Features Contents Model 10 Amplifier Section Section Model 10 Power Supply DC Power Supply Cable AC Power Cable Warranty Card Initial Inspection I nspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container, packing material, amplifier, or accessories are damaged or missing, notify your dealer and the shipper (if a claim is to be made) immediately. [. . . ] The top cover, sides, and bottom cover can all be cleaned with a soft cotton cloth (such as an optical lens cleaning cloth or fine furniture polishing rag) dampened with plain water. Water should be applied directly to the cloth and not the chassis. If a mark has been left on the chassis, do not use any type of abrasive or chemical cleaner to remove the mark. A very mild plastic or glass cleaner that does not contain ammonia should be tried only as a last resort. Please contact the factory before trying any type of cleanser on the chassis other than water to clean the unit. The front panel of the unit should never be cleaned with anything other than a very soft cotton cloth and plain water or fine oil- Maintenance Maintenance A ll Jeff Rowland Design Group products are designed to provide a · lifetime of enjoyment and listening pleasure. The chassis is sealed to prevent dust from entering and the interior of the chassis should not need cleaning during the lifetime of the product. All internal circuitry is self-adjusting or stable so no adjustments or maintenance of any kind should be necessary over a lifetime of normal operation. If the amplifier is ever in need of service, updating, or upgrading, it should only be returned to an authorized repair facility or technician for servicing. It is not recommended that the customer attempt to disassemble or repair the unit and doing so may void your warranty. · Care Amplifier Front and Rear Panel Function Controls Amplifier Front Panel Standby/Power Button Power Indicator LED Amplifier Rear Panel Right Channel Input Select Switch NEUTRIK NEUTRIK PUSH Left Channel Input Select Switch PUSH Amplifier Front and Rear Panel Function Controls B efore attempting any system interconnection, please familiarize yourself with the front and rear panel controls of the Model 10 Stereo Power Amplifier. The descriptions below refer to the diagrams above. Front Panel 1 FRONT PANEL STANDBY/POWER BUTTON: Press this button to Rear Panel (Note: If desired, the switch described below can be switched while the amplifier is operational and playing music. ) operate the amplifier. Press again to place the amplifier in Standby mode. The small orange POWER INDICATOR LED will illuminate when the amplifier is operational. When the POWER INDICATOR LED is not illuminated, all amplifier inputs are muted and internal circuitry reverts to power-saving (Standby) mode. Anomalous operating conditions will place the amplifier in Standby mode and will prevent the amplifier from being switched back on again until such a condition is eliminated. To avoid spurious noises, the amplifier should never be turned on if the inputs on the rear panel are not connected. Note: All ON/OFF power switching should be initiated ONLY with this button. The amplifier should never be disconnected from AC power without first placing the amplifier in Standby mode. 1 INPUT SELECT SWITCH: This switch selects either the unbalanced RCA inputs or the balanced XLR inputs. Note: When the RCA position is selected, pin 2 of the XLR is shorted to pin 1.

Rear Panel Power Connections Important: Please strictly follow the steps in order as outlined below before operating your Model 10 Stereo Power Amplifier. Allow access to the rear panel for making connections. The Model 10 Stereo Power Amplifier is convection cooled, eliminating the need for fan or forced-air cooling. When operating, the chassis should have at least two (2) inches of air space around the heatsink areas. Multiple chassis can be stacked vertically, facilitating an upward flow of warm air currents throughout the vertical heatsink areas. This upward flow must not be blocked or recirculated around the chassis if proper cooling is to be maintained. 1 Verify that the VOLTS AC input identified on the rear panel near the AC input socket is the same as the AC mains voltage in your area. [. . . ] Identify and correct abnormal conditions such as low frequency rumble and/or acoustic feedback caused by phono playback (if applicable). Reduce volume slightly or use higher efficiency loudspeakers. Consult your dealer immediately to have the amplifier reconfigured for the proper AC mains voltage. Use balanced system configuration if possible. [. . . ]
