Installing the ARIA SIGNATURE
1. Locate where to place the ASIG Integrated in your system.
2. Be sure the main components in the system are turned off until the ASIG is installed.
3. Connect the turntable system to the rear MM phono inputs of the ASIG and be sure it has a high
output cartridge.
4. Connect the other line inputs In 1, 2, 3 and Bal in (balanced in) to your sources.
Note that input 3 is at a separate location near the MM phono inputs. The front panel input
selector may label it as PH MC.
5. The Bypass input allows direct access to the ASIG’s power amplifier by disconnecting from its
preamplifier section. The preamplifier output may be connected to a processor or other device and
the output of the device to the bypass input thus, inserting it in the signal path.
6. The preamplifier output (balanced or unbalanced) operates an external device.
7. The headphone jack is located on the front panel. It will require a standard ¼” plug. A 3.5 mm phone
plug will require an adapter. To operate the headphones turn on the MUTE function, This will turn
off the power amplifier so that only the headphones are on.
8. Connect the speaker wires to the ASIG’s binding posts observing polarity (red + positive and black –
negative). Never use raw untinned stranded speaker wireas a short circuit could occur ( even though
the ASIG is protected). Preferably use spade lugs or banana plugs. The ASIG operates at any 4 to 16
ohm load
9. Once all proper connections are made, connect AC power to the ASIG using the supplied power
cord or a satisfactory custom one.
10. Now you are ready to the ARIA Signature Integrated Amplifier.
11. Preparation and Checkout
Like any high performance, audiophile quality component, Power Modules components require about
250 hours of circuit forming (burn-in) time before a realistic evaluation of its capabilities can take place.
