Warnings

To prevent re, or shock hazard,

do not expose your Reference

75 SE to rain or moisture.

Do not place objects containing

water on top of this unit.

This unit contains voltages which can cause

serious injury or death. Do not operate

with covers removed. Refer servicing

to your authorized Audio Research

dealer or other qualied personnel.

The detachable power cord on your

Reference 75 SE is equipped with a heavy

gauge, 3-conductor cable and a standard

three-prong grounding plug. For absolute

protection, do not defeat the ground power

plug. This provides power line grounding

of the Reference 75 SE chassis to provide

absolute protection from electrical shock.

The appliance coupler (a.c. power connector)

at the rear of this unit must be accessible

for emergency power disconnect.

For continued protection against re hazard,

replace the fuse only with the same type

and rating as specied at the fuse holder.

This unit is RoHS compliant.

A note about packaging...

Save all packaging in a dry place away from

re hazard. Your Reference 75 SE amplier

is a precision electronic instrument

and should be properly cartoned any

time shipment is made. You may not

have occasion to return your unit to the

factory for service, but if that should

prove necessary, or other occasion

requiring shipment occurs, the original

packaging will protect your Reference 75

SE from unnecessary damage or delay.

Before operating the Reference 75 SE

Your Reference 75 SE amplier is shipped

with the vacuum tubes packed in foam

blocks. These must be unpacked and

installed before you attempt to operate the

amplier. Included are two matched pair

of KT150 output tubes, and two 6H30 dual

triodes used in the input stage. Proceed

according to the following instructions.

Installation

Remove all screws fastening the top cover.

Carefully remove each vacuum tube

from its protective foam and match its

location ‘V’ number (written on the base

of the tube) to the ‘V’ number printed

next to each socket. Firmly seat each

tube in its matching socket, taking care

to ‘key’ the tube pins to the socket holes.

Retain the foam blocks with other packing

materials for possible future use.

Refasten top cover on amplier.

In your system

To insure normal component life and safe

operation this unit must be operated

only in an upright position. Adequate

airow and proper cooling can occur

only if there is no restriction above and

behind the unit and on either side.

The special non-marring elastomer feet

provide adequate spacing and stability

only on a smooth, hard surface, and

also assist to isolate the amplier from

spurious vibrations. For upright stability

and best performance, never operate

the unit while it is sitting on a soft

surface such as a thick rug or carpet.

Due to its weight, this amplier must

be supported on a surface specically

rated for such a load. Check with the

manufacturer of your support system to

be sure it is rated to handle this weight.

If the unit is to be operated in an enclosure

such as an equipment rack, make certain

that adequate airow above and to

each side of the unit is provided.

The ‘ambient’ operating temperature should

never exceed 120° F or 49° C. Improper

installation will cause premature tube

failure and will aect your warranty,

as well as the service life of the unit.

It is normal for a vacuum tube power

amplier to run quite warm, and if used

for prolonged periods, hot to the touch.

All components within are, however,

operated at safe, conservative levels

and will not be improperly aected

thereby, providing the requirements

outlined above are adhered to.

Input Connectors

The Reference 75 SE uses a fully balanced

circuit topology and has a pair of balanced

XLR input connectors on the rear panel. It

therefore requires a balanced preamplier

output, as provided by most Audio

Research preampliers. Connect your

preamplier’s output to the Reference

75 SE before turning on the amplier.

Output Connectors

Heavy-duty output terminals are provided

on the rear panel for 4 or 8-ohm speaker

impedance loads. Using high-quality

speaker cables, securely fasten the (-)

speaker lead to the appropriate (black)

terminal, then the (+) lead to the matching

(red) terminal. Follow your speaker

manufacturer’s impedance specication.

The Reference 75 SE puts out the

same amount of power whether the

4 or 8-ohm terminals are used.

Matching

It is important to use as close as possible an

impedance match between the amplier

and speaker for optimum transfer of

power to the speaker with minimum

distortion. In the case of speaker systems

with signicant variations in impedance

throughout the frequency spectrum,

such as most electrostatic types,

determine the best impedance match

empirically for best overall sonic results.

Connect the Reference 75 SE input

to the preamplier or electronic

crossover, using only the highest

grade of audio interconnect cables.

To avoid sonic degradation use the

shortest practical length of cables.

Important

Use the best available speaker wires

and interconnects. Audio Research

cannot emphasize this enough. As

better components and systems are

developed, it becomes increasingly

important to avoid the limitations of

inferior system interconnections.

It is important sonically that your entire

system be connected so that the audio

signal arriving at the speakers has

correct, or ‘absolute’ polarity (i.e., non-

inverted). Connect the black or ‘–‘ speaker

terminal to the wire that connects

to the ‘0’ terminal on the Reference

75 SE. Connect the red or ‘+’ speaker

terminal to the wire that connects to

the ‘4’ or ‘8’ terminal on the Reference

75 SE and tighten the speaker terminals

securely to ensure best sonic results.

Connections

Remote Turn-on

The Reference 75 SE has a built-in 12V DC

remote turn-on/o circuit for operation

by a master control system in a home

theater or large audio system. Use a

3.5mm (.140”) diameter mono mini

plug to connect to the +12V IN jack

on the rear of the Reference 75 SE.

The +12V IN jack should be connected to

the +12V DC output of the master control

system, using a continuous +12V DC

signal at 12mA per Reference 75 SE for the

duration of amplier on-time. Do not use

a momentary or data pulse control signal.

The +12V DC remote jacks have polarity

protection, so they will not operate if a

-12V DC signal is accidentally connected,

or if the control wires are reversed.

When the 12V DC remote turn-on/o

circuit is used, the power switch on the

front panel should be turned o.
