NOTES

REVISION ARANDOM NUMBER 101101101

ASGARD IS THE CITY OF THE GODS IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY.

ASGARD 2 IS A HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER.

ONE IS COOL. THE OTHER IS VERY WARM.

HEAT IS NOT AN INDICATION THAT SOMETHING’S WRONG.

THAT’S NORMAL.

CLASS A AMPS RUN HOT.

HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A HOT PLATE FOR YOUR COFFEE.

ASGARD 2

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.

WELCOME TO ASGARD 2!

In Norse mythology, Asgard was the city of the gods.

So, yeah, a pretty cool place to be. And a very nice place for

your headphones.

Asgard 2 is the latest generation of one of the most popular

headphone amps in the world—adding conveniences like gain

switching and preamp outputs, as well as a much higher

performance amplier topology.

Asgard 2 delivers up to 1000mW into 32 ohm headphones, and

380mW into 300 ohm headphones. What this means is that it can

drive most headphones out there, from IEMs to many popular

orthodynamics.

But that doesn’t mean Asgard is only for death metal. Asgard’s

Class-A, high-voltage, all-discrete topology takes its cues from

Mjolnir—making it one of the highest-performance no-overall-

feedback gain stages you’ll nd in any headphone amplier.

This means detailed, rich, expansive sound.

We hope you enjoy your time in Asgard!

FOUR

Stick-on feet

of your Asgard)

IN THE BOX

2 Power On LED.

When this is lit, the

power is on. When it’s

not lit ... well, you get

the picture here.

FRONT PANEL

1 Volume Knob. It

works exactly like

you’d expect. Turn it

to the right to make

the music louder.

Stop before smoke

comes out of your

headphones.

3 Headphone Jack.

This is where your

headphones plug in.

It is very difcult to

get satisfactory

results without

headphones. A relay

mutes the output

for 10 seconds after

turn-on, and

immediately after

turn-off.

4 Vent Holes. This

may look like a great

place to keep your

coffee warm, but

don’t. And DO NOT

BLOCK ANY OF THE

VENT HOLES. If you

do, the Norse gods

will appear and rip

your face off. Well,

maybe not.

SCH01-2A

000001

115VAC 30W

3 Gain Switch. Up is

hi gain (6X), down is

lo gain (1.5X). Use

the low-gain setting

for sensitive head-

phones and IEMs, for

lowest noise floor.

4 On-Off Switch. Up

is on. Down is off.

Pretty easy.

1 RCA Inputs. This is

where you connect

your DAC, computer,

or other source. It

uses standard RCA

cables.

2 Preamp Outputs.

Have powered

monitors or a speaker

amp you’d like to run?

Connect it to Asgard

2’s preamp outs here.

BACK PANEL

5 AC Input. Plug the

power cord in here.

Plug the other end

into a wall outlet of

the correct voltage.

Trying to run a 115V

unit on 230V will

result in a blown fuse,

no music, and a void

warranty.

6 Disclaimer. No,

seriously. Don’t take

this apart. Don’t stick

paperclips through

the holes on the top

or side. Do not ran-

domly loosen screws.

Bad things will hap-

pen. And again, you’ll

void your warranty.

FAQ SPECS

Ihear hum through the headphones, what do I do?

You may have a ground loop. To x a ground loop, try a

GFCI outlet or a ground loop isolator.

Can I leave my headphones plugged in all the time?

Yes. Asgard 2 includes a time-delayed relay mute, so you

can leave headphones plugged in as you turn it on and off.

My Asgard 2 runs hot, is this normal?

Yep. Check the front of this owner’s manual.

No, it’s really hot!

Yes, we know. That’s how it’s supposed to run. Don’t put it

on your lap or anything. Oh, and don’t block the vents on

the side or top and don’t put it on top of any other warm

equipment.

It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?

Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you are not

currently in a blackout. Then call us if it still doesn’t turn on.

Can I stand it on end so it takes up less desk space?

You bet! We’ve provided the feet separately so you can do

exactly that.
