Connecting your headphones to the AirHead
It’s always a good safety measure to turn the amp OFF (or turning the volume all the way
down) before connecting or disconnecting your headphones.
Break-In Time
Both headphones and headphone amplifiers require “break-in” (often called “burn-in”)
time before they provide optimal performance. Using your new headphone amp and/or
headphones for about 40 hours should provide sufficient break-in time. If you’d prefer some
unattended burn-in, the easiest way to do this is connect your system (source, AirHead, and
headphones) as described on page 5; turn the AirHead on and set it to a normal listening
volume; and then place your audio source in “repeat” mode and begin playback.
Adjusting the Volume
When adjusting the volume, turn the volume on your portable source about up 2/3 way
up if it doesn’t have a line out. Then use the volume control on the amp to adjust the
level. If you do have a line out feature on your source, then you will want to plug your
mini-to-mini cable in to that; and adjust the volume on your AirHead.
Using two pair of headphones with the AirHead
You can run two pair of headphones off your AirHead provided that they are of similar impedance
levels. Consult your headphone manufacturer’s website to confirm your headphones’ impedance
level. (The AirHead is able to drive headphones of different impedance levels; however the
volume level will not be the same between the two pair of headphones.)
Rubber Feet and Velcoins for the AirHead
You will find 3 rubber feet included with your AirHead, which you may stick to the correspond
-
ing divets on the bottom of the AirHead. You will also find Velcoins made out of both hook
(the scratchy side) and loop (the softer side). Attach the hook dots to the bottom of your
AirHead in the corresponding divets. The loop dots are to be used anywhere that you may
want to attach the AirHead, such as the back of your portable player, on your computer, or
inside a HeadRoom Bag.
Storing the AirHead
As with most electronic devices, we recommend removing the batteries from the AirHead
when storing the unit for a long period of time. Even though the AirHead will not drain the
batteries when it’s turned off, batteries sometime leak, which can damage the AirHead.
