power outage occurs. Power is not disconnected when the Nº433 is
in standby or sleep mode.
When power returns, the Nº433 will require a brief warm-up and
break-in period (not the full 300 hours). It is recommended that you
allow the Nº433 and other audio components to stabilize for a few
minutes.
Operating States
The Nº433 has four operating states:
1. Off
Power is disconnected from the ~ac mains connector.
2. Sleep Mode
Power is connected to a small power supply, communication
circuits and control circuits. When taken out of sleep mode, the
Nº433 requires a brief warm-up and break-in period. In sleep mode,
the Nº433 consumes approximately 10W of power.
3. Standby
Power is connected to the main power supply and voltage gain
stages. Power is not connected to the output (current gain) stage.
Because voltage gain stages are kept at their normal operating
temperatures, the Nº433 remains warmed-up to deliver an optimal
performance. In standby, the Nº433 consumes approximately
100W of power.
4. On
Power is connected to the ~ac mains connector and all power
amplifier components.
