5 Gain Indicators.

From left to right, 1,

5, and 20. Or, smallest

bar = 1, middle bar = 5,

tallest bar = 20.
6 Balanced

Headphone Output.

Connect headphones

terminated with

a standard 4-pin

balanced XLR here

(standard = AKG

K1000 style). Please

note that Ragnarok

can put its full power

out into balanced

headphones—up to

100W into 4 ohms—so

be very careful if using

sensitive headphones,

and start with the

lowest gain.

7 Single-Ended

Headphone Output.

Ragnarok also has

hardware summing of

the balanced output

to single-ended.

Although it doesn’t

put out as much

power as the balanced

headphone output

(being limited to only

about 3W into 32

ohms), it is still very

powerful. For very

sensitive headphones

and IEMs, stick to a

gain of 1—and unplug

them before you crank

up your speakers!

SCENE 1
Be very careful when using balanced

headphones—Ragnarok can deliver

it’s full output power into them!
SCENE 2
We suggest turning down the volume

when plugging or unplugging single-ended

headphones. Sorry, we didn’t design the

1/4” jack that shorts when you do this.

With Ragnarok’s current capability, it’s

best the music is off.
SCENE 3
Ragnarok’s volume control works just like

a real volume control—that is, it stops at

minimum and maximum volume, rather

than spinning endlessly. If you turn it up

while Ragnarok is self-checking, expect a

big blare of sound when it activates!
