1 Connect your source to the Magni’s “IN” RCA
jacks with high-quality RCA cables. Or you can
use crappy cables (but why?)
2 Connect the supplied wall-wart cable to the
jack labeled “AC IN.” Do not use any other
wall-wart, or Magni will not work.*
3 Optional: Connect the preamp outputs to
powered monitors or an external power amp.

4 Turn on the switch. The protection relay will
mute the output for about 10 seconds, then it will
engage with a click.
5 Select HI or LO gain, depending on your
headphones. IEMs and earbud style headphones
will probably need LO gain. If you don’t have
enough volume control range, use LO gain.
*Magni’s wall-wart is AC output. Most AC adapters are
DC output, and will not work with Magni. Magni works
with a 14-16VAC, 1-2A output adapter only.

1Connect your headphones to the headphone
jack, marked with a headphone icon. For smaller
headphone plugs, you may need a 1/8” to 1/4”
adapter (not supplied.)
2 Turn the knob to control volume to both head-
phone and preamp outputs. We recommend you
stop increasing volume before your headphones
explode.
And that’s it! Enjoy your music!

Preamp Outputs: when headphones are plugged
in to the Magni, the preamp outputs will mute.
Headphones with Microphones: Some head-
phones with microphones use TRRS plugs,
which may have compatibility problems with
1/8” to 1/4” TRS headphone adapters. If you are
going to use a TRRS-terminated headphone, use
a specic TRRS-TRS adapter.
