Note: If AC mains power to the Nº380 is interrupted, the
main output will be muted. When power is restored,
the initialization sequence described above will restore
the preamplifier to normal operation, with the main
output muted and the display indicating OFF.
We recommend you allow the circuitry within your various system
components to stabilize for 1 to 2 minutes before use after such a
power outage.
setup overview The Nº380 Preamplifier has many provisions for custom-tailoring the
system’s operation to match your preferences. The consistent method
for modifying any of these settings is to enter a
setup mode by:
• pressing and holding a button for several seconds;
• the setting is then modified, either by pressing a button or
turning the volume knob;
• and then the new preference is confirmed by pressing and
holding the original button again for several seconds.
This three-step process is simple and logical, yet provides positive feed-
back that your change has been accepted and saved for future use. (If
you allow the preamp to “time out” after changing something, your
change will still be saved.).
To facilitate operation in complex multisource systems, the Nº380 is
capable of displaying a wide variety of names for each of its six inputs.
The available names are listed below.
