6Warnings
To prevent re, or shock hazard, do not expose your Reference 10 to rain
or moisture.
This unit contains voltages which can cause serious injury or death. Do
not operate with cover removed. Refer servicing to your authorized Audio
Research dealer or other qualied personnel.
The detachable power cord on your Reference 10 is equipped with a heavy
gauge, 3-conductor cable and a standard three-prong grounding plug. For
absolute protection, do not defeat the ground power plug. This provides
power line grounding of the Reference 10 chassis to provide absolute
protection from electrical shock.
For continued protection against re hazard, replace the fuse only with the
same type and rating as specied at the fuse holder.
The appliance coupler at the rear of this unit must be accessible for
emergency power disconnect.
A note about packaging...
Save all packaging in a dry place away from re hazard. Your Reference
10 preamplier is a precision electronic instrument and should be properly
cartoned any time shipment is made. You may not have occasion to return
your unit to the factory for service, but if that should prove necessary, or
other occasion requiring shipment occurs, the original packaging will protect
your Reference 10 from unnecessary damage or delay.

Installation
Installation of Vacuum Tubes
Before operating the Reference 10...
This unit has been shipped with the vacuum tubes installed in protective
foam in a separate box packed inside the shipping carton. Remove the
tubes carefully from the protective foam. Using a phillips-head screwdriver
to loosen the fastening screws, remove the top cover and set aside.
After removing the top cover and the vacuum tubes packed in protective
foam, see the accompanying illustrated sheet (g. 1 + 2) for instructions
on installing the tubes for your Reference 10 in their proper locations in the
power supply and audio chassis. Note that the numbers written on each
tube correspond to a ‘V’ number printed on the circuit board next to each
tube socket. Insert each tube rmly, carefully aligning the tube pins with the
corresponding socket holes.

8Installation
In your System
While the Reference 10 does not dissipate an unusual amount of heat,
it is important that it be provided with reasonable airow to assure long,
trouble-free operation. In addition, the following installation guidelines will
help insure maximum sonic performance as well as reliable service:
Operate unit in upright and horizontal position, prefer-ably on solid, non-
metal shelving.
Do not stack the preamp on top of a power amplier: not only could this
cause overheating, but hum may be introduced into the preamp from the
proximity of the amplier’s power transformer.
Do not stack components or other objects directly on top of the Reference
10.
Do not place or operate your preamp on a soft or irregular surface such as
a rug. This will prevent proper ventilation.
Do not operate your preamp without the top and bottom covers installed.
These are required both for safety as well as shielding from interference
(except in service operations by qualied personnel).
Ensure a minimum of 8-10” clearance above the unit when placed on
shelving.

Connections
Analog Connections
Input Connectors: The Reference 10 provides seven pairs of BAL/SE
input connectors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and Processor. The BALANCED/SINGLE
ENDED selector (touch screen) or BAL/SE (remote) should be selected to
match the type of connection used (BAL or SE) on each input.
Connect either the BAL or SE connectors for each input. Never connect
the BAL and SE connectors simultaneously for each input.
Output Connectors: Two pairs of BAL/SE main outputs are provided.
Record Output: The BAL/SE tape outputs should be connected to your
recorder’s ‘Record’ or ‘Line’ inputs. These outputs provide a xed-level
two-channel signal (L, R) to your recorder from whichever input is selected.
The non-variable output level will be the same as the output of the selected
source.
It is possible to dub or copy from one recorder to another by connecting the
output of the source recorder to an unused set of stereo inputs (e.g. 5 or
6). The signal will then be routed to the Record Out connectors when that
input source is selected.
RS-232 Connection: The RS-232 connection allows for remote control via
systems such as Creston or other automation systems.
12V In/Out Start Jacks: The +12V DC input/output jacks provide the
ability to remotely turn on and off other linked components such as power
ampliers having similar capabilities.

10 Operation
Power-Up Procedure
Secure all rear-panel connections between Reference 10, power amplier(s)
and input sources.
Plug three-prong power cord from rear of chassis into grounded A.C. wall
outlet. The Power switch defaults to ’off’ when the unit is plugged into a
power receptacle.
Press power switch (either remote or front panel). The screen will initially
display ‘Now Loading’ for a few seconds, after which it will display the Audio
Research logo followed by ‘Reference 10’ (g. 3 + 4). The main display
screen will then appear on the screen, and ‘MUTE’ will be ashing. Once
‘MUTE’ becomes solid, depress the front panel MUTE button (right button)
or touch the word ‘MUTE’ on the screen to initiate normal operation.
Select input source, then BAL or SE as necessary.
Shut-Down
Activate ‘Mute’ function.
Set Volume level to 0.
Turn off power amplier(s).
Press Power switch to ‘off’.
Turn off input sources.
