Schiit GJALLARHORN User manual

COMPACT SPEAKER AMP

CONNECTIONS
STEREO
1 Connect a stereo source to the RCA jacks.
Connect both left and right channels with
good RCA cables. Don’t connect anything to
the XLR socket.
2 Connect both left and right speakers.
Use good-quality, banana-terminated cables
for this. “L” is left, and “R” is right. Black is
ground, red is hot. Simple as that.
MONO
3 Connect a mono balanced source to the
XLR jack. You’ll need a good XLR cable.
Don’t connect anything to the RCA inputs.
4 Connect one speaker to the two center
jacks. “+” is positive, “-” is negative. Both
are active. Don’t short the negative sides
together, or the amp may go into protection.
More on this later.
POWER
5 Connect the power cord here. The amp
won’t work wirelessly without power; we’re
not Nikola Tesla or anything fancy like that.
6 Turn the amp on and off with this switch.
There will be a short delay, about 10 sec-
onds, until the relay clicks in. And then you’ll
have music!

it’s off, the LED is off. Simple as that.
PROTECTION
Gjallarhorn includes internal protection
against over-current, over-temperature, and
excessive DC.
If Gjallarhorn clicks and mutes, it has gone
into protection mode. Gjallarhorn’s protection
will reset automatically in a few seconds.
Check the following:
Are speaker cables shorted? Shorted cables
will cause Gjallarhorn to go into protection.
Is there a speaker problem? Sometimes,
speakers can short internally. Check with a
voltmeter or try a different pair of speakers.
Are you using low-impedance, inecient
speakers? Gjallarhorn may protect with very
low impedance or inecient speakers.
Are you listening very loudly? Gjallarhorn is a
capable amplier, but it’s best on the desktop
or in a small room. If you need a ton of power,
Vidar is a better choice.
