Menu Features e Stellar Strata Amplier features a menu display system that is accessible using the small
selector button and the large silver knob. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the dierent
functions in the Stellar Strata Amplier’s menu. To access the menu, simply press and hold the
menu button to the le of the display. A gear icon will appear in the upper right corner showing
that you are in the Settings menu.
Exiting the Menus
Executing a long press of the menu button (holding for more than two seconds) will exit the
menus and return the unit to the Home screen. e menus will also timeout aer seven seconds.
Note that settings are typically saved in real time as the changes are made.
Balance
e Balance feature allows you to adjust the center location of the stereo image. Turning the knob
to the le will reduce the gain of the right channel, thus making the image to come more from
the le channel, and vice-versa. e balance steps are each 1/4dB and the range is 48 steps each
way for a maximum shi of 12dB.
When the balance is set to anything other than the center position, there will be an icon on the
Home screen to indicate this state.
Phase
e phase feature allows you to invert the signal from the digital inputs. (It does not aect the
analog sources) Turning the knob will change the absolute polarity of the signal from “Norm”
(Normal) to “Inv” (Inverted). is can be useful when listening to certain source material which
may have inverted absolute polarity. NOTE: Some listeners are more sensitive to absolute polarity
than others.
