from the creator

Foreword

First of all, thank you for
choosing the Vitus Audio MP­T201. We know you will enjoy
it for many years to come.
When purchasing a Vitus Audio
product, you are guaranteed
a musical performance,
which far-exceeds the
current musical standards.
Vitus Audio is dedicated to
musical performance rather
than technical details and
high performance measures.
We believe that many
manufactures are blinded by
the current available theory,
instead of looking for new
answers.

At Vitus Audio everything
works until proven not to.
This way we always try to
push the limits and explore
the unexplored. As a result
of this, many of the solutions
we use today are considered
to be “impossible to ever
get working”, however they
have convinced many people
and reviewers world wide
of the opposite. Before any
of our new topologies are
implemented in our products,
they are carefully reviewed by
our dedicated listening panel.
This way we can guarantee
the correct level of musically
performance and robustness.

Generally we’re after super
neutral, super detailed and
super dynamic reproduction
without “loosing” the nerve
in the music, which often is a
drawback of many high end
systems. Our real strongholds
are complete silence,
unbelievable depth and width
in the soundstage resulting
in a far more open sound
with higher resolution -you
could say, closer to the artist.
As a result of the above, our
electronics do not “focus” on
any specific frequencies - i.e.
no extension of top or bass,
which of coarse results in high
clarity of the midrange since
it’s “naturally present”!

This amplifier
is VERY heavy!

at least two people to
unpack the unit. You

your back and the
amplifier if extra care

Unpacking the box

After you have opened the
top, it is possible to remove
the top protective foam which
gives you direct access to the
MP-T201.

In the top you will find the
remote, the power cord and
brochures.

Now remove the side
protective foam, this will make
it easier to grab hold of the
MP-T201.

Two people carefully lift the
MP-T201 out of the box, and
put it directly onto the floor.

Store the empty box and the
protective foam for later use.

After unpacking
allow 24 hours
for the product to

reach room temperature
before connecting up
and switching on. This
is to allow condensation
to dissipate, which
might otherwise
cause damage to the
electronics. Remember
also that condensation
can form when you
move the amplifier from
a cold place to a warm
room.
