INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on becoming a happy owner of the SATRI AMP-51R.
The AMP-51R is our finest achievement to date, our next generation flagship amplifier, born from years of experience and
expertise in SATRI Circuit technology. Created with the highlighted features described below, the AMP-51R ensures the
best quality of music reproduction possible.

The All New Flagship SATRI Circuit
The AMP-51R uses our top-of-the-line SATRI-IC-UL and the latest
generation bias control circuit with a more stable current source
circuit that enhances the output stages’ performance. The circuit
is further enhanced by greatly reducing the signal paths and
interference between the components. The latest high power
MOSFETs from EXICON are implemented together with the
exclusive driver circuit which enables a more stable output stage
performance.
Advanced Control Circuit
An all new control circuit contributes to the AMP-51R’s stability by
automatically protecting itself from AC input changes, DC output
and high temperature. It also detects the voltage fluctuations and
controls the power supplies accordingly, so that the amplifier
runs from a stable power supply at all times. An OLED display
shows all the current status of the AMP-51R, and all operation of
the unit is done by two hidden knobs underneath the front panel
or with the remote controller.
Ultra Precision Stepped Attenuator Circuit
The Ultra Precision Stepped Attenuator is implemented for the
first time in a Bakoon amplifier, with only the best available high
precision resistors with 0.1% tolerance and 25 PPM/°C tempera-
ture coecient. The circuit is completely controlled by the micro-
processor unit (MPU) and it can be set in 50 steps, ensuring the
best possible channel balance and signal purity.
Ultra Low Noise Power Supply
Three separate power transformers are used for the input stages,
output stages and control stages. For the first time in a Bakoon’s
amplifier, a custom-made transformer from Plitron, boasting the
lowest possible noise level. The power supply circuit also employs
separate ultra-low noise regulator circuits to provide reliable
power for the AMP-51R’s high precision circuits.

➊
INPUT SELECT
Underneath the front panel, there is a knob with which you can switch
between and select input sources. Rotate it left or right swiftly, but
gently, to change the input. During the input change, the gain level is
automatically changed to zero (mute), after which it is then returned
to its last position step.
➋
POWER & GAIN
The power and gain control is combined with one single knob. With
the AC power cable plugged in, the AMP-51R goes into standby mode
with a separate standby transformer inside the unit. In standby mode,
rotating the knob swiftly to right will turn on the amplifier and rotating
it further to right will increase its gain level (or volume). Rotating it to
left will decrease its gain level and at the minimum gain level, or step 0,
rotating it swiftly further to left will turn o the unit and put the
amplifier back into standby mode.
Remarks: The latest generation bias circuit inside the AMP-51R stabilizes
its bias level during the initial turn-on period for about 12 seconds.
During this period, the AMP-51R is in mute mode with no signal output.
➌
OLED DISPLAY
The OLED display, will always display the current status of the AMP-
51R’s, and any changes made, the given text will show up at the
display. Also, should the AMP-51 enter into any protection mode, such
as problems from output DC, AC input or high temperature, this will
also be shown on the display.
➍
IR SENSOR
The small IR sensor located next to the OLED display receives the
remote controller’s signal. Be careful not to block its way.

AC POWER INLET
The AC POWER INLET contains an AC power receptacle (IEC
standard) and a fuse holder. Securely connect the AC power cable
here. When replacing the fuse, be sure to use the same type and
value specified on the marking label.
➋
MARKING LABEL
The MARKING LABEL is located under the power inlet. It describes
AC main voltage, power consumption, fuse type and value. Make
sure you check this label carefully before the installation.
Remarks: The AMP-51R incorporates an AC voltage sensing circuit
that detects incoming AC voltage and its according DC output to
automatically help select the AC transformer primary inputs, during
the start-up and when it’s running.
This ensures the best performance at any given AC condition, but if
the AC voltage is either too low (less than 10%) or too high (higher
than 5%), the AMP-51R’s protection circuit will automatically turn o
the amplifier.
➌
LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT
When playing in the stereo mode, you can connect a pair of loud-
speaker cables to the connectors according to + and – markings.
When playing in mono mode (with two AMP-51Rs), the right channel’s
+ becomes its mono + output and the left channel’s + becomes it
mono – output. Be careful not to touch and make contacts between
any of these connectors during the installation, as this would pose a
risk of damaging the amplifier and the loudspeakers.

INPUT (STEREO)
There are two sets of conventional voltage inputs (RCA) and two
sets of SATRI-LINK inputs (BNC). Conventional source components
are compatible with the RCA voltage inputs. The SATRI-LINK is used
exclusively for source components by Bakoon.
Remarks: SATRI-LINK is a current signal transfer method between
electronics. It can transfer the signals at very long distances and the
input signal goes directly into the SATRI Circuit without any loss in
signal quality.
➎
INPUT (MONO)
The AMP-51R can be converted to play in mono mode. During its
mono mode, the XLR connector is used for any conventional balanced
voltage source and two BNC connectors, namely the SATRI-2LINK,
are used for Bakoon’s source with balanced current output. In mono
mode, the AMP-51R’s gain level is fixed, requiring that any connected
sources in turn are equipped with a volume controller. (Alternatively
through a preamplifier)
Remarks: The XLR connector’s pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is hot and pin 3
is cold.
Remarks: Do not connect any stereo inputs during the mono mode.

OPERATION
Making Connections
Please turn o the power of the AMP-51R during any set-ups.
Listening
After you have successfully installed all the connections, you are
now ready to turn on the AMP-51R to start listening. Please follow
below steps to protect against any possible accident or damage.

No Sound on Both Channels, Check If
