General Warnings
Every piece of Consonance equipment is designed to produce the finest sound quality that
can be achieved, by avoiding compromise wherever possible. This can lead to circumstances
that may be unfamiliar to the equipment owner. The material that follows contains advice
specifically related to Consonance equipment as well as more general warning about the use
of domestic audio products.
Please read it carefully:
The transformers in Consonance amplifiers and power supplies may sometimes make a
mechanical noise caused by distortion of the mains waveform. Consonance transformers are
large in size and have heavy gauge secondary windings making them relatively sensitive to
such distortion. A separate mains circuit for your hi-fi system may reduce the effect while also
giving an overall improvement in sound quality. It may be necessary however to take account
of mechanical transformer noise when placing your equipment.
In some circumstances, depending on where you live and the grounding arrangements in
your home, you may experience radio frequency interference. Controls on broadcasting in
some territories allow very high levels of radio frequency radiation and both the choice and
exact placement of equipment may be critical. If there is a known problem in your locality it is
advisable to arrange for a home demonstration before purchase to ensure that your selected
Consonance equipment can be operated normally. Susceptibility to radio frequency
interference is related to the wide internal bandwidth necessary for high sound quality.
Systems incorporating moving coil phono preamplifiers and active crossovers are more likely
to suffer.
Troubleshooting Guide
From time to time you may experience problems in obtaining optimum equipment
performance. Following is list of frequently encountered problems.
Problem Solution
Power indicator and filaments do
not light
Check the fuse and make sure the amplifier is
plugged into a working power outlet
Sound out of one speaker only Turn volume control fully counter-clockwise and
reverse input connectors. If sound changes from
one speaker to the other, check source or replace
inter-connect wires. If the sound is still coming out
of the same speaker only, check speakers on
another piece of equipment for proper operation.
Static, noise, or hum Turn the potentiometers Individually clockwise or
counter-clockwise until the hum reduces to the
lowest level on each channel
Equipment problem could also be caused by fault in any part of the system or its installation.
