WARN NG

Be sure that you understand the requirements fully

before you make any connection to this amplifier or switch ON !!

This amplifier CONDUCTOR operates in class - A and is

therefore capable of eneratin a moderately hi h temperature which requires care full

placin to aviod any effect this heat may have on other equipment, furniture and fittin s

etc.

Do not remove the top cover from this amplifier.

Hazardous volta es are present. Any repair work should

be refer to a suitable qualified and experienced

service person.

Do not attempt to connect any input of this amplifier to

any of its outputs.

Do not earth any output terminal or connect any of these

terminals to ether without followin the instructions in

this manual or seekin qualified assistance.

Do not place this amplifier in any position where liquids

or any forei n material may accidentally enter it.

Do not disconnect any in / output wire, the power cord or the connectin cables between

the amp and the power supply , while the amplifier is operatin .

Some preamplifiers, processor, CD players etc produce

lar e switchin pulses when switched on or off, causin a loud

click throu h the loudspeakers. For this reason, turn off your power amplifier at first

when you plan to switch off your audio device.

Turn on your power amplifier at last when you plan to switch on your audio

device.

All handlin at the open amplifier has to be done

when the main power plu is disconnected .

Please notice that you never exceed the mains volta e in the prescribed value shown at

the lable of the serial number on the rear side. If you can`t provide the amplifier with the

exact shown main volta e, please use a volta e stabilizer - particulare for the US ( 115

VAC ) market and Mainland China

The amplifier needs a certain time to form the brand new components (capacitors)

otherwise they can be destroyed.

Use the Stand - By mode for warm hold periodes ( tube heatin ) when you aren`t

listenin . Please switch OFF the amp while leavin the house or sleepin !

Please only do use your amplifier while listenin to music.

FRONT PANEL

The CONDUCTOR is remote controlled desi ned, this includes also the volume control,

but you can handle the functions also manuell.

The front panel of the CONDUCTOR is spitted in 3 sections :

On the left side is located the TFT raphic display for the optical amplifier status control

and also 3 switches which allow the manuell handlin of the CONDUCTOR.

In the middle is a clear acryl window which shows the blue shinin AudioValve lo o when

the amp is in operate mode. The blue bri htness is internal adjustable.

On the ri ht side of the CONDUCTOR is located the volume potentiometer,

( which is also adjustable by hand with a heavy knob ).

This 6 section ALPS motor potentiometer uaranteed a hi h accurate analo volume

control . The heavy knob is surrounded by a blue shinnin scale while in operate mode.

REAR PANEL

( amplifier and power supply )

MA N VOLTAGE

and Main Power Plug ( fuse ) and Main Switch

The heavy round duty rocker switch for the main volta e ON /OFF is located on the rear

side of the power supply.

The main fuse is next to the main plu , the value is 1.6 for 230 VAC or 3,15 as for 117

VAC slow blow.

DO DISCONNTECT the main power cord from the volta e when you check the fuse !

CONDUCTOR reference pre amplifier_

When the CONDUCTOR is switched on with the the power switch, the TFT display in front

of the amplifier shows the AUDIO VALVE lo o in a dark shinnin mode, and the display

of the main power supply is shinnin RED. This status shows that the CONDUCTOR is

prepared for main power function.

Please switch OFF the main power while leavin the house or sleepin !

There are two cables for connectin the power supply to ether with the amplifier

( shown on the picture ). There is no possibility to mismatch the cables as they are

different.

These cables have to be connected before switchin on the amp.

Be sure, that the amplifier is disconnected from the main voltage while

connecting the cables!

The plu s are directed, there is no possibility to interchan e by plu in in.

Do not disconnect these cables when the amp is in operate mode, disconnect the cables

only when the internal power capacitors are completely dischar ed, at least 3 minutes

after shut down the amplifier by the main volta e switch OFF.

Disconnect first the main volta e cord before disconnectin these cables.

NSTALLAT ON AND OPERAT ON

MA N VOLTAGE

Make sure that your home volta e is the same as the printed volta e on the lable of

the rear side of the power supply.

Please notice that you never exceed the main volta e in the prescribed value shown on

the lable of the serial number on the rear side.

If you can`t provide the amplifier with the exact shown main volta e, please use

a volta e stabilizer - particulare for the US ( 117 VAC )

and Mainland China market.

PLACEMENT AND VENT LAT ON

This AudioValve CONDUCTOR amplifier is desi ned to

operate at a moderately hi h temperature. The ideal location

is on the ri id stand or floor mounted away from direct contact with any objects,

materials or deep pile carpets which may be effected by the heat or which may interrupt

the flow of air around the amplifier.

When operatin the amplifiers quite a lot of heat is enerated which should be allowed to

dissipate without restriction. Make sure that no objects are placed on the top of the

amplifier. Always ensure adequate ventilations.

MA N POWER connection is via supplied plu -in lead. The standard IEC socket connects

the mains power at the amplifier end while a local mains plu is required at the wall end.

In the event where a "local" plu needs to be fitted to the wall end of the lead, ensure

that the plu s is wired correctly by a suitable qualified or experienced person.

Ensure the amplifier is disconnected from the main voltage before attempting

any modification of the main connection.

MA N FUSE

The Mains fuse is fitted in the IEC Main / Line socket on the rear of the power supply.

The fuse must has the value 1,6A for 230 VAC and 3,15A for 117 VAC slow blow.

If the fuse keeps blowin up the amplifier must be checked by a professionel technican.

DO NEVER F T A FUSE W TH H GHER RAT NG.

NPUT TERM NALS

The 6 * RCA and XLR nputs are standard terminals for the

use of unbalanced and balanced input si nals comin from the si nal sources . The

CONDUCTOR uses for all XLR inputs female jackets and for the output male jackets.

The micro - controller handles the use of balanced or unbalanced si nals. You have to

confi ure them in a special setup - routine for each input separately.

CONDUCTOR reference pre amplifier_

OUTPUT TERM NALS

The CONDUCTOR has two pair of output terminals :

XLR and RCA

They are manuell selected by the ri ht switch next to the display.

You can choose between:

- OUTPUT 1; - OUTPUT 2; - OUTPUT 1 + 2

pin ON /OFF on the remote or press the little ON/OFF

switch underneith the display to the left side.

To et the amp in STAND BY MODE ( just the tubes are

heatin , no plate volta e) please use the STAND BY pin

on the remote or press the little switch to the ri ht

position.

This picture shows the OPERATE MODE, after the amp

has left the SLEEPING MODE, but just for 1 minute.

Durin this MUTE MODE the tubes are warmin up,

shown by the vertical bar raph.

It chan es from black via red to yellow, after have

reached 75% of the scale the plate volta e will be

supplied.

After 100 % are reached, the MUTE MODE is finished,

the display is chan in into picture 3.

3 This is the re ular display while operatin the amp

either by remote or with the 3 little switched around

the display.

4 This picture shows the STND BY MODE

nput terminal setup menu (configuration)

All inputs are confi urated as XLR or RCA inputs for the use of

balanced or sin le ended si nal phases.

To set up your chosen inpust please TURN OFF the power supply by the main switch.

Then you press the both little switches ( left and ri ht from the display ) in an upper

position. The same time you switch on the power supply with the main switch.

Screen desrcibtion

1 CLOCK SYMBOL Fi .1 shows 4 buttons in the lower screen which offer

you different options, he actual chosen by a square red

flashin cursor. Now it shows the actual runnin hours

of your amp .

2 TOOL SYMBOL Push the left switch up or down to select the input,

then use the ri ht switch to too le between XLR or

Cinch mode.

Push the bottom switch to the ri ht side to make fix

and leave your input settlin s [ ri ht button ].

3 EXIT SYMBOL Push the ri ht switch to save the new input

confi uration and leave the setup menue.
