Unpacking the Millennium ADC
Carefully remove the unit and accessory kit from the carton, visually check for shipping damage. Contact
both the shipper and your Lyngdorf Audio dealer immediately if the unit bears any sign of damage from
mishandling. All Lyngdorf Audio equipment is carefully inspected before leaving our factory.
Keep shipping carton and packing material for future use or in the unlikely event that
the unit needs servicing. If this unit is shipped without the original packing, damage
could occur and void the warranty.
Operating Voltage
The Millennium ADC is selectable to one of the following power ratings:
110V-120V~ at 50-60Hz with a power rating of 50W
220V-240V~ at 50-60Hz with a power rating of 50W
Connect the power input only to the AC source matching the setting shown on the
voltage selector switch. The warranty will not cover any damage caused by connect-
ing to inappropriate AC mains.
The Millennium ADC has three power modes:
OFF
After Power off or Standby, the settings of Millennium ADC are retained. Please note that some parts
of the mains entry section still carry live mains.
STANDBY
In standby mode the Lyngdorf logo will be dimly lit.
ON
In on mode the Lyngdorf logo will be fully lit.
Serial Number Registration
Please record the serial number of your product here for future reference. The serial number is en-
graved in the plaque on the Millennium ADC rear panel. You will need this serial number, should you
ever require service on your Millennium ADC.

Introduction
Congratulations on your investment in the Lyngdorf Audio Millennium ADC (Analog to Digital Converter).
The Lyngdorf Audio Millennium ADC is a high-performance 2-channel Analog to Digital Converter with
4 line inputs. Using a combination of state-of-the-art analog circuitry and Digital Signal Processing to
support the two balanced 24 bit converters per channel, the Millennium ADC sets new performance
standards for analog to digital conversion.
The optional Lyngdorf Audio Phono Stage is a plug-in module for the Millennium ADC that allows a
gramophone to be connected directly to the Millennium ADC.
The RIAA equalization in the Lyngdorf Audio Phono Stage is implemented with tight-tolerance polypro-
pylene capacitors. To further improve de-emphasis possibilities, an additional 7 de-emphasis curves are
available in the DSP for optimal playback of records made before implementation of the RIAA (Record
Industry Association of America) standard.

5. Mains voltage input selector.
Selects the correct voltage for your location. This switch selects either 110-120 V or 220-240 V operation.
Always check that the correct voltage has been selected prior to connecting this unit
to an AC power source. Failure to do so may result in serious damage to the unit.
The warranty will not cover any damage caused by connecting to inappropriate AC
mains.

Remote Control
The remote control is used to access the menu system and replicate the buttons directly accessible on
the front panel.
The four buttons used for selecting which device to control are described below. To control the Millen-
nium ADC the AMP key should be pressed.
The functionality of the remote control depends on the products in your set-up. The
below description applies to operation of the Millennium ADC only.

Placement
The Millennium ADC should be placed well away from any source of magnetic fields like wall mains
adapters. Also avoid placing on top of a power amplifier – instead place them ‘side by side’.
Figure 3. Recommended placing of the Millennium ADC.
Millennium Link Connection
By using the Millennium Link Connection between the Millennium ADC and a Millennium MkIII or MkIV
amplifier (from firmware version 40) you are ensured the best possible integration of the two products
– both in terms of sound quality and ease of use. They become ‘one product’.
Connection:
Connect the two using the enclosed 5 pin XLR cable
Select the desired sample rate 48, 96 or 192 kHz. Please refer to the ‘Sample rate’ menu (9.c.i) of
this manual.
Set the Millennium ADC remote control menu to ‘Mill’ to let the Millennium amplifier control
operations (when you change the analog inputs on the Millennium amplifier, you will actually change
the inputs on the Millennium ADC). Please refer to the ‘Remote control’ menu (9.c.v) of this
manual.
Millennium MkI and MkII are not compatible with the Millennium Link Connection. In this case you have
two options:
Connect the two using one of the digital outputs:
Unbalanced digital output RCA connector (SPDIF)
Balanced digital output XLR connector (AES)
2. Update your MkI/II to a MkIII version
Please contact your local Lyngdorf Audio dealer for further information.
