BREAK-IN PERIOD
Your new Ayon Audio electronics Crossfire tube amplifier has an initial break–in period.
The unit will not perform to its full sonic potential when first installed in your system. This is partially
due to a residual polarization of the dielectric materials used in the PCB, like resistors, capacitors,
chokes, transformers and internal wiring. As music is played through the unit, the electrical signal
will gradually anneal these materials. Only after the break-in period will the full performance of
your Ayon Audio Crossfire is fully realized. The break-in process will occur naturally as music is
played through the system. The recommended break-in procedure is as follows:
° Initial warm-up: five to eight hours of quiet music.
° Extended break- in: 30 to 50 hours of mid volume level and dynamic source material.
Note: For best results, do not burn–in your Crossfire continuously for more than 6- 8 hours. Give
the unit a break before you turn it on again. Burn-in the Crossfire without any stress and be sure
to use the system, “Normally”. During the break-in period, the sonic properties of your unit may
undergo several gradual shifts as the various components break–in at different rates. It is
therefore suggested that the fine tuning of the system be delayed until after the break–in
period is completed. However, during the final phases of the break–in period, the sonic image
will open up, the sound stage will bloom to perfection, the bass control and impact will increase
and the overall sound will have a more involving sound stage presentation.

Tube Life Expectancy
When tubes are new they are at slightly greater risk of going bad during there break in period.
This is called infant mortality. After the break in time period the tubes will stabilize and last for the
several thousand hours of operation unless traumatized by being jarred or dropped. For
maximum audio quality however we recommend replacing the tubes after 3000 – 5000 hrs of
operation.
