Fuse Protection

 

 
A blown fuse in the VK-P10SE is an indication of a serious problem.  If a replacement fuse 
fails as well, no further attempts should be undertaken.  Please contact the factory for 
professional service. 
 
The proper fuse ratings are as follows: 
 
 

For 100-120 VAC Units: 

 

 

2A 250V Slow Blow 

 
 

For 200-240 VAC Units: 

 

 

1.5A 250V Slow Blow 

 
 

 

WARNING:

 

 

Factory supplied fuses should be only replaced with the same type and rating parts. 

 

 

 
Servicing 

 
The Balanced Audio Technology VK-P10SE should require no service other than changing 
tubes to maintain its high performance.  The vacuum tubes used in the VK-P10SE are high 
quality 6922’s and 6SN7’s rated for approximately 5000 hours of use.   Please direct any 
further service inquiries to the factory. 
 
 

Cleaning 

 
To remove dust, occasionally wipe the front and top surfaces of your VK-P10SE with a damp 
soft cloth.  If fingerprints appear, you may use a mild, non-alkaline soap solution.  Do not use 
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the fine finish of the unit.
