Figura 1: Konnessjonijiet tal-Panel ta' Wara
This image displays the rear panel of the Audiolab 6000A, highlighting the comprehensive array of input and output terminals. From left to right, you can see the power input with an on/off switch, speaker binding posts for left and right channels, a 12V trigger output, digital inputs (two optical, two coaxial), a USB input, and analog RCA inputs (three line-level, one phono). There are also pre-out and power-in RCA connections for flexible system integration.

Konnessjonijiet tal-Ispeaker

Connect your loudspeakers to the speaker binding posts on the rear panel. Ensure correct polarity: connect the positive (+) terminal of the amplifier to the positive (+) terminal of the speaker, and the negative (-) terminal of the amplifier to the negative (-) terminal of the speaker. Use high-quality speaker cables for optimal performance. The 6000A supports banana plugs, spade connectors, or bare wire.

Inputs Analogiċi

The 6000A provides multiple analog RCA inputs:

• AUX1, AUX2, AUX3: For connecting line-level sources such as CD players, tuners, or network streamers.
• FONU: A dedicated input for turntables with a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge. Ensure your turntable is properly grounded to the ground terminal next to the PHONO input.

Inputs Diġitali

Utilize the integrated DAC by connecting digital sources:

• OPT1, OPT2: Optical (Toslink) inputs for devices like TVs, game consoles, or digital audio players.
• COAX1, COAX2: Coaxial (S/PDIF) inputs for CD transports, media servers, or other digital sources.
• USB: Connect your computer (PC or Mac) to this input for high-resolution audio playback. Install any necessary drivers as per Audiolab's website if required for your operating system.

Tqabbil tal-Bluetooth

Biex tgħaqqad apparat Bluetooth:

1. Select the Bluetooth input on the 6000A using the 'SEL' knob.
2. Fuq it-tagħmir mobbli tiegħek, ippermetti l-Bluetooth u fittex tagħmir disponibbli.
3. Select "Audiolab 6000A" from the list. Once paired, the display will confirm the connection.

Pre-out and Power-in Connections

The 6000A offers flexibility for system expansion:

• PRE-ĦRUĠ: Qabbad ma 'enerġija esterna amplifier or active subwoofers.
• QAWWA FI: Allows the 6000A's power amplifier section to be used independently, bypassing the pre-amplifier. This is useful for integrating into a home theater system where an AV receiver handles pre-amplifikazzjoni.

Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija

Once all audio connections are made, connect the supplied power cable to the IEC inlet on the rear panel and then to a suitable mains power outlet. Ensure the power switch on the rear panel is in the 'OFF' position before connecting to mains power.

Operating the Audiolab 6000A

Kontrolli tal-Panew ta' Quddiem

This image shows the sleek front panel of the Audiolab 6000A, featuring three rotary knobs labeled 'SEL', 'MODE', and 'VOL' from left to right, along with a central OLED display. A headphone jack and power button are also visible on the right side.

• SEL (Source Select) Knob: Rotate to cycle through available input sources (e.g., AUX1, OPT1, USB, Bluetooth). Press to confirm selection or enter sub-menus.
• Pum tal-MODALITÀ: Rotate to select the amplifier's operating mode (Integrated, Pre-Power, Pre-Amplifier) or to navigate menu options. Press to confirm selection.
• Manku tal-VOL (Volum): Rotate clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease volume.
• Display OLED: Shows the selected input, volume level, and menu options.
• Buttuna tal-Qawwa: Agħfas biex tixgħel jew titfi l-unità (standby).
• Ħruġ tal-headphones: A 6.35mm (1/4 inch) jack for connecting headphones.

Modi Operattivi

The Audiolab 6000A offers three primary operating modes, selectable via the MODE knob:

• Modalità Integrata: This is the standard mode where the 6000A functions as a complete integrated amplifier, handling both pre-amplifikazzjoni u l-poter amplifikazzjoni.
• Modalità ta' Qabel l-Enerġija: In this mode, the pre-amplifier section is bypassed, allowing the 6000A to act solely as a power amplifier. This is useful when connecting an external pre-amplifier or an AV receiver's pre-outs.
• qabelAmpModalità lifier: The 6000A functions as a standalone pre-amplifier, sending its output to an external power amplifier. The internal power amplifier section is disengaged.

Ensure the correct mode is selected for your system configuration. Accidental changes to the mode knob can render the amplifier non-functional until the correct mode is re-selected.

Filtri DAC

The integrated ESS 9018K2M DAC offers selectable digital filters to fine-tune the sound to your preference or the characteristics of the audio source. These filters can typically be accessed through the unit's menu system (using the SEL or MODE knob to navigate and select).

• Fast Filter: Often provides a more detailed and precise soundstage, suitable for well-recorded music.
• Slow Filter: Can help to tame harshness or boosted high frequencies in certain recordings, offering a smoother sound.
• Phase Filter: May be used to adjust phase characteristics, potentially improving the overall smoothness and naturalness of the sound, particularly with older recordings.

Experiment with these filters to find the setting that best complements your music and listening environment.

Kontroll mill-bogħod

The Audiolab 6000A comes with a remote control for convenient operation. The remote allows control over input selection, volume adjustment, mute, and other menu functions. Familiarize yourself with the remote's layout for optimal use. Note that some buttons on the remote may be designed for other Audiolab products and may not have a function with the 6000A.

Manutenzjoni
