INTRODUCTION AND PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Clarus Sextet line conditioner is engineered to provide state-of-the-art AC line filtering and surge suppression.
Featuring six hospital grade outlets specifically engineered for advanced performance of High Current, Analog and
Digital electronics.The Clarus Sextet features proprietary Analog filters, proprietary Digital filters and proprietary filters
for High Current electronics. Each duplex outlet bank is isolated to prohibit interference generated by equipment
plugged into a neighboring duplex. Clarus Sextet’s revolutionary filtering circuits provide dead quiet clean AC power so
the equipment connected to the Clarus Sextet will operate at optimum condition resulting in maximum performance.
FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGIES
1800 WATT / 15 AMPERE RATING
The Clarus Sextet is designed to provide a maximum of 1800 Watts / 120 volts @ 15 Amps.
AC LINE FILTERING
HIGH CURRENT Filter delivers full power to high current equipment like power amplifiers, receivers and powered
subwoofers without restricting dynamics.
DIGITAL Filter delivers clean power specifically designed for Digital Audio equipment. Clarus proprietary design of
complex multi-level filtering offers the best attenuation of noise while not restricting dynamics.
ANALOG Filter allows analog music to bloom. Engineered with Clarus’ Clean-Core or “C-Core Technology” Common-
Mode filters there is no restriction of dynamics. The technologically advanced C-Core material has better magnetic
properties that performs and sounds better than any filter available
AC LINE SURGE PROTECTION
The Clarus Sextet is designed with state of the art surge suppression electronics. In the extremely rare event that this
system fails, the PROTECTION FAULT LED on the front panel will illuminate and the outlets will no longer pass line
voltage.
6 OUTLETS
On the top panel, the ANALOG duplex (1 pair) is designed for use with analog electronics like turn tables or tube
amplifiers. Two DIGITAL duplex (2 pair) are primarily designed for connecting receivers and DACs or other digital
electronics. The HIGH CURRENT duplex (1 pair) is for use with high current electronics like power amplifiers,
receivers and powered subwoofers and will not limit current.
SIDE PANEL POWER SWITCH
The side panel main power button turns the unit on and off.
GROUND POST
A dedicated ground post on the rear panel allows for the grounding of other sensitive electronics within the system.
15A CIRCUIT BREAKER
The Sextet also features a side panel 15A circuit breaker. If the Clarus Sextet experiences an incoming current in
excess of 15A, the circuit breaker will trip and disconnect the mains power. To reset the breaker simply push RESET.
OUTLET LED STATUS
A Blue LED is provided on the front panel of the Clarus Sextet to indicate the Sextet is on or off.
PROTECTION FAULT LED STATUS If the PROTECTION FAULT LED illuminates it means the Surge Suppression
electronics have been compromised and the unit will no longer be passing power to the outlets.
POLARITY & GROUNDED LED STATUS
Polarity and Grounded LEDS will illuminate to guarantee that the Power Cord and the AC outlet the Clarus Sextet is
plugged into is wired correctly. If the GROUNDED LED does not illuminate then it means the outlet the Clarus Sextet is
connected to is not properly grounded. If the Polarity LED is not illuminated then it indicates that the White and Black
AC wires of the outlet into which the Clarus Sextet is connected are reversed.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR CLARUS SEXTET WITH A LINE PROBLEM. IF THE POLARITY or GROUNDED LED
DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, DISCONNECT THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY. A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN WILL NEED TO
REPAIR THE FAULTY WIRING PRIOR TO RECONNECTING THE CLARUS SEXTET.

PACKAGE CONTENTS
(1) Clarus Sextet
(1) Installation & Operation Guide
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The following is an overview for installing your Power Manager product.
•Unpack all of the contents of the Clarus Sextet carton.
•Plan your system and lay out all of the equipment that will be connected to the Clarus Sextet.
•Place the Clarus Sextet in the location where it will be used, being sure to follow both the safety precautions listed
in the front of this manual. DO NOT plug the unit in yet.
•Plug each of the components into the Clarus Sextet. You may want to make a note on paper listing the
components that are connected to each outlet.
•With all of the attached components in the OFF position, plug the Clarus Sextet into the wall.
•Depress the Clarus Sextet power button to turn on.
PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
Think about which components need to work together, and place them in close proximity to one another. Be aware of
those products that generate the most heat and understand that excessive heat adversely affects your components.
Place them accordingly – allowing sufficient ventilation. You may also want to consider putting frequently handled
components in the most convenient locations. By carefully planning the system’s architecture in advance, your Clarus
Sextet can be integrated into any configuration you choose.
PLACEMENT
It is recommended that the Clarus Sextet be placed in the same location as your other audio components so it can be
easily reached when manually operating the other controls in the system. There should be a clear line of sight between
the operator and the unit to allow easy user feedback of system status. The Clarus Sextet should be placed on a flat,
stable shelf or platform.
PLANNING YOUR AC CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING COMPONENTS TO CLARUS SEXTET
On the top panel there are six (6) AC outlets. For maximum performance, connect your analog devices into the
ANALOG outlets, digital components into the DIGITAL outlets and the high current components into the HIGH
CURRENT outlets. For convenience, any component may be connected into any outlet without causing harm to the
individual components. However, they may not be afforded maximum filtering and conditioning.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
All components in a system must be connected to a power conditoner in order for the system to be protected from
electrical disturbances and to achieve maximum noise filtering and line conditioning benefits. Failure to do this will
degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom
Possible cause
Solution
Clarus Sextet will not
power up
The Clarus Sextet is not receiving
power
1. Check that the power button is in the ON position
2. Check that the unit is plugged in
3. Check the outlet for power
Circuit breaker is tripped
1. Reset the circuit breaker on the side panel
2. If the Breaker continues to trip, try moving one or
more units to another Clarus Power Block, you may
be drawing too much current.
Protection Fault LED
is on
Indicates the internal surge
protection is inoperative. This
happens when the Clarus Sextet
receives multiple surges and
sacrifices itself to protect your
electronics.
1. Disconnect your electronics from the Clarus Sextet
2. Contact your dealer for service
The Polarity LED is
off
This indicates that the power
cable or the wall outlet the Clarus
Sextet is plugged into has it’s
polarity inverted
1. Do not operate the Clarus Sextet with an inverted
line; call an electrician to have the line repaired.
There is an audible
“thump”, “click” or
“pop” coming from
my speakers during
Sextet up.
This is common, while annoying,
it can happen when a preamplifier
or power amp’s internal power
supply is being turned on. It will
not harm the loudspeakers
1. To minimize or eliminate “thumps”, “clicks” or “pops”,
program the Preamplifier or A/V Processor to turn on
before the Power Amplifiers.
