INSTALLATION OF THE VACUUM TUBES
Place the Titania amplifier on a stable surface. Carefully remove the vacuum tubes from their
packaging and install them in the appropriate sockets, as show below, and adhering to the
numbering scheme as identified on the packaging. Please pay attention to the diameter of
the socket and to the appropriate orientation of the vacuum tube pins.
The pins in the base of each of the vacuum tubes are “coded”, and this has the result that
the insertion of the vacuum tube into the socket is possible only in one correct and
appropriate orientation. If, whilst inserting the vacuum tube you sense resistance, and you
can not push the tube into the socket, please check the orientation of its pins, rotate the
tube to the correct position and try again.
WHERE TO PLACE YOUR AMPLIFIER
Due to the presence of high temperatures during normal operation of the vacuum tubes, the
location that you pick to place your amplifier should ensure ample ventilation, a free flow of
air. Please maintain at least 10 cm clearance between the housing of the amplifier, together
with the vacuum tubes, and other devices or elements of the interior. The sound quality may
be degraded as a result of vibrations. Therefore we recommended to place the amplifier on
a flat and stable surface.
Excesive force may damage the socket and/or the pins of the vacuum tubes.
Never place the Fezz Audio Titania amplifier in the vicinity of sources that
produce large amounts of heat.
