User manual BLUENOTE DEMIDOFF

[. . . ] The Four large custom Golden transformers work as "pure" power energy suppliers they have two special capacitor filtering boards, mechanically isolated, designed to filter the DC power coming into the Mirror -AmpTM preamplifier section. All strategic power & audio sections are wired with the RSCTM bars (Rectangular Solid Copper bars). The RSCTM bar is a 6mm wide by 0, 5mm thick electrolytic 99, 9999% OFC copper bar provides a super conductive rail with the lowest skin effect obtainable. [. . . ] The high weight of the amplifier is not suitable to be positioned on any other components of the hi-fi system. Operating Conditions Once it has been correctly mounted and wired with its AC power Chord, and once the unit is be en wired to a line input of the amplifier with a proper interconnect cable, your DEMIDOFF integrated amplifier is ready for use. TO PREVENT HIGH QUALITY SOUND PERFORMANCES THE DEMIDOFF DOES NOT HAVE ANY OUTPUT PROTECTION. SHORT CIRCUIT OR WRONG SPEAKERS (BELOW THAN 4 OHMS) MATCHING IRREMEDIABLY DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER OUTPUT BOARDS AND THE OTHER UNITS CONNECTED TO IT. THE UNIT IS PROVIDED WITH THERMAL SWITCHES PUT ON BOTH CHANNELS HEAT SINKS AND POWER TRANSFORMERS. BEFORE THE UNIT REACHES A DANGEROUS TEMPERATURES IT TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY UNTIL IT WILL COOL DOWN TO A REGULAR OPERATING TEMPERATURE LEVEL. IF THE UNIT TURNS OFF DURING PLAYING SWITCH IT OFF AND WAIT 30/60 MINUTES. SWITCH ON AGAIN A CHECK EVERYTHING IS BACK NORMAL BEFORE CALLING ASSISTANCE FO R SERVICE. NOTE: Never disassemble any part of the product for any reason whatsoever. The DEMIDOFF integrated amplifier could be irreparably damaged and the guarantee would be invalidated.

It i s very precise and its error track ability is very low. Besides it is made with such materials that render its durability far superior with many other potentiometers on the market. The remote volume control with its proper electronic board and power transformer (to avoid any kind of interferences on signal path) works directly on a DC motors positioned on the back of the pontentiometer to avoid the use of electronic controllers can reduce sound quality. Becarefull during the remote use: the remote moves the volume very slowly when the triggers UP or DOWN are mainteined pushed. Vu-Meters The DEMIDOFF has 2 separately powered Vu-Meters. The Vu -Meters are fluorescent lighted both with its proper internal power transformer. Both are connected to a specific transformer to decouple them from the D. S. electronic boards transformers having the best possible decoupling. The Vu-Meters are extremely precise they do not need any adjustment. ATTENTION: If the Vu-meter needle stays to much at maximum leve l or receive to much power its internal coil can be burned.
