Schiit Ragnarok - Manual (Page 3)

Ragnarok is the ultimate amplifier—for Schiit, anyway.
No, we’re not suddenly going to be putting out an even
more super-duper amp, not after two years of R&D to
stuff in full microprocessor management of all amplifier
operational parameters, including bias, offset, and fault
protection, a 64-level relay switch stepped attenuator
and three gain levels, a whole new gain stage optimized
for the Crossfet™ architecture and offering the same
feedback level and compensation for all gain levels, and
complete, transparent handling of both balanced and
single-ended signals. Ragnarok isn’t just overbuilt—it’s
completely and utterly insane.
Ragnarok isn’t designed to compete with end-game
amps costing several times as much—it’s designed to
outperform them, and do much more while doing so.
From IEMs to speakers, from balanced inputs to
single-ended headphones, this is Schiit’s real end
game. Welcome to the end of the world: Ragnarok.
ONE
Ragnarok Universal Managed Amplifier
ONE
Power cord (for, like, well duh)
ZERO
Stick-on feet (because the amp already has screw-in
feet—you’ve reached the big leagues now, guys)
ZERO
Crystals, cryo-nano-dampers, alien wave absorbers,
or any other magical parts
As a managed amplifier, Ragnarok may operate differently than
you expect. Keep these things in mind when using Ragnarok:
1. On turn-on, input select, and gain select, Ragnarok does a system
check to protect your speakers and headphones. While it is doing
this, the output will be muted and the LEDs on the front will flash.
2. The volume control works like a volume control, not an endlessly
spinning pinwheel. If you turn it all the way up while Ragnarok is
doing a system check, it could be bad news for your headphones or
speakers when the system unmutes.
3. It is normal for the volume control to sound as if it mutes and
unmutes as you turn it up or down—because that’s exactly what it’s
doing, to prevent pops through the speakers or headphones.
