Setting Up and Using the Q5

Setting up your Q5 Headphone Amplifier is a simple procedure which

takes only a few minutes:

1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future

service) and plug the provided AC16 power adapter into the rear panel

AC input—but don’t plug the adapter into a wall outlet just yet.

2. Connect the output from the device you want monitored to the

Left/Right Amp input jacks on the Q5 rear panel (if you’re using the Q5

with an audio patchbay, see the “Using The Q5 With A Patchbay” section

on page 7). The Q5 accepts both balanced and unbalanced

signal; generally, balanced signal is preferable because it provides better

signal-to-noise ratio and reduced extraneous noise.

3. Turn the master Input knob and all five headphone Channel Output

knobs to their minimum (fully counterclockwise) setting and then plug

one to five sets of headphones into the front-panel Channel Headphone

jacks.

4. Plug the Q5 power adapter into a wall outlet and switch the unit on by

turning the Input Level knob clockwise. You’ll hear a click when first

turning the knob and the Power LED will light up. Start by setting the

knob to about the 3 o’clock position.

5. Apply a signal from the device connected to the Q5’s rear-panel

Left/Right Amp input jacks. Put on the first set of headphones and

slowly turn that headphone channel’s Output knob clockwise until you

hear the desired level. WARNING: Because the Q5 is capable of

generating extremely high signal levels, always start with the

Channel Output knob at minimum and then

slowly turn it up.

WARNING: Do not substitute any other kind of power adapter for

the provided one. The provided adapter is an AC step-down trans-

former; it is

not a DC converter. Use of any power adapter other

than the provided one can result in severe damage to the unit and

will void your warrantee!!
