AC Inlet
Unless otherwise specified, the K-10 is designed for 240V use. AC voltage is marked on the back of the
K-10, just above the AC receptacle. This pre-amplifier will function to specification on any AC voltage
between 210 and 245V.
The power requirement is 30W when the unit is on and 0W when turned off.
Please ensure that your power cord remains earthed at all times. If this pre-amplifier is not earthed via
the AC power cable the pre-amplifier may constitute a dangerous electrical shock hazard under certain
fault conditions.
Power switch
Rear mounted above the power receptacle, the power switch combines the switching function with a
circuit breaker function. Press the rocker switch so the “1” becomes indented to power the K-10 up.
Push the switch so the “0” becomes indented to turn the unit off.
Sometimes it may appear that the switch is giving a little “bounce back” at the moment of turn on. This
is normal and simply indicates there was considerable momentry current draw. It is possible that the
switch may automatically click over from the on state to the off state. Such instances could indicate a
severe fault condition. The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing it back on but if it flips over back to
off then the pre-amplifier should be disconnected from the mains supply immediately and returned to
Robert Koda for inspection.
Note: The rear power switch does not illuminate.
Ground terminal
To aid system fine tuning, a chunky ground terminal is provided.
This terminal connects internally to the K-10’s chassis and AC inlet earth.
