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

amplication that extends the benets 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

qualied 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 trafc 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 qualied 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.

STEREO CONNECTION

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.

4 AC Input. Connect to a wall socket with the

provided AC cord. Or you can use any IEC-type

5 Power Switch. Up is on. Down is off. Pretty

simple. Feel free to leave the amp on all the time

if you’d like.

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.
