CANOR HYPERION P1 tube preamplifier user manual
Dear music lover,
thank you for purchasing our CANOR HYPERION P1 tube preamplifier.
To preserve and maintain the best characteristics of your amplifier, we recommend you
carefully read the following lines.

Safety instructions
Please read before putting the device into operation
1. Read the instructions –all safety information and instructions should be read before using the amplifier.
2. Keep the user manual –the safety and user instructions manual should be stored for later use.
3. Follow the instructions –all safety and user instructions should be followed.
4. Water and moisture –HYPERION P1 preamplifier should not be placed near water, for example near
bathtubs, swimming pool, kitchen sink, etc...
5. Accessories –do not use accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Placement –do not place a device on an unstable pad. The device may fall, which can cause serious
injuries to children or adults and damage to the device. Use only pads or racks recommended by the
manufacturer or pads sold to dealers with this device. Any placement of the device should be in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and only accessories recommended by the manufacturer
should be used.
7. Ventilation –the unit should be placed the way to ensure proper air flow. That means it is not allowed
to place the amplifier on a sofa, nor on upholstered furniture. The amplifier may not be covered over
when in operation; it would otherwise prevent proper air flow around the vent holes of the amplifier.
8. Heat –amplifier must be placed so as to avoid the heating effect from heat sources, for example
radiators or stoves, or other heat-producing equipment. The distance from the back wall of the unit may
not be less than 20 cm, and 20 cm above the area of HYPERION P1 may not be any barrier. Alongside
the unit should be ensured 20 cm minimal distance from other objects.
9. Power source –the device must be connected only to a mains supply for what it is designed for.
10. Power cord –it is necessary to pay particular attention to a power cord, it must be positioned in order to
avoid setting foot on it, and ensure it is protected against mechanical damage.
11. If you do not use the amplifier for a longer period of time –you should disconnect the power cord from
the mains supply, or at least turn off the main power switch located on the back panel.
12. Objects containing liquid –do not place these objects (vases, flowerpots), so that they can fall down on
the amplifier, eventually, prevent the liquid from being leaked out on the amplifier.
13. Damages requiring service –equipment should be repaired only by qualified service in the event that:
a. power cord is damaged
b. device dropped into the water or was poured
c. device was exposed to rain
d. device works incorrectly
e. device fell down on the ground or is otherwise mechanically damaged
14. Repairs –all repairs must be entrusted to qualified service
15. General warning –use the device only in accordance with this user guide
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. To help you avoid
an electric shock, do not expose the amplifier to rain or moisture!

Basic functions of reproduction
Plug the power cord into HYPERION P1. Turn on the preamplifier with the Power Main switch, which is
located on the back panel. When you turn on the main switch, the HYPERION P1 will set into standby mode -
the red LED diode on the front panel lights up. After pressing the Power button on the front panel, the controlled
turning-on sequence gets initiated, which consists of cooling and preheating the tubes, thereby extending their
life span. The cooling cycle is also carried out when the unit is turned off. If the main switch on the back panel is
not turned off, i.e., after turning off via the button on the front panel, the 45-second countdown to cooling
without indication begins. If you turn on the unit at this time, the cooling will continue and will be indicated by a
flashing red LED. When the cooling cycle is over then the main transformer gets connected and then the slow
start-up of voltage begins.
This cycle lasts 45 seconds and then the red LED stops flashing, and an output relay connects the signal to the
input if the main power supply does not get disconnected.
You can connect both 4 and 8 Ohm loudspeakers. The amplifier has separated terminals for each type.
