Schiit MJOLNIR - Introduction; Connections Overview; Safety and Precautions

Small, cool, light...none of these words
describe Mjolnir 3. Come in, it’s Class A.
It’s dual mono. It has 2 giant chokes. It’s
fully discrete down to the power supply.
There’s no microprocessor. Every switch
is solid and mechanical. It’s big for a
desk, it runs hot, it’s denitely not for
everyone...but it may be just the thing if
you want a crazy Class A headamp.
INTRODUCTION
CONNECTIONS
1 Balanced input. Connect to any com-
ponent with balanced outputs using XLR
cables. There won’t be any conversion to
SE inside or any other funny business.
2 Single-ended input. Connect any
SE source with RCA cables. They’ll
automagically be converted to balanced
thanks to the differential input stage.
3 Balanced preamp output. If you’re using
powered monitors or external speaker
amps with balanced inputs, connect them
here with XLR cables.
4 Single-ended preamp output. No
balanced inputs? Connect to your powered
monitors or external speaker amps from
here with RCA cables.
5 Power switch. Up is on, down is off.
Sound only comes out when it’s on.
6 AC input. Connect the supplied AC cord
here, or you won’t get any sound even if
the power switch is on. You can even use
a fancy power cord if you like; not that it’ll
make any difference.
The following is required by the roughly 9,542
government agencies and regulations we have

case, read these instructions before proceeding farther,
follow all instructions, and heed all warnings. Or else!
