    This is a preamp kit with a phono equalizer. The features of this preamp include: - Uncompromising measures taken for reduction of power supply hum

    and noise. A low leakage flux R-core transformer is used for the main power supply with a FET ripple filter and DC heater supply.

    - 12AU7(ECC82) tubes mounted horizontally for slim profile. Switchable gain of 0dB and 10dB.

    - Low noise OP amp has been selected for the equalizer amp stage. (IC socket offers easy exchange with other commercially available OP

    amp ICs). - CR equalizer circuitry is used for its renowned sound quality. Supports both MM and MC phono cartridges. - The power transformer supports 4 different power/voltage

    environments: 100V, 115V, 200V, and 230V. (Voltage is selected at assembly by matching the correct connector for voltage requirements).

    * The getter, the metallic silver coating inside the tube, indicates it is a sealed vacuum tube. If this turns white, it means that the vacuum of the tube is broken and the tube can no longer be used.

    * All vacuum tubes have been examined to ensure quality. Some may have a minor scratch, stain, or rust-like object that does not affect the function of the tube. Also,the shape, heater brightness, or the printing direction vary in each tube.

    ①Before soldering, follow the cut lines (grooved lines) on the PCB to break it into 8 pieces. Use an edge of a desk to break the PCB easily. ②Use a sandpaper or file to make the broken surface smooth to avoid injury.

    KA

    In this kit, the components on the right and left channels are assigned even and odd numbers, respectively. For example, R1 and C1 are Left channel, and R2 and C2 are Right channel.Most of the components on UNIT-1 PCB are located symmetrically on the board for ease of locating and mounting the components upon assembly.

    Check the indication and make sure the mounting orientation.

    Here are the marks indicating the sides to mount parts and the mounting orientations.

    No indication

    [Not orientation specific]

    Mount the part with this mark on SIDE-B. If this is not shown, mount the part on SIDE-A.

    There is a polarity, such as + and -, and has a specific orientation for mounting. If mounted incorrectly, you may not achieve a proper operation or it can be hazardous for some parts.

    There is a polarity, such as + and -, but as the shapes of the parts and the PCB do not allow the parts to be mounted incorrectly, there is no need to mention the polarity.

    There is no polarity, such as + and -, and no specific orientation when mounting.

    □D4□D5□D6

    Set the mini jack so that the jack inlet faces outward, mount on SIDE-A, and solder on SIDE-A.Make sure the jack is fully seated against the PCB before soldering.

    Insert from SIDE-B,solder from SIDE-A.

    Insert the IC to the socketmounted in Step 6 .

    Match the marks. Match the shapes.

    Insert the metal shafts into the ceramic coupling. Once fully seated, back the shaft out approx. 1mm from the coupling and tighten the set screws.

    Leaving 1-2mm clearance between the knob and chassis, fix the knobs with attached screws to each shaft.

    Align the knobs to the indicators on the chassis.

    Check if the pins are correctly aligned to the socket.

    Push in the white disk part of the ceramic coupling to the position indicated on the PCB and fix with the screws.

    There must be a clearance between the shaft and the flange bushings in order for the shaft to rotate smoothly. However, due to this allowance the shaft may not sit firmly in the bushing. Adding a small amount of grease between the bushing and shaft is recommended. Select a high viscosity grease (Catagory 3 or higher) for best results. Mixing baby powder at a 1:1 ratio with a lower viscosity grease (below Catagory 3) can be substituted if needed.

    CAUTION

    4. Safety precautions and safety check before and after powering up the preamplifier (Be sure to read for safety use)

    Incorrect use or handling of the product may cause electric shock, bodily harm, and damage to the product and other connected components. Please read the cautions below to avoid accidents.

    ◆Before closing the chassis after assembly or repair, make sure to verify that all the parts are installed correctly, there are no

    mistakes in wiring and soldering before turning ON the power.

    ◆Electronic components in a vacuum tube amplifier/preamplifier exceed several hundred volts. To prevent electric shock, do

    not remove the top chassis when powered ON.

    ◆When operating the preamplifier with the cover open by necessity (as to test the device), do not touch the parts, terminals,

    and metal parts with bare hands. Make sure to wear a pair of gloves. Find a safe place away from others who may come into

    contact with the preamplifier while testing. Even when the power plug is pulled out, there is electricity remaining in the

    capacitors. Make sure to wait at least 10 minutes after the power plug has been disconnected before touching any

    components inside the preamplifier.

    ◆If you find anything unusual while using the preamplifier, immediately turn OFF the power and unplug the power plug from

    the outlet, and refer to "Troubleshooting" on page 12. If you cannot solve the problem, consult your local dealer or EK

    JAPAN.

    ◆Do not use the preamplifier under an electric environment other than the preset power supply voltages. Normal household

    current is Alternating Current (AC). Do not connect to a DC power supply.

    ◆When connecting and disconnecting the preamplifier with other devices, be sure to turn OFF the power and unplug the

    power cord plug from the power outlet. Read the instruction manuals of the connected devices carefully and follow their

    instructions.

    ◆When connecting or disconnecting the preamplifier to/from other devices, make sure to have the power of all the devices

    turned OFF. Failing to do so may cause damage to the preamplifier and connected devices.

    ◆Before turning ON, switching inputs, or plug/unplug the headphone terminal, turn the volume control to minimum in order to

    prevent sudden bursts of high volume that may cause auditory disorder or speaker and headphone damage.

    ◆Adjust the sound volume slowly to an appropriate level, especially with headphones, to prevent sudden burst of high volume

    that may cause ear injury and auditory disorder.

    ◆If water or any unwanted substance gets into the main body of the preamplifier, immediately turn OFF the power and

    unplug the AC power cord. Wait for at least 10 minutes, open the chassis and remove/wipe off the substance, and consult

    with your local dealer or EK JAPAN. Failing to do so may cause failure, fire, or electric shock.

    ◆Hold onto the AC plug or connectors when unplugging. Do not unplug by yanking the AC power cord, as it may cause

    potential injury, fire, or electric shock.

    ◆Do not put heavy items on or under the AC power cord. Do not place the preamplifier near any source of heat, such as a

    heater. Doing so may damage the AC power cord and cause fire or electric shock. Do not use damaged AC power cord.

    ◆Do not plug/unplug AC power cord with wet hands. Doing so may result in electric shock.

    ◆Handle the preamplifier gently, especially the vacuum tubes as they are made of glass.

    ◆Place the preamplifier on a stable surface to avoid a falling hazard. Place the preamplifier in a location where nothing could

    fall onto the preamplifier.

    ◆Keep out of direct sun, extreme hot and cold, humid or dusty areas as they may cause accidents and damage. Do not allow

    gas or corrosive substances to come into contact with the preamplifier. Failing to do so may cause damage or hazard.

    ◆Make sure the preamplifier is placed at least 3cm away from walls and surrounding objects as the preamplifier will radiate

    heat. Do not place the preamplifier on a thick carpet, or in an enclosed space such as a drawer, or a box that will obstruct

    ventilation. Do not cover the preamplifier with table cloths, towels, pillows or anything that may cause fire.

    ◆Clean the preamplifier regularly. If dust accumulates on the circuit board, it may cause fire or other hazards. It is

    recommended to clean the preamplifier before the start of humid or rainy seasons.

    ◆The preamplifier is designed for home use. Do not use it in environments that it would push the preamplifier beyond it's

    limitations.

    ◆Discard the preamplifier according to the rules and standards in your region. Failing to do so may cause damage to the

    environment and others.

    ◆When transporting the preamplifier, remove the vacuum tubes from inside the chassis to prevent damage to the tubes.
