ENELICIT MK5
Thank you for purchasing the Rega Elicit MK5. The Elicit is a stereo integrated amplier designed to deliver the purest musical
performance. Housed in a brand new custom designed case to match the rest of the Rega range, the new MK5 builds on previous Rega
designs by using our multi-award-winning Class A/B power amplier circuit to deliver a powerful 105W per channel into 8Ω loads. This
power is provided by an ample, quiet multi-stage linear supply whilst supply rails for digital and analogue sections are galvanically isolated.
The Elicit is capable of driving dicult loudspeakers with ease and will integrate perfectly into any audio system by oering a wide range
of connectivity options. In addition to line, digital, and a high-quality moving magnet (MM) phono inputs, you will also nd pre-out, Direct in,
Record loop functionality and a high-performance headphone output.
The Elicit now shares other design features taken directly from the highly acclaimed Aethos amplier. You will nd the same discrete FET
based pre-amplier circuit and Alps volume potentiometer have been introduced to further improve sonic and technical performance.
As you would expect, special attention has been paid to the selection of key audio components. Discrete circuitry, high-quality relays,
polypropene capacitors, and Sanken output transistors are used throughout the design.
The galvanically/optically isolated digital inputs utilise a Wolfson S/PDIF receiver IC to provide exceptional detail and clarity from any
connected source. Output is provided by a Wolfson DAC and Rega designed discrete line-driver circuit.
The new Elicit MK5 calls upon decades of award-winning experience in amplier and digital circuit design which culminates in a perfectly
engineered balance of reliability, connectivity and above all, accurate music reproduction.
INSTALLATION & VENTILATION
The Elicit amplier will work well on most surfaces, such as a shelf or a table, provided there is sucient air around the heat sinks to
prevent overheating. If using a turntable, avoid magnetic interference by positioning the amplier as far away from the turntable as the
tonearm lead will allow. If possible, place it to the left of the turntable. Keep other equipment away from the amplier. Due to the layout of
Rega’s amplier circuit designs, they are virtually insusceptible to electromagnetic interference, and by virtue of a full metal enclosure, emit
practically no electromagnetic radiation. However, placing any electronic equipment such as sensitive phono ampliers close together may
impair the performance of one or both items. Never stack other hi- components on top of the Elicit.
WARNING: Heat sinks may become very hot!
WARNING: The mains supply cord functions as a mains disconnect device.
The socket outlet should therefore be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.
The heat produced by the Elicit amplier is dispersed via the heat sinks located on either side of the product. Please ensure adequate
space around the exterior of the product to allow for sucient airow, otherwise overheating may result. If the Elicit is driven at high volume
for a long period it may become quite warm. This is entirely acceptable as long as there is sucient ventilation and the amplier will
continue to work normally without damage. If the amplier is overdriven it may overheat, however the Elicit contains thermal protection that
will disable the output or the power to the product temporarily. Once the product has cooled it will automatically resume normal operation.
Never place the amplier on carpets, rugs or bedding.
