Schiit AEGIR Bedienungsanleitung
STEREO OR MONO CONTINUITYTM POWER AMP
IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY, AEGIR WAS THE LORD OF THE OCEAN.
AND NO, THAT DOESN’T MEAN OUR AEGIR IS LIQUID-COOLED.
NOR WILL OUR AEGIR NECESSARILY HAVE NINE DAUGHTERS.
BUT AEGIR MAY MAKE SOME WAVES OF ITS OWN.
SINCE IT’S OUR FIRST CONTINUITYTM SPEAKER AMP.
AEGIR
OWNER’S MANUAL
Aegir is, depending on your point of view, either
(1) a breakthrough in constant-transconductance
amplication that extends the benets of Class
A operation and offers a unique solution for mis-
match between N and P output devices with our
Continuity™ technology, or (2) a hotter-running,
lower-power version of Vidar. In either case, if
you nd yourself in posession of an Aegir, this
manual will help you understand how to get the
most out of it.
INTRODUCTION
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
(1) Aegir
(1) Power cord
(0) Stick-on feet (they’re screwed in)
The following is required by the roughly 9,542
government agencies and regulations we have to
comply with. If you have some common sense, they
should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these
instructions before proceeding farther, follow all instructions,
and heed all warnings. Or else!
1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a
qualied professional to help.
2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a
dry cloth.
3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation
openings, or place near heat sources.
4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement.
Route cords away from trafc areas and protect them from
being pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus
is unused for a long period of time.
5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an
extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be
fully inserted.
6. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Service is
required when the device has been damaged, including cord or
plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.

1 Right and Left Speaker Outputs. When using
Aegir as a stereo amp, connect your right
speaker to the right red and black output
terminals and your left speaker to the left red
and black output terminals.
2 RCA Inputs. Similarly, connect your source
(usually a preamp) using high-quality RCA
cables—right into the input marked “R”, and left
into the input marked “L”.
3 AC Input. Connect to a wall socket with the
provided AC cord. Or you can use any IEC-type
cord; ours isn’t special.
4 Power Switch. Up is on. Down is off. Pretty
simple. You can leave Aegir on all the time
if you’d like, and save power by putting it in
Standby mode using the button on the front.

1 and 2 Speaker Outputs. When using Aegir as
a mono amp, connect your speaker to the two
top red terminals only. Right is “+”, and left is “-”.
Please note both of these are active outputs—do
not ground one of them!
3 XLR Input. Connect a balanced source (usually
a preamp) using a high-quality XLR cable. It’s
important that the preamp is truly balanced for
proper operation.

1Standby/Alert Light. When this light is on,
Aegir is in Standby mode—the amp is muted and
the output stage is de-biased. This light also
serves as an alert light. It flashes during self-
check on startup and flashes if there is a fault.
2 Standby Button. Press this button to put Aegir
in Standby mode and reduce power draw. Press
again to take Aegir out of Standby mode for
normal use.
OPERATION

3Operate Light. When this light is on, Aegir is in
Operate mode (that is, it will play music when fed
a musical signal from an appropriate source.)
4 Heatsinks. These get plenty hot when in use.
Ensure there’s plenty of space on either side
of the amp and good ventilation above. If your
home is particularly warm (like, 30C and above),
you may need to use additional cooling—like, you
know, a fan—to avoid thermal shutdown).

Okay, so you have a flashing light. Deep breath.
We’ll get this taken care of shortly.
When Aegir’s front right light flashes during
operation (and the amp mutes), or if it never
stops flashing after you turn on the amp,
there’s a problem, or fault. There are three
kinds of faults:
1. Over-temperature. The heatsinks are too hot,
and Aegir has shut down to protect its output. If
the amp is very hot, turn it off, wait a while for it
to cool down, and try turning it on again. Aegir
runs very high standing bias and runs very hot;
in very warm homes (30 degrees C/85 degrees
F, for example), you may need to use a fan for
additional cooling to avoid overtemperature
shutdown.
2. Over-current. It’s unlikely that Aegir will run
into over-current protection playing almost any
speaker, but if the speaker cables are shorted, or
there is an internal fault in the speaker, you may
run into over-current protection.
CLEARING FAULTS
To troubleshoot this, turn off the amp, discon-
nect the speaker cables from the amp, and turn it
back on again. If it comes back on, there may be
a short in your speaker cables (or your speakers).
Examine your connections to ensure there are
no stray wires or shorts. Once those have been
xed, you can reconnect the speakers and play
music again.
3. High DC offset. Aegir is a DC-coupled amp. Its
microprocessor monitors DC levels at the output
and adjusts it down to zero. However, it may not
be able to correct for high DC from your source
(such as a preamp). To clear this fault, turn off
the amp, disconnect the RCA cables or XLR cable
from the amp, and turn it back on again. If the
amp turns on normally, then there may be high
DC on the output of your source. Have the source
inspected and repaired.
