The SM6 should enerally be placed close to your amplifier, keepin the

interconnect cablin short. Position all the separate components of your system

close enou h to your SM 6 to avoid havin to stretch or extend any of the

interconnect cables.

As a “rule of thumb”, allow 80-100mm (3-

4 inches) around all sides of the

product and mount the SM 6 on a flat surface, ensurin that the unit has adequate

access to free flowin air.

Do not place auxiliary equipment directly on top of the SM 6.

Do not place the SM6 directly atop a power amplifier.

Please do not cover the product with a cloth or similar.

Instant Install

If you are like us, the first thin you will want to do is to play your favourite

ructions are written to

enable you to achieve this as quickly as possible. These are not comprehensive

instructions, but are desi ned to enable you to play music now!

Note:

Please ta e the time to read the SM6 manual thoroughly as it

incorporates many features, which will enhance its operation.

Placement

The SM6 is a reference preamplifier and best results will be achieved when

placed on a solid surface with adequate ventilation. DO NOT place on

carpeted floor or cover the preamplifier!

Turn off associated components

This minimises the potential to dama e any other components when connectin

your SM 6 into the system.

Connect SM6 to power amplifier

Connect the balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) outputs of your SM6 to the

appropriate inputs at the rear of your power amplifier.

Note:

Try to eep all interconnect cables as far from loudspea er cables as

possible and well away from all AC mains leads.

Connect source component to SM6

Connect the relevant output of your source component to either the b

alanced

(XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) inputs of your SM 6.

Note:

Be sure to set the Balanced I

nput switch to the appropriate position, ON

if using the balanced (XLR) inputs and OFF if using the unbalanced (RCA)

inputs.

Switch on source component

Turn on the

source component and make sure you have some pro ram material

ready to play.

Switch on SM6

After checkin the supply volta e compatibility with the volta e ratin on the

SM 6 rear panel, insert the power cord-

set supplied into the rear of the unit and

int

o the wall. Switch on the socket at the wall and power up the SM 6 usin the

switch on the rear panel.

Switch on power amplifier

Turn on your power amplifier.

Test for undesira le noises

Without any pro ram source material, slowly increase the SM6 vol

ume listenin

for any undesirable noises. After establishin that there are no problems, return

the SM6 volume level back to zero.

Play your source material

Start your source material playin .

Increase the volume

Slowly increase the volume on the SM 6 to achieve a comfortable listenin level.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Now that you have achieved your first objective, sit back, relax and please read

the rest of the manual at your own pace, in your favourite armchair, whilst

sippin a lass of wine. You’ll find the wh

ole experience much more

pleasurable whilst listenin to music.

The order of source inputs and display indication is as follows:

Source Input Display

Input A IA

Input B IB

Input C IC

Input D (HT Loop) HT

Input E IE

Input F IF

Caution!

Input D (HT Loop) fixes the output to 0dB,

as it is a home theatre bypass.

Please ensure the level is suitably attenuated by the upstream processor

or receiver before selecting this input.

Note:

The source selecto

r has six positions and supplies the chosen source to

the Pre/Balanced outputs and Tape outputs. If source

input E or F is

selected, no signal is supplied to its applicable Tape

output to avoid the

potentially damaging feed bac loop which can occur if in

advertently

attempting to record and playbac the same source simultaneously.

Mute

Pressin the buttons simultaneously will mute the volume

, indicated by “MU”

on the display. M ute can be cancelled by pressin the buttons simultaneously

a ain, or increasin

the volume settin . The volume settin can be decreased
