1Unpacking and Placement

The SM6 is packaged for maximum protection. Please carefully read th

instructions below before proceeding to unpack the unit. Be extremely careful.

Unpacking

Procedure

à Inspect both ends of the cardboard box and open at the end without the

central staple by slitting the reinforced tape at either side.

à Fold back the flaps and tip the package on end and the inner box will

slide out.

à Lay the inner box down flat and upright, open it conventionally by

separating the top tray from the bottom.

à The product can now be removed from the bottom packaging. This will

be easier if you have someone to help you by holding the base of the

box.

à Alternately, the bottom tray and preamplifier could be tipped upside

down and the bottom packaging removed. If opened in this manner,

please ensure that you turn the contents over again.

Note: Be very careful to secure the unit if you are planning to flip the packag

upside down.

à Remove the two white polystyrene protectors off either side of the unit,

leaving the black material covering.

front panel.

The preamplifier is now unpacked and ready for further installation.

Note: Please retain all packaging material for future transport.

Placing

Your SM6

The SM6 should generally be placed close to your amplifier, keeping th

interconnect cabling short. Position all the separate components of your syste

close enough to your SM6 to avoid having to stretch or extend any of th

interconnect cables.

As a “rule of thumb”, allow 80-100mm (3-4 inches) around all sides of th

product and mount the SM6 on a flat surface, ensuring that the unit has adequat

access to free flowing air.

Do not place auxiliary equipment directly on top of the SM6.

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

2Instant Install

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

piece of music through your new SM6. The following instructions are written to

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

instructions, but are designed to enable you to play music now!

Note: Please take the time to read the SM6 manual thoroughly as i

incorporates many features, which will enhance its operation.

Placement

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

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 damage any other components when connectin

your SM6 into the system.

Connect SM6 to power amplifier

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

appropriate inputs at the rear of your power amplifier.

Note: Try to keep all interconnect cables as far from loudspeaker 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 balance

(XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) inputs of your SM6.

Note: Be sure to set the balanced CD input 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 program materia

ready to play.

Switch on SM6

After checking the supply voltage compatibility with the voltage rating on th

SM6 rear panel, insert the power cord-set supplied into the rear of the unit an

into the wall. Switch on the socket at the wall and power up the SM6 using th

switch on the rear panel.

Switch on power amplifier

Turn on your power amplifier.

Test for undesirable noises

Without any program source material, slowly increase the SM6 volume listenin

for any undesirable noises. After establishing that there are no problems, retur

the SM6 volume level back to zero.

Play your source material

Start your source material playing.

Increase the volume

Slowly increase the volume on the SM6 to achieve a comfortable listening level.

CONGRATULATIONS!

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

sipping a hot cup of coffee. You’ll find the whole experience much mor

pleasurable whilst listening to music.
