Front panel description
Orange neon indicator
This indicator becomes illuminated when the power is on.
Volume control
Adjust as required. Please note that compared to other pre-amplifiers, you may need to turn the control
to a higher setting that you are accustomed to. The specific setting needed is however not relevant to
system performance and the K-10’s volume is so designed.
Input selector
Use this to select the required input 1 thru 4.
General use
Burn in time
If your K-10 has not been used for some months, relocated or is brand new, it might require two or
three days of power on state to “bed in the components”. Such may be done by simply leaving the
pre-amplifier on for a couple of days. It is not specifically required for the K-10 to be passing thru a
music signal during this process.
Warm up time
Upon power up the K-10 will become functional after about twenty seconds or so. After a further twenty
minuets, optimal sound quality will be available.
Please note: The K-10 is not designed to be left on permanently. Please turn it off when there is no
intended use for some time.
Cleaning and maintenance
The K-10 may be dusted down with a soft cloth. A cloth dampened in a mild solution of soap and warm
water may be effective at removing grease.
If you live in a corrosive environment it may be worthwhile to keep the K-10 covered with a large cloth
when not in use. To keep the K-10 looking brand new it may also be beneficial to guard any un-used
input and output sockets with a suitable masking tape or similar.
Servicing
Servicing should only be undertaken when there is a fault condition within the pre-amplifier. Please
contact your distributor or alternatively Robert Koda for advice and we will provide prompt assistance.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this pre-amplifier.
