ASGARD IS THE CITY OF THE GODS IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY.
AND YES, WE KNOW IT RUNS REALLY WARM.
THAT’S NOT A COMMENT ON NORSE MYTHOLOGY
OR AN INDICATION THAT SOMETHING’S WRONG.
THAT’S NORMAL.
CLASS A AMPS RUN HOT.
however, it is not a hot plate for your coffee..
The following is required by the roughly 9,542 government agencies and regulations we have to comply with.
If you have some common sense, they should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these instructions
before proceeding farther, follow all instructions, and heed all warnings. Or else!
1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a qualified professional to help.
2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a dry cloth.
3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation openings, or place near heat sources.
4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement. Route cords away from traffic areas and protect them from being
pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus is unused for a long period of time.
5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be fully inserted.
6. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service is required when the device has been damaged, including cord or
plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

welcome to asgard!
In Norse mythology, Asgard was the city of the gods. So, yeah, a
pretty cool place to be. And a very nice place for your headphones.
Asgard helps hard-to-drive headphones sound their best when
used with today’s, ah . . . rather wimpy audio devices. We’re
looking at you, iPod. And you, computer. Even your audiophile
CD player typically isn’t up to giving your headphones their best
workout.
Asgard delivers up to 20V p-p—which, in English, translates to
“holy moly, my ears just exploded!”
But that doesn’t mean Asgard is only for death metal. Asgard’s
single-ended, class-A, zero feedback, all-discrete, single voltage
gain stage topology is one of the cleanest you’ll find in any head-
phone amplifier. This means rich, pure, expansive sound.
We hope you enjoy your time in Asgard!

FOUR
Stick-on feet

of your Asgard)
IN THE BOX
2 Power On LED.
When this is lit, the
power is on. When it’s
not lit ... well, you get
the picture here.
FRONT PANEL
1 Volume Knob. It
works exactly like you’d
expect. Turn it to the
right to make the music
louder. Stop before
smoke comes out of
your headphones.
3 Headphone Jack.
This is where your
headphones plug in. It
is very difficult to get
satisfactory results
without headphones.
A relay mutes the
output for 10 seconds
after turn-on, and
immediately after
turn-off.
4 Vent Holes. This
may look like a great
place to keep your
coffee warm, but don’t.
And DO NOT BLOCK
ANY OF THE VENT
HOLES. If you do, the
Norse gods will appear
and rip your face off.
Well, maybe not.

2 On-Off Switch.
Up is on. Down is off.
Pretty easy. You can
turn the amp on and
off between uses, or
leave it on all the time
(though it’s a real
deskwarmer if you do.)
We recommend you
turn it off if you aren’t
going to be listening for
a few hours.
1 RCA Inputs. This
is where you connect
your MP3 player, CD
player, DAC, or music
server. It uses standard
RCA cables. And yes,
you can use a fancy
audiophile cable if you
want.
BACK PANEL
3 AC Input. Plug the
power cord in here.
Plug the other end into
a wall outlet of the
correct voltage. Trying
to run a 115V unit on
230V will result in a
blown fuse, no music,
and a void warranty.
4 Disclaimer. No,
seriously. Don’t take
this apart. Don’t stick
paperclips through the
holes on the top or
side. Do not randomly
loosen screws. Bad
things will happen. And
again, you’ll void your
warranty.

FAQ SPECS
Ihear hum through the headphones, what do I do?
You may have a ground loop. To fix a ground loop, try a GFCI
outlet or a ground loop isolator.
My Asgard runs hot, is this normal?
Yep. Check the front of this owner’s manual.
No, it’s really hot!
Yes, we know. That’s how it’s supposed to run. Don’t put it on
your lap or anything. Oh, and don’t block the vents on the side
or top and don’t put it on top of any other warm equipment.
It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?
Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you are not currently
in a blackout. Then call us if it still doesn’t turn on.
Can I stand it on end so it takes up less desk space?
You bet! We’ve provided the feet separately so you can do
exactly that. We strongly recommend you run it with the
volume knob and headphone jack down, for best heat transfer.
