JOTUNHEIM

OWNER’S mANUAL

Jotunheim is the rst congurable desktop

control center. It combines a highly capable

balanced and single-ended headphone amp and

pre-amp with a modular architecture that allows

you to add a DAC, phono preamp, or any future

modules we come up with. Forget the built-in

obsolescence of other amp/DACs, and enjoy your

time in Jotunheim!

INTRODUCTION

WhAT’S IN ThE BOx

(1) Jotunheim

(1) Power cord

(0) Stick-on feet (they’re pressed in!)

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

qualied 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 trafc 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 qualied 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.

GETTING STARTED

1. If you chose Jotunheim as an amplier only

(no DAC or phono card), simply:

a. Plug it in with the supplied power cord

b. Connect your inputs and outputs (sources,

headphones, powered monitors, power amp, you

know, whatcha got).

c. Turn on the amp, select the correct input, wait

15-20 seconds for the relay protection to engage

the output, and enjoy.

2. If you chose Jotunheim with the optional DAC

card, you’ll also need to connect your source to

the DAC module.

a. Use a high-quality, USB 2.0-rated cable of 2M

or less in length.

b. On some Windows machines, you may

have to install drivers, which are available at

schiit.com/drivers.

3. If you chose Jotunheim with the optional phono

card, you’ll also need to connect your turntable.

a. Using short, high-quality, well-shielded cables,

connect the RCA outputs of your turntable to the

RCA inputs on the Jotunheim.

b. Also connect the turntable ground to the ground

post with a short, sturdy wire.

c. Note that the phono preamp’s gain is xed at

42dB, input impedance is 47k, and load capacitance

is 100pF. The Jotunheim’s phono card will work well

with most moving magnet (MM) cartridges.

ABOUT UPGRADES

Additional cards for Jotunheim may be released

in the future. When this happens, you can return

the Jotunheim to us to have the card installed, or

have it installed by a qualied electronic tech. If

you’d like to be the rst to know about

upgrades as they become available, sign up

on the SPAM link on our site.

5 SE Headphone Jack. Plug in standard head-

phones here (with “standard” being dened as

“most headphones with the typical 1/4” head-

phone plug you recognize, and if you have 1/8”

plug headphones, you can use an adapter.”)

6 Balanced Headphone Jack. Plug in your fancy-

pants balanced headphones here, using a 4-pin

male XLR plug conforming to the K1000 output

jack wiring specication. Ensure no pins are

shorted to each other or tied to ground, or bad

things can happen.

1 Input Switch. If the name wasn’t clue enough,

this selects the input. All the way up for the

internal card (DAC or phono), middle for balanced

input, bottom for SE input. Hint: if you don’t have

a card installed, you won’t hear anything when the

card is selected.

2 Gain Switch. Up is high gain, down is low.

3 Volume Knob. Turn it to the right to make the

music louder. Stop before it hurts.

4 Power On LED. Do we really have to tell you

what this one does?

CONTROLS

5 SE Preamp Output. Connect to powered moni-

tors or a speaker amp with RCA cables.

6 Balanced Preamp Output. Connect to powered

monitors or a speaker amp with XLR cables.

7 On-Off Switch. Up is on. Down is off. Pretty

simple, right?

8 AC Input. Plug the power cord in here. Plug the

other end into an outlet of the correct voltage.

Trying to run a 115V product on 230V will blow

the fuse and generally make for a bad, bad day.

1 Card Input. If you have a module installed, the

input for the module will be here. If you don’t have

a module installed, it will be covered.

2 Ground Lug. If you have a phono card installed,

there will be a ground lug here. Connect to your

turntable ground for minimum hum.

3 Balanced Input. Connect a balanced source

here with XLR cables.

4 SE Input. Connect a standard source here with

RCA cables.

CONNECTIONS

I hear hum through the headphones,

what do I do to x it?

You may have a ground loop. To x a ground loop,

try a ground loop isolator or an EbTech HumX. If

it’s low-level hum and noise, you can use Lo gain

to reduce it.

There’s no sound for a while after I turn

Jotunheim on.

That’s perfectly normal. Jotunheim delays the

headphone output for 20 seconds after you rst

turn the amp on.

There’s no sound with the input switch

in the top position.

Do you have the optional DAC or phono card? If

you don’t, you won’t get any sound.

Can I leave Jotunheim on all the time?

Yes, you can.

Can I use both headphone outputs

at the same time?

Yes, you can, but be careful—if one pair of head-

phones is very sensitive, and the other is not, you

FAQ

may damage the sensitive pair if you turn it up too

loudly while listening to the other pair.

My Windows computer doesn’t see the DAC card

via USB, what’s up?

You may need to download and install Windows

drivers. Go to schiit.com/drivers to get them.

I installed the USB drivers, but Windows still

doesn’t see the DAC—what’s up?

You may be running into USB port power

management problems, bad cables, or any

number of other things. Go to schiit.com/faq/dac-

problems and schiit.com/faq/usb-problems for

troubleshooting.

I’m having hiss and hum from the phono card,

how do I x that?

Start at schiit.com/faq/phono-problems for

troubleshooting tips.

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 email us if it still

doesn’t work.
