About the GamuT D 3i

Design considerations

The cabinet is of a rigid construction using massive and genuine high-grade materials, mostly alumi-
num. The use of non-magnetic materials is a vital foundation for ultra clean high-end reproduction of 
music. 

It also contributes to the touch and feel factor and is essential for a long lasting life even in a tough 
environment. 

A GamuT product is built to be used daily and we expect our products to be in the “

fi

 eld” for many 

years to come.

Under normal circumstances the D 3i should not need inspection or service for quite a while. 
Should you experience break down or worn parts, these are easily replaceable or repairable and our 
service partners around the world would be happy to help.  

Electrical circuitry considerations

All components used in the D 3i are of the highest quality and have been selected through intensive 
listing sessions from the PCB itself over the non-magnetic chassis to the legendary Neutrik XLR con-
nectors.
 
The D 3i is based on following GamuT specialties:

Dual Mos-fet hybrid in-and output buffer 
Soft coupled feet suspend the complete chassis
Internally shielding separates the cabinet for power supply and ampli

fi

 er section

Dual mono construction with separate power supply for each channel
Very powerful power supply with high bandwidth and low impedance

Unpacking

Carefully cut open the box with a knife. Remove the cables from the carton and lift up the D 3i from 
inside the box. Remove the protective plastic enclosing the ampli

fi

 er. Please be careful not to place 

the D 3i on the front panel or bend the various terminals on the backside when doing so.

Please keep the packaging material in a safe place as it might come in handy later.
