1 x SXH2 Headphone amplifier

1 x Product manual

3 x Performance analysis charts

1 x Detachable AC power cord

Placing Your

SXH2

The SXH2 should generally be placed close to your source

equipment, thus keeping interconnect cabling between the SXH2

and associated components as short as practical. This will reduce

the systems susceptibility to radio frequency interference and the

negative effects associated with long cables.

Ventilation

Requirements

The SXH2 is a low power amplifier. Ventilation requirements

are not considered an important factor in product placement.

In the event that the SXH2 is to be incorporated into custom

cabinetry, please refer to the dimensional information provided in

the Physical Dimensions section of the manual (Chapter 12).

2 Instant Install

If you are like us, the first thing you will want to do is to play

your favourite piece of music through your new SXH2. The

following instructions are written to enable you to achieve this as

quickly as possible. These are not comprehensive instructions,

but are designed to enable you to play music now!

Note: Please take the time to read the SXH2 manual thoroughly

as it incorporates many features, which will enhance its

operation.

Placement

The SXH2 is a sensitive low power amplifier and best results

will be achieved when placed away from potential interference

from other components and electrical devices, for example AC

mains cords/outlets, transformers, high power amplifiers,

computers, etc.

Place the SXH2 close or near the source component in order to

make as short a connection as possible.

Turn off associated components

This minimises the potential to damage any other components

when connecting your SXH2 into the system.

Connect source to SXH2

Connect the audio output from the source component to the

inputs at the rear of the SXH2. Refer to Chapter 4 for Rear Panel

information.

Connect headphones to SXH2

Connect a set of headphones to one of the jacks on the front

panel. Refer to Chapter 3 for Front Panel information.

Note: Make sure the nominal impedance of the headphones is

not lower than 8Ω.

Switch on SXH2

Insert the power cord supplied into the rear of the SXH2 and into

the wall. Switch on the socket at the wall and turn on the power

of the SXH2 by setting the power switch down.

Caution! Prior to connecting the AC mains, please check the voltage

label on the rear panel to ensure that your unit conforms to

the power supply in your area. Never attempt to connect

the unit to the incorrect voltage.

Switch on source component

Power up your source component and start your favourite

recording. Slowly increase the SXH2 volume to achieve a

comfortable listening 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 sipping a hot cup of coffee. You’ll find

the whole experience much more pleasurable whilst listening to

music.

3 Front Panel Functions

Power LED

This blue LED indicates the power status of your SXH2

headphone amplifier.

Headphone Jacks

Two 6.35mm (¼”) stereo headphone jacks are provided,

allowing a second person to enjoy the pure sound offered by the

SXH2. The construction of the jacks makes for effortless,

crackle and pop-free insertion, and will give a lifetime of

continuous contact performance.

Note: Please ensure that the resulting impedance of the two

headphone sets is not below 8Ω. Use the following

equation to calculate the total impedance: RT= (R1* R2) /

(R1+ R2).

Volume Control

The high-quality, machined aluminium knob is the sole user

interface, reminding the user at every touch of the superior build

quality designed into the SXH2. Volume control motion is

smooth and accurate, providing absolute control with near

infinite gain resolution.
