Setup
Connecting
The first stage in setting up your EXOTIK is to connect your sources, power amp(s) and
other peripheral devices to the EXOTIK.
1. Ensure your EXOTIK and all components that you will be connecting to the EXOTIK
are disconnected from the mains supply.
2. Connect your source components, power amp(s) and any communication/control
devices you wish to use, referring to the back panel diagram in the
Connecting
chapter (page 3).
3. Connect the EXOTIK to the mains supply and turn the unit on using the switch on
the back panel. After a few seconds the front panel will display EXOTIK or
EXOTIK+DA depending on your unit.
4. Press the key on the front panel or handset.
The main stage in setup is configuring the EXOTIK pre-amplifier to suit your
requirements. This is achieved using the setup menus. How to configure the EXOTIK is
explained in the rest of this chapter.

In addition, the EXOTIK features an INSTALLER MENU for saving the configuration of the
