Unpacking your Pre-Amplifier
The shipping weight of your Chapter Preface Pre-Amplifier is 11 KG.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, one person should be able to unpack the
unit safely. If you are in any doubt, please obtain the assistance of a second person.
To avoid back injury whilst carrying your amplifier (or any other piece of heavy
equipment) please crouch with a straight back and use your leg muscles.
After unpacking your pre-amplifier, please retain all packaging for future transport. If
you move house or you need to ship your pre-amplifier, only the custom designed
flight case provided is acceptable. Any other method of shipping may result in
damage and such damage is not covered under warranty.
Please inspect your pre-amplifier for possible damage due to shipping. If you
discover any, contact your Chapter Audio dealer immediately.
Your Chapter Preface Pre-Amplifier will deliver excellent performance straight out of
the box, however, you should expect to hear it improve as it reaches its normal
operating temperatures and its various components ‘break-in’. In our experience the
most significant changes occur within the first 30 - 50 hours use, but the unit
will continue to improve in sound quality for about 100 hours, after which time it
remains quite consistent.
If the power is removed and reconnected to the pre-amplifier, you must allow a brief
‘warm up’ period for the unit to give off its best.
However, it is not recommended to leave your Chapter Preface Pre-Amplifier on
permanently.
