Interconnects Use any high-quality RCA-terminated cable. Insure good non-oxidized contacts.
Naturally, we recommend our own NF cable EINSTEIN The Balance which has been designed for
optimum synergy. But that’s just our opinion. Still, allow us one piece of advice: Use The Tune MKII
to enjoy music, not to test cables.
Loudspeaker cables Insist on cables with superior non-oxidized contacts and sufficient conductor
mass to supply adequate current to the speakers. This insures proper damping factor for manda-
tory transducer control. (Cables of insufficient conductor mass can strangulate an amplifier’s cur-
rent delivery.) The EINSTEIN The Thrill loudspeaker cable is a perfect partner for The Tune MKII.
07. Power mains
To turn the machine on or off, press the rocker mains switch on the back panel right beside the
power inlet. The touch screen panel on the front will confirm power. Thermal stabilization and final
readiness are reached after about 2-3 minutes. Should you have any problem please switch off
the amplifier for 5 minutes. Then switch on the amplifier again. If the problem still exists, contact
your dealer or the factory to avoid internal damage. Optimal operation conditions and stabilized
sonics for The Tune MKII are reached within a half hour of turn-on.
08. Controls on the front
All functions of The Tune MKII can be operated by pressing the buttons in the middle of the front
panel. With the two upper buttons the volume can be adjusted by touching + for louder or –for
lower. Volume is indicated by a row of blue LEDs from minimum (0) to maximum (63).
While pressing the lower two buttons you can select the input of the amplifier.
Inputs
The Tune MKII offers four analog inputs: three high input (CD, Tuner, Line with an input sensivity of
550mV for rated power output / 50kOhm) and one phono input (input sensivity 2,5mV/MM,
1,2mV/MC).
The Tune MKII has an integrated phono preamplifier. It is suitable for MM as well as high output MC
cartridges. Input impedance for MC cartridges is 200 Ohm. For the use of MM cartridges two jum-
pers have to be removed by your dealer or distributor. The input impedance then is 47 kOhm.
The Tune MKII also offers a LINE OUT output which serves either as Preamp Out (the output level
changes according to the volume / 1.8V for rated power output) or as Tape Out (the output level
is independent from the chosen volume). Originally The Tune MKII is delivered with Preamp Out. If
you prefer to use the Tape Out please contact your dealer or distributor.
09. Remote control
The Tune MKII comes with a custom made design remote control called The Control. It is a real
EINSTEIN product with the basic functions for input selection and volume control.
The two upper buttons are for input selection. The volume can be controlled by pressing the two
buttons (–for lower + for higher volume) in the middle. The lowest button is for mute (pressing
once the volume is zero - pressing twice the volume is back to the original level).
To change batteries please remove the black acrylic cover (the one without the EINSTEIN printing)
on the opposite of the function panel by removing the four screws with the provided tool. When
you open the case just change the two AAA batteries. Please make sure you are using high qual-
ity batteries.
