Virtue ONE & TWO Owner’s Manual

You will attach speaker cables to the glorious Propeller Post™ binding posts. They support banana plugs,
bare wire, and spades.
Banana plugs are simply inserted in the back
of the plug. Banana plugs are the most
convenient attachment option.
Bare wire can be wrapped around the post or inserted through
the hole. Be sure the brass bushing is above the hole as
shown. Spades and bare wire provide the opportunity for an
all-copper signal path (on the TWO).
If you are using bare wire or spades, twist down the posts to make a solid connection. Check the connections
again in a week to see they remain snug. If snug, they should remain that way.
You may connect speakers with an impedance of anywhere from 2 ohms to 16 ohms, without problem. Lower
impedances may cause the amp to shut down; higher impedances may not have optimum frequency
response. But you'll be fine with the vast majority of speakers on the market. Running the amp without
speakers will not harm it.

Making sure that the unit is turned off, you will then plug in the power brick to your AC mains power socket.
The power bricks we ship are regulated so they already have much of the circuitry that you find in many power
conditioners. However, you may still want to use a power conditioner to supply smoother and more consistent
current.

You can now depress the power switch to turn on the unit. When you do, the blue LED on the front panel will
illuminate. Also, you will notice a red light momentarily behind the volume control. Seeing this light flash
during startup, shutdown, and under very heavy loads (signaling clipping) is normal. If you see the red light
come on often or consistently during normal listening, please consider upgrading the PSU or turning down the
volume. Clipping can damage speakers.
