V or 220). To prevent electrical shock, all three drivers must be used.
If your outlet does not accept the type plug fitted to the cord, you need
an adapter and if so, make sure it meets the required safety standards
and above all it establishes a connection to earth . If in doubt about the
integrity of your electrical system call in the assistance of a qualified

TRANSPORT AND UNPACKING
Do not return the package containing the device, paying attention to signs of
normal direction of transport. Before opening the package, bring it near the
planned installation location for the unit.
Remove the “keys” around the box, leave the other side of the box from the
base.
The device is surrounded by a cover and a second envelope containing a
desiccant.
Package Contents: Strumento No. 1 comes with a detailed instruction
manual, a power cord shielded, communication cable with other devices
Audia Flight, a remote control, batteries and a tool for their replacement.
We recommend you keep the packaging for possible transport. In the case
where the unit is packed again, be sure to try reseating all internal

damage to the aircraft or persons, resulting from poor packaging.
LOCATION
Place the unit on a solid shelf away from vibration and heat sources. Do not
expose to direct sunlight making it difficult to read the display. Do not
place it near sources emitting light that might disturb the good reception of
remote control commands.
In the case of an asymmetric binding of the preamplifier, make sure it does
not exceed one meter between the reader or between the amplifier, to avoid
background noise. This distance is more important in the case of a balanced
connection.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Do not short-circuit the output of the unit, never connect the left and right
outputs together, it can damage the circuitry of the output stage in Class A.
On the rear of the preamplifier, you have three outputs (OUTPUT): two
symmetrical format, taken on two pairs, XLR 1 and XLR 2, and a format of
an asymmetric pair of RCA jacks.
Using a pair of cables terminated with XLR connectors for balanced
transmission or by praying for RCA unbalanced use, connect the left and
right channel outputs of a Strumento No. 1 respectively to left and right
channels of the input of a stereo amplifier.
The same pair of wires may connect the two channels of this output to the
input of each of the two mono blocks dedicated to each of the two channels.
Several outputs can be used simultaneously.
The use of interconnect cables of the highest quality is strongly
recommended.
The polarity of the pin XLR connectors output is shown on the diagram
below:
Keypad of the outputs of each channel has still an output "REC" on RCA, it
is a fixed output level, the signal of the selected input, for connection to a
recording device.

INPUT CONNECTIONS
Before connecting, make sure your device and other devices in your system
are turned off.
Audia Strumento No. 1 preamplifier has 5 stereo inputs, high-level and
variable gain:
• 2 inputs (INPUT 1 and INPUT 2) whose format is selectable balanced or
unbalanced for each by the «SET » (see below) to enable the XLR balanced
if the connection is chosen or activate RCA if it is the unbalanced
connection is chosen.
• 3 other inputs (INPUT 3, INPUT 4 and INPUT 5) in symmetrical single
format on XLR.
Using cables terminated with the proper jacks, connect the left and right
channels for each source respectively to left and right of the entrance to the
Strumento No. 1 preamplifier dedicated to this source.
Cable modulation of the highest quality are recommended for these
connections.
The polarity of the pin XLR input is shown on the diagram below:

COMMUNICATION LINK
If you have multiple Audia Flight units equipped with outlets suitable, you
can link them together and synchronize their firing and transmitting data or
service. This requires connect one end digital RJ45 cable provided in one of
the two jacks to the back of the unit and similarly, the other end in a socket
at the rear of Audia Flight unit the other. Perform these connections, all
devices off.
Never use the cable for another use or for a device that would not be an
Audia Flight.
In case of a connection between Strumento No. 1 and Audia Flight cd
players (CD ONE CD TWO or THREE CD) or power amplifier like
Strumento No. 4, it is best to place the switch located next to the catch the

mains switch of the socket on the "I" position. The light from the center of
the "ON" button in front panel lights indicating the standby state. The
device is ready for operation after pressing the "ON" key to producing the
front for a few seconds the display on the screen:
followed by the first line display of the number of the selected entry (# 1 by
default) and the second line level, in dB, the output signal (- 90 dB, by
default, the highest low).

• In normal mode, the display shows on the first line the input selected and
on the second line the volume of the output.
• The volume knob on the front panel adjusts the volume in 0.5 dB steps for
each action on a range of - 90 dB minimum level at + 10 dB, maximum. It
is also used to navigate through menus accessed by different modes of the
buttons on the front.
• ON / OFF
With each new setting, the indicator light in the center of the “ON” button
turns off while the screen displays the status in which the unit will
automatically place: one that preceded his sleep.
Pressing the button again "ON" the level is reset to the minimum (- 90 dB)
and then the screen turns off: the device is put into standby. To turn it off
completely it is necessary to commutate the switch on the rear panel in
position "O".
• Input selector
The input selection is done by pressing the "input" button of the front and
turning the volume knob, clockwise to scroll on the display, the entries in
order of their number increasing or opposite direction for a sweep down.
The selected entry is one that, after a few moments, is displayed.

Selection can also be performed by the remote by pressing the "INPUT"
button, the scan by using the « + », in ascending or "–", in descending order,
and, after remaining displayed a few moments on the selected entry.
• Balance control :
By pressing the "balance" button, the display shows, in percentage the
output level of each channel. By turning the volume knob clockwise, the
level of the left channel and the corresponding percentage decreases also
when the level of the right channel is maximum. By turning in opposite
direction, the level decreases from the straight path, indicated by the lower
rate corresponding thereto. The setting is saved after a few minutes without
change.
Key and function are available on the remote control, adjustment is effected
by using the « + » or « – ».
