FROM THE CREATOR

Foreword

First of all, thank you for choosing the Vitus Audio RS-101

Reference Stereo Amplier, we are sure you will enjoy it for many

years to come. When purchasing a Vitus Audio product, you are

guaranteed a musical performance, which exceeds the current

musical standards. Vitus Audio is dedicated to musical performance

rather than technical details and high performance measures.

At Vitus Audio everything works until proven not to. This way we

always try to push the limits and explore the unexplored. As a result

of this, many of the solutions we use today are considered to be

“impossible to ever get working”, however they have convinced

many people and reviewers world wide of the opposite. Before any

of our new topologies are implemented in our products, they are

carefully reviewed by our dedicated listening panel. This way we can

guarantee the correct level of musically performance and robustness.

Generally we’re after super neutral, super detailed and super dynamic

reproduction without “loosing” the nerve in the music which often

is a drawback of many high end ampliers. Our real strongholds are

complete silence, unbelievable depth and width in the soundstage

resulting in a far more open sound with higher resolution – you could

say, closer to the artist. As a result of the above, our ampliers do not

“focus” on any specic frequencies - i.e. no extension of top or bass,

which of course results in high clarity of the midrange since

it’s “naturally present”!

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

This is your RS-101 owner’s manual. The following pages will,

as clearly as possible, describe how to get your RS-101 operating

quickly and easily. Although some operations are self-explanatory,

we strongly suggest you read this manual to avoid any damage to

the unit. The manual is designed to be helpful. If there are points you

feel we could cover better, or that we have missed out – please tell

us by sending an email with your nding to: sales@avagroup.nu

Reference Series is your entry point to the world of Vitus Audio.

The components in this series are cost-optimised versions of the

products in our Signature Series. Although the cost is lower, this

does not mean we have compromised on results. As with every Vitus

Audio product, the sound you experience remains breathtaking.

Maintenance and safety notice

Vitus Audio products are designed to run for many years without

the need for regular maintenance.

The Vitus Audio RS-101 contains no user serviceable parts except

from the mains fuse. Do not attempt to open the case as there are

potentially dangerous voltages present inside. Should your RS-101

show signs of malfunction, then please contact your dealer

or Vitus Audio.

Mains fuse

The mains fuse is accessible from the outside of the amplier. You

will nd the mains fuse, just below the power inlet. If the fuse blows,

you can easily replace it. The fuse only blows on the occurrence of

power surges or if there is a fault in the unit. Normally power surges

cause no other damage other than blowing the fuse. When the fuse

blows repeatedly on replacement, then the unit most likely has a

malfunction. In case of malfunction the unit must be returned to

Vitus Audio for repair.

Fuse type:

Physical size - 20 x 5mm

240V - 6.3A T (Time lag fuse)

230V - 6.3A T (Time lag fuse)

115V - 12A T (Time lag fuse)

100V - 12A T (Time lag fuse)

Replacing the fuse with a fuse of a type and rating dierent from

the original, might result in damage to the unit and injury to you

(the user). Damage to the unit as a result of incorrectly replacing

the mains fuse, will invalidate the warranty.

For an explanation of how to replace the fuse see chapter 4

“replacing a blown fuse”.

Mains supply voltage

Any unit may be set for operation in 100V, 115V, 230V or 240V AC.

The units shipped are set for the mains supply voltage of the

destination. The mains supply voltage can be changed in the product.

In some cases, this work can be performed by our authorised partners

around the world. In rare cases we would ask that the product is

returned to the Vitus Audio factory in Denmark for the conversion

to be done.
