CONFIGURATION
CONNECTIVI T Y
ATOM AMP provides two inputs. Press the INPUT button to select 3.5mm, or depress for RCA.
RCA Preamp Outputs are only active while headphones are unplugged. Set the GAIN button
to low gain (depressed) when using RCA output. The volume knob adjusts RCA output.
Maximum RCA Analog Input Level (High Gain): 2.10 VRMS (+8.6 dBU)
Maximum RCA Analog Input Level (Low Gain): 8.65 VRMS (+20.1 dBu)
SETTING GAIN
Press the gain button to toggle between low or high gain amplication. Always use
the lowest gain necessary.
Switch to high gain only when you’re unable to achieve desired listening volume at
low gain.
SOURCE SAFETY
Atom Amp is DC coupled for maximum signal quality and requires an input source
with < 4.5mV of DC oset for safe operation. All JDS Labs DACs and consumer audio
sources are safe to use.
If you experience warm headphones, a loud pop when changing gain, or severe rustling
sounds while adjusting volume, immediately power o and contact the manfuacturer of
your audio source to ensure DC oset is below 4mV.
