Boulder Amplifiers 1012 DAC Preamplifier Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
GETTING STARTED
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your selection of the Boulder 1012 DAC
Preamplifier. We at Boulder Amplifiers are certain it will provide years
of listening pleasure.
QUICK START
To get started listening, you only need to connect the 1012 as
you would any other preamplifier, but you should take note of the
following.
WARNING: The polished volume control is attractive and because it
is optical and has no stops, it is really tempting to just spin it around. DO
THIS ONLY WITH THE POWER OFF! It must be given the respect you
would any other volume control with its ability to get loud very quickly.
By the time you have turned it up to -40.0 dB with a source turned on,
you should be hearing some music. If not, don’t proceed any louder until
you have solved the problem. See trouble shooting section.
For the 1012 to work properly, the Boulderlink’s MASTER/SLAVE
switch should be set to MASTER.
A thorough reading of this manual will definitely enhance your
enjoyment of your 1012 DAC Preamplifier.
