A good Understanding of these details will help ensure Satisfactory ‘operation and long lif for your product. ‘The story behind the sound. In 1972 Dr. Otala and Mr, Lohstro finished thelr work in analysing transistor amplifiers to determine what actually created the "transistor sound” In general transistorized designs. The results of their innovative design work were Incorporated in the legendary 25 watt ampitier. This product was the first commercial transistor amplifier to use this new design approach, and the amplifier was Immadiataly recognised as dramatically more musical and dynamic sounding than any other transistor amplifier. The ‘same dasign philosophy has been constantly updated by additional research and development. This philosophy forms the basis of the new ABRAHAMSEN® design, ‘After the 25 watt amplfier had established a new standard for transistor amplifiers, research was undertaken to find ways to make the amplifier even better, and to extend Its highty musical sound quality to more powerful amplifier design.OR Unpacking the V4.0 Immediately upon recelpt of the V4.0, inspect the carton for possible damage during shiament. The carton and pac- kaging have been designed to provide the safest possible protection for the transport of your amplifier. Unpack the unit Carefully. Save all packaging materials for future shipment. ‘The contents of the carton 1 pos ABRAHAMSENO V4.0 4 pes AC maine cord 2 pcs XLR- RCA adapter 4 pes Owners manual 1 pes Spare fuse (located in the fuse drawer, mains inlat. See page 11) any of the items mentioned above are not included In the carton, please contact your authorized ABRAHAMSENO dealer, distributer, or ECS Holding AS for assistance, Setup procedure Before connecting the V4.0 to the mains, check that the mains voltage indicated on the rear panel corresponds to the line voltage in the territory you intend to use the unit How to avold damages Do not under any circumstances connect or disconnect equip ment when power Is turned on. The design of the RCA plug generates @ huge transient when inserted. Connecting or dis- Connecting equipment wth the power on can resutt in severe damage to both speaker and amplifier. How to avoid noise problems. The V4.0 contains delicate circults tat are sensitive to mag- netic strayfields. The unit should not be placed near mains transformers, TV sets etc. Care should be taken regarding placement of the interconnect cables. Oo not run interconnect cables in paralel with mains cords or speaker cables. Keep interconnect and speaker cables as short as possible. How to avoid antenna problems In some set-ups hum may occur when you connect the radio, VOR or TV to your system. The problem is caused by DC voltage coming from your antenna. Please contact your cable network operator.Installation and connection How to connect your product. Please read these pages carefully(page @ and 9) Do net under any circumstances connect or disconnect equipment when the power Is turned on, Stereo operation = * | “Use the included (RCA to XLR adapter) to enter the XLR inputs with a single ended source.TSIEN Peer Mono operationictions Rear panel controls, The power on/off switchs localised on the left side ofthe mains Inlet on the rear panel.

Mono operation Push the "Stereo / Mono” switch out(LEO en), Connect one channel of the preampitier tothe Right input of the V4.0. Leave the let input open. Connect the positive speeker terminal to the ampltiers postive right output. Connect the negative speaker terminal to the amplifiers positive left output, Do net load the ampitier with impedance lower than 2 ohms oy How to power up your system You should always power up your system the following way: Signal sources (CD player, tuner ete.) frst, Then the pream- pliierpower amplifier’. When turning your system off, you should start by switching off your power amplifier. Finally the signal source devices. Important notice For optimal sonic performance, the V4.0 should be burned infor a minimum time of 96 hours. Ifthe product has been ewitched of, allow two hours of ‘warm-up to optimise sonic performance, Dus to high class A operation in all ABRAHAMSENO designs, itis normal for the product to feel warm. Proper ventlation Is important, The product should NEVER be completely covered. ‘A.good rule of thumb isto allow at least 3-5 em (1-2 inches) of air sidewise, and 6-8 em (2-3 inches) above the product.LES Maintenance interval To maintain maximum performance and to protect your invest- ‘ment, itis essential that your products serviced in accordance te the correct maintenance interval Every 6000 hours we recommend you to have maintenance ‘on your product, This operation involves, among other things, cleaning of connectors, adjustments of DC voltage and idling current(class Area). See page 4 Servicing Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the user manual unless you are qualified ta-do so, Servicing Is required when the product has been damaged in any way, such as the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has been dropped. Do not remove any cover There are areas vith high voltages inside. To reduce the risk of electric shack, do nat remove any cover iftha AC powercord is connected. The cover should 08 removed by qualified person- rel only. No user serviceable parts inside. Cleaning When the product needs a cleaning, you can blow off dust from the amplifier with a blower or clean with a rag ete. Don’t Use solvents such as alcohol er other fluids with very strong volatiity and fiammabilty for cleaning the apperatus bod. Fuse To prevent a fire, make sure to use fuses with specified standara(current, voltage. type). Do not use a differant fuse or shor circuit the fuse holder. Before replacing the fuse, turn OFF the product and disconnect the powercord, SPARE FUSE MAIN FUSEEN aer It Service is needed Your dealer will have all relevant information regarding the service station in your area, and will ensure that your unit is. serviced with minimum delay.
