for the product to reach normal
room temperature before connecting up and switching on. This is
to allow any condensation to dissipate, which might otherwise
cause damage to the electronics. Remember also that
condensation can form when moving the amplifier from a cold
place to a warm room.

Keep the packaging in a safe place. Any time you need to
transport the amplifier it will be best packed safely in its original
carton.

2. FITTING THE VALVES &

AMPLIFIER PLACEMENT

Remove the protective valve cage as detailed in para. 4

Insert the valves in their respective sockets, taking care that the

orientation and position of each (V1, V2 etc) is correct.

Refit the protective valve cage.

When choosing the best position for your Unison Research



C5P please bear in mind the following guidelines.

Valves are sensitive to shock and mechanical vibration which in
turn can affect the quality of sound. For this reason avoid placing the
amplifier close to the loudspeakers. Placement on a sturdy and
resonance-free shelf or equipment support will enable the amplifier to
perform at its best. Always remember to allow adequate ventilation
above and around the valves.
