Foreword
First of all, thank you for choosing an Alluxity product.
The Alluxity products are built to be very user-friendly and very modern. One of the main focuses has
been making a product that the High-end industry has not seen before, but still being faithful to the ‘old’
techniques; so basically mixing the old school with the new school.
Introduction
About this manual
This is the Alluxity Media One manual, which covers all of the basics, describes how to connect your
Alluxity product, how to handle it, how to use it and etc. Although some operations are self-explanatory,
we strongly suggest you read this manual before using the products to avoid damaging the unit or yourself.
The manual is designed to be as helpful as possible, and if there is something we have not explained clearly
enough, please let us know.
Turning the Hifi setup on and off*
Always turn on your products beginning from the source:
CD player / Music server > Pre-amplifier > Power-amplifier
Always turn off your products in reverse order:
Power-amplifier > Pre-amplifier > CD player / Music server
*Doing otherwise may cause harm to your equipment.

General information
There are a few things you should know about the product to prevent damaging it:
• The products are heavy, so be very careful when moving it around. We suggest that you are always 2
people lifting any of the Alluxity products, to prevent dropping it and cause harm to the unit and your-
self.
• When any of the Alluxity products have been running for more than 10 minutes, the input and output
selections are saved as the default.
• Pressing the touch display too hard will damage it, and leave a darker area. This damage to the products
is not covered by warranty. We suggest that you use the tip of your finger and/or a bit of your nail.
• The surface is painted with powder coat which is strong paint that is highly scratch and break resistant.
If a sharp object hits the surface this can leave a mark that sometimes can be removed with a wet cloth,
but warranty does not cover any damage done by chemical use.
• Avoid placing any of the Alluxity products in a small closed invironment as a cabinet. The products need
airflow to avoid overheating.
