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 front panel locate the on/off button.
Push the button inwards, this has now turned your Audion on. Your
Audion is now “Warming up”. We recommend that an initial few
minutes is allowed for the warm up process to take place. When
switched on your Audion defaults to input No.3.
Select your sound source, the Platinum has three buttons – Up,
Down and Record. The up and down buttons change inputs from 1
to 5 and the Record button allows recording via RCA pair No. 6.
Once your source has started playing adjust the volume controls to
your required level.
The input marked 1 is optimised and should be utilised for your
primary source be it CD or external phono stage. The input marked
5 conveniently placed next to the tape out is for tape input which
can either be accessed by selecting No. 5 or by using the tape
monitor switch. The other inputs are all at line level and can be
used for any line level source. The tape output will output un-
attenuated line level signals as selected with the selector switches.
It should be noted that the tape monitor circuitry should be set to
line for normal operation.
The system should be used sympathetically and to obtain the best
results, ancillary equipment selection is vital. Many different set-
ups have been tried and tested but not all.
Warning:
Do not cover any of the slots of the case. Do Not Drive Shorted
Loads.
In general use your Audion should give many years of trouble free
use. The aluminium chassis should be wiped regularly with a clean
lint free cloth to remove dust. Under no circumstances should
solvent or solvent based products be used on or near your Audion.
