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 an overall manual that covers all of the basics. It describes how to connect your
Alluxity product and how to use it. 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 but please let us know if there is something we have not
explained clearly enough.
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 products to prevent dropping it and cause harm to the unit and yourself.
• 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.
Getting started
Unpacking the box
After you have opened the top of the box and gently removed the protecting foam from the top and
from the sides, you can now really gently take out the amplifier.*
*To prevent dropping the product or injuring yourself when lifting an Alluxity product, please do not under
any circumstances lift any Alluxity products yourself. Always be at least two people to lift the product.

Using the touch display
All the Alluxity products uses a 5 inch, 800 x 480 pixels resistive touch display. The display is a robust in-
dustry screen that is highly resistant to cracks and therefor is not as sensitive as your average smartphone
touchscreen. This means that you will have to press gently on the display with the tip of your finger and/or
with you fingernail for it to react.
However, pressing too hard in the display can cause damage to it.
If you experience that there is no reaction from the touch display, do not increase the pressure,
but contact the nearest Alluxity cooperating partner.
How to connect an Alluxity product
When connecting an amplifier it’s very important not to switch around input and output.
Doing so will cause harm to the product.
To connect your Pre One properly, make sure that you take the left and right output from your
source and connect it to the same left and right input on the Pre One.
Right Red
Left White
The inputs must be either left and right RCA 1 or 2, XLR 1, 2 or 3.
Now connect either the RCA or the XLR outputs from the preamplifier to the equal input on the powerampli-
fier
(RCA RCA, XLR XLR).

How to change a broken fuse

as shown in the picture below.
Pre One : 230V = 0.5A and 115V = 1A
Power One : 230V = 6.3A and 115V = 10A
