Using your Audion
Congratulations you are now ready to switch your Audion on. But
first we recommend turning the volume control on the front panel
anti-clockwise to zero. On the rear panel locate the on/off button.
Push the button downwards to position 1, this has now turned your
Audion on. You will notice if everything has been installed correctly
that your valves/tubes are starting to glow, your Audion is now
“Warming up”. We recommend that an initial few minutes is
allowed for the warm up process to take place. A valve/tube will
change its audio characteristics slightly once it has reached its
nominal operating temperature.
Select your sound source, CD, record, etc. and play. Once your
source has started playing adjust the volume control to your
required level.
On the Integrated model, the five switches correspond to the five
inputs on the rear and can be switched in and out accordingly.
