INSTALLATION
The Aria will work well on most surfaces, provided there is sufficient air around it to
prevent overheating. To avoid any possible magnetic interference and increased hum
levels, position the Aria as far away from the turntable as the tonearm lead will
allow, this ensures all delicate electronics are kept away from other transformers
and motors etc. Try not to stack other Hi-Fi components directly on top of each
other. Given the nature of sensitive high gain phono amplifiers the Aria may need
placing away from high power amplifiers that use large transformers. If in the rare
event that low level noise should become overly intrusive, try using the lower gain
setting (see page 5), and move the unit away from possible noise sources as
described.
Ventilation
The minimal heat produced by the Aria is dissipated by the case, particularly the left
hand side. Try to ensure that the case has an uninterrupted air passage around it.
Warm up
The Aria circuit has been carefully designed to work with a minimal “warm up”
period of just a few minutes as the sensitive input circuits stabilise and reach their
optimal operating conditions. The MC input circuit uses a self-adjusting servo control
to keep the MC input circuit at its optimum operating point compensating for any
variations in ambient and operating temperature.
