For initial power up press the main switch located on the back panel. The LED on the front
panel ligths red indicating the unit is now in stand by mode.
To switch the power amplifier on press the “ON/OFF” button located on the front panel.
The LED indicator flashes red to green whilst warming up for about 3-4 minutes. Red LED
turns to green when your Spartacus is ready for use.
If after switching the unit on by presisng the ON/OFF button, the front LED flashes in red,
this is to indicate a malfunction. Please turn the unit off and seek advise from your Thrax
Audio dealer.
To turn the power amplifier off press the "ON/OFF" buton. However if you are not going to
use the amplifier for a long period we recommend turning it off, using the power switch on
the back panel, to save power.
As with all high fidelity products, the sound characteristic changes somewhat as it warms
up. Best sound will be achieved after about 15 minutes of operation.
Any time that the Spartacus power amplifier has not been used for a few weeks the sound
may be different. This is also normal for high resolution audio equipment. Optimum sound
should return after a few hours of operation, preferably with an audio signal.
Note that although your Thrax Audio System has been run for 72 hours at the factory, it will
continue to "break in" for approximately 150 hours. Also be aware that many components
display the need for a new break in period after being transported in unheated cargo
aircraft.
