IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with
arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage”within the product’s
enclosure that may be of
significant magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within
an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to
the presence of important
operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the
product.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE AC (POLARIZED) PLUG
WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES
CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
EXTENSION CORDS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH THIS PRODUCT.
THIS UNIT CONTAINS VOLTAGES WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH COVERS REMOVED. REFER ALL SERVICING TO YOUR
AUTHORIZED TRINNOV AUDIO DEALER.
FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE HAZARD, REPLACE FUSES ONLY WITH
THE SAME TYPE AND RATING OF FUSES AS SPECIFIED.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO
NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE COVER PANELS.
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER ALL SERVICING
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT ALLOW
LIQUIDS TO SPILL OR OBJECTS TO FALL INTO ANY OPENINGS
OF THE PRODUCT.
THIS UNIT IS SUPPLIED WITH A TWO 3 PIN GROUNDED AC
PLUGS. ALWAYS INSERT THE AC PLUG INTO A GROUNDED
OUTLET. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN OR DISABLE THE
GROUND FOR ANY PURPOSE.
BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLITUDE 8,
FIRST TURN OFF THE POWER AND THEN DISCONNECT THE AC
POWER CORD.
WHEN INSTALLING THE AMPLITUDE 8 IN YOUR SYSTEM, MAKE
CERTAIN TO ALLOW A MINIMUM OF ½ INCH OF VENTILATION
ON EACH SIDE OF THE UNIT. ALSO ALLOW AT LEAST 3 INCHES
OF VENTILATION SPACE ABOVE THE UNIT. IMPROPER
VENTILATION OF THE UNIT MAY CAUSE OVERHEATING, WHICH
MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT AND CAUSE A FIRE. PLACE THE UNIT
ON A SOLID SURFACE ONLY. I.E. NOT ON CARPET, ETC.
DO NOT PLACE THE AMPLITUDE 8 NEAR HEAT SOURCES SUCH
AS DIRECT SUNLIGHT, STOVES, HEAT REGISTERS, RADIATORS
OR OTHER HEAT PRODUCING EQUIPMENT.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ANALOG OUTPUT CIRCUITRY, BE
CERTAIN NOT TO SHORT THE OUTPUT SIGNAL TO GROUND.
ENSURE THAT YOUR AUDIO OUTPUT CABLES DO NOT HAVE
ANY INTERNAL SHORTS BEFORE CONNECTING THEM TO THE
AMPLITUDE 8.
IF REPLACEMENT OF THE AC LINE FUSE AND/OR ANY
INTERNAL FUSE BECOMES NECESSARY, REPLACE ONLY WITH
SAME VALUE AND TYPE OF FUSE. NEVER BYPASS THE FUSE.
IF THE AC CORD BECOMES DAMAGED, DO NOT USE IT.
IMMEDIATELY REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE OF THE SAME OR
BETTER RATING.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE AMPLITUDE 8 BE OPERATED IN A
WELL VENTILATED ENVIRONMENT AND THE IMMEDIATE
EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE BE MAINTAINED AS SPECIFIED.
EXTERNAL COOLING FANS MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME CASES.
DO NOT STACK ANY EQUIPMENT DIRECTLY ABOVE OR BELOW
THE AMPLITUDE 8 AS TO PROTECT IT FROM OVERHEATING, AS
WELL AS THE CONTINUED FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY
EQUIPMENT NEAR AND AROUND IT.
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE OPERATING CONDITIONS: 0°C TO
40°C (32°F –104°F)°, 20-80% RELATIVE HUMIDITY (WITHOUT
CONDENSATION).
AFTERMARKET and THIRD PARTY MODIFICATIONS
Please note that any aftermarket and/or third party
modifications will void the warranty. In the case of changing the
feet on a unit, in order to prevent any damage (which will also
not be covered under warranty), please verify that the screws
being used to secure non-Trinnov Audio feet do not screw any
deeper into the chassis than the original ones. The original
screw is 1/4-20 by 1/2 and goes into the chassis 1/4 inch.
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ EACH ITEM OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING THIS PRODUCT. USE EXTRA CARE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS
WRITTEN ON THE PRODUCT ITSELF AND/OR IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. KEEP THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

1.1 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AMPLITUDE8
This Amplitude8has been put through a rigorous and unique testing procedure that ensures that it will last for many
years with minimal service requirements. This procedure includes the following:
•All assembled circuit boards are given a thorough visual inspection and are then tested in a bench reference
Amplitude8.
•The tested, assembled circuit boards are then installed in a new Amplitude8and the whole unit is tested for
every function and parameter.
•The unit is put on a burn-in torture rack to test for any possible component failures.
•It is then tested on an audio analyzer for all pertinent parameters.
•The unit has all remaining chassis components installed and then undergoes a complete visual inspection,
which assures that all Amplitude8’s meet visual specifications.
•The Amplitude8then undergoes a critical listening and functional test.
1.2 BURN-IN TIME
While the Amplitude8amplifier will sound wonderful without any burn-in time, users may experience small sonic
improvements during the first week or so of operation.
