PROTECTOR SYSTEM
The music reproduction quality of an audio system is highly affected by low and high frequency electrical interfering fields, caused
by Wi-Fi, cellular radio, power lines etc.With the
PROTECTORS
and their integrated trendsetting
GIGA-PULSE
technology,
SCHNERZINGER has developed aproduct category that actively eliminates the sonic effects of low and high frequency interfering
fields.
The PROTECTORS significantly enhance the transmission quality of audio systems.The sonic effects include an astonishingly higher
spatial depth and resolution as well as increased broad and fine dynamics in music reproduction.
Utilizing the operating principle and efficiency of the GIGA-PULSE technology, the SCHNERZINGER PROTECTORS represent aunique
solution in the market.
An important health aspect:PROTECTOR technology does not increase radiation exposure within the room.
GIGA PROTECTOR
The
GIGA PROTECTOR
is an innovative GIGA-PULSE controlled 12-channel high-frequency interfering field elimination system for
the entire listening room.It consists of atwo communicating devices, which protect the environment wide-ranging and broadband
from losing sound quality due to high frequency interfering fields.
The GIGA PROTECTOR can be specifically configured so that beside the adjustment to the respective room situation even particular
frequency areas can be triggered to allow for direct sound correction in the high-, mid-and low frequency area.
To adjust selective interfering field peaks there are the products
EMI PROTECTOR
and
GIGA PICCOLO PROTECTOR
.

Setting up aSCHNERZINGER system
Recommendation for the first setting resp.resetting of several SCHNERZINGER components:
1. Step:
Connect all components
-with the power circuit, if required (see manual)
-with the Hi-Fi devices (GROUND, SPEAKER AMP)
2. Step:
Set all switches at all components to basic setting (switches to position 0).
3. Step:
Test each component
one after the other
for its optimal setting according to the manual, with the following configuration sequence:
CABLES, GROUND PROTECTOR, GRID PROTECTOR, POWER GUARD, OPERATOR/NEW INNOVATOR, SPEAKER AMP PROTECTOR,
EMI PROTECTOR, GIGA PICCOLO PROTECTOR, GIGA GUARD, GIGA PROTECTOR
If you add your device to an already existing SCHNERZINGER chain,
outstanding results will be obtained mostly when all devices will
keep their former settings and just the additional product will be installed and configured as described in its manual.
If this does not provide satisfactory results, we recommend acomplete system resetting.

Connecting the GIGA PROTECTOR to the power grid
Optimal Positioning
The placement of both
GIGA PROTECTOR
devices within the room is particularly important.For maximum impact Schnerzinger recommends to
test different variants.
Recommended placement, in descending order:
1. diagonal front right (beside or behind the speaker) and rear left, or
diagonal front left (beside or behind the speaker) and rear left
2. right and left behind, beside or in front of the speakers
3. Right and left beside the listening position
4. Front and rear, central to the listening room respectively (if no
EMI PROTECTOR
is used)
Screw in the antenna;it has to stay in
upright position for proper functioning.

The
CONTROL UNIT
will be connected to the
GIGA PROTECTOR
and the
12Vpower
supply
will be connected to the CONTROL UNIT.
The 12 Volt power supply should be connected to apower circuit separate from the
Hi-Fi system –ideally even to adifferent power phase.
The GIGA PROTECTOR may be used without the 12Vpower supply.This supports a
flexible placement of the unit.But in this case it should be connected to the grid with
CONTROL UNIT and 12Vpower supply once ayear for 15 minutes.
Mostly abetter result will be achieved, when the 12Vpower supply is permanently
connected.

Setting up the GIGA PROTECTOR
The
GIGA PROTECTOR
has an additional GIGA-PULSE amplifier and two functional circuits, allowing to optimally calibrate the unit to the respective
interference field spectrum of the environment (e.g.WLAN, mobile communication, DECT, Bluetooth, radio waves and other interfering sources).
Changes need some time to take effect mostly.Therefore at each of the following steps you should wait for app.two minutes before judging.
Do not change the results as determined from the previous steps when you do the subsequent steps.

First set the switches of one device in full,
then the second
device.
Because each device finds different environmental
conditions within the room, the parameter settings of
both devices may differ.
1. Step:
Set all 13 switches to base setting 0.
2. Step: Switch in front:
Activating a
GIGA-PULSE amplifier
.
0 = Power Level 1
(without CONTROL UNIT and 12V power supply)
0 = Power Level 2
(with CONTROL UNIT, without 12V power supply)
1 = Power Level 3
(with CONTROL UNIT and 12V power supply, LEDs low)
2 = Power Level 4
(with CONTROL UNIT and 12V power supply, LEDs high)

5. Step: Switches back:
Functional circuit II –setting the
GIGA-PULSE clocking
Switches: B1 = low to B4 = high
Starting from the base setting the switches B1 -B4 will be set
sequentially from position 0 to position 1. Each step will
increase the clocking pace.
If the pace is to low, the best possible effect will not be
reached yet. If the pace is to high, even a sound degradation
may occur.
The test ends, when the subsequent step won’t achieve a
better result.
4. Step: Switches right:
Functional circuit I –setting the
GIGA-PULSE LF-bandwidth
Switches: R1 = narrow to R4 = wide
Starting from the base setting the switches R1 -R4 will be set
sequentially from position 0 to position 1. Each step will
increase the bandwidth.
If the bandwidth is to low, the best possible effect will not be
reached yet. If the bandwidth is to high, even a sound
degradation may occur.
The test ends, when the subsequent step won’t achieve a
better result.

3. Step: Switches left:
Functional circuit I –setting the
GIGA-PULSE HF-bandwidth
Switches: L1 = narrow to L4 = wide
Starting from the base setting the switches L1 -L4 will be set sequentially from position 0
to position 1. Each step will increase the bandwidth.
If the bandwidth is to low, the best possible effect will not be
reached yet. If the bandwidth is to high, even a sound
degradation may occur.
The test ends, when the subsequent step won’t achieve a
better result.

Lasting Effect of the GIGA PROTECTOR
The
GIGA PROTECTOR
constantly operates to clear up interfering fields effectively and comprehensively.
If after awhile you once want to hear the performance of your system without your GIGA PROTECTOR, the buffering effect
absolutely has to be considered.
If the GIGA PROTECTOR is switched off for ashort time only, it still takes effect because of the buffering of the power supply unit.
Disconnect the 12Vpower supply and the CONTROL UNIT from the power grid and the GIGA PROTECTOR resp.Additionally bend
the antenna at the hinge into ahorizontal position and place the unit on the floor.Keep these conditions for several hours,
preferably overnight.This way you achieve that the GIGA PROTECTOR has no effect any more.
Upon recommissioning the interfering fields will be cleared again fast.
