Lasting effect of the GIGA PROTECTOR
Dear customer,
Thank you for your purchase of a SCHNERZINGER product.
Please take the time to precisely read the information in this guide. You
will find important instructions to use your product and hints for the
optimal integration into your Hi-Fi system.
This guide facilitates your use of the product, promotes understanding
its functional characteristics and helps you to obtain the full efficiency
of the product.
We hope you enjoy your new SCHNERZINGER product.
Please clean the product with a non-scratching dry duster only. Avoid
using cleaning agents.
A potting compound in the devices protects the innovative GIGAHERTZ
CANCELING technology with its particular electrical components
specially manufactured for SCHNERZINGER against direct access and
screening via X-ray or magnetic field applications. A slight rustling
caused by this potting compound is normal and does not result in any
functional impairment. There are no informed crystals in the devices.
In case of malfunctions contact your SCHNERZINGER dealer. Please do
not attempt to service the device yourself or to open it, in that case you
will lose your entitlement for our manufacturer warranty.
In the case of damages at the power plug or power cable please initiate
an exchange at SCHNERZINGER via your dealer.

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 GIGAHERTZ
CANCELING technology, SCHNERZINGER has developed a product 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 GIGAHERTZ CANCELING technology, the SCHNERZINGER PROTECTORS
represent a unique 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 12-channel high-frequency interfering field elimination system for the entire listening
room. It consists of a two 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 a SCHNERZINGER 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, GIGA GUARD, 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 a complete system resetting.

Setting up the GIGA PROTECTOR
The GIGA PROTECTOR has three power levels and three functional circuits to simply adjust bandwidth and clock rate of GIGAHERTZ CANCELING technology via toggle
switches. This makes it possible to adapt to any interference field spectrum. The change in bandwidth extends or decreases the detection range, changing the clock rate
the processing speed.
The rule is: the narrower the bandwidth, the higher the efficiency - the smaller the detection range. The lower the clock rate, the higher the extinction rate - the less
interference frequencies are detected.
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.
3. Step: Switch in front in position 0 - power level 1
Start with switch setting 0 = power level 1 –with CONTROL UNIT, without
12V power supply.
1. Step: Base setting
Usually (power level 1), the GIGA PROTECTOR will be operated without the
12V power supply. To maintain its performance, it should be connected to
the grid with CONTROL UNIT and 12V power supply once a year for 15
minutes.
Connect antenna (upright position) and CONTROL UNIT (COUA) to the
GIGA PROTECTOR, without 12V power supply.
Set all 13 switches to base setting 0.
2. Step: Optimal Positioning
Recommended placement:
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)

6. Step: Switches right:
Functional circuit II –setting the 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.
Now you’ve identified the optimal result without 12V power supply.

5. Step: Switches left:
Functional circuit I –setting the 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.
4. Step: Switches at the back:
Functional circuit III –setting the clocking, switches: B1 = low to B4 = high
Starting from the base setting the switches B1 - B4 will be tested
sequentially in position 0 and 1. For each switch, retain the better result.
7. Step: Switch in front –adjustment of the power level:
If power level 1 is not sufficient for the present interference field
spectrum, 2 additional power levels can be activated. This requires the
permanent connection of the 12V power supply* to the CONTROL UNIT
and the grid. The 12 Volt power supply should be connected to a power
circuit separate from the Hi-Fi system –ideally even to a different power
phase.
Set all switches to base setting 0; then activate power level 3 by position 2
of the front switch. Repeat steps 4 to 6 to identify the optimal switch
settings of functional circuits I to III for operation with 12V power
supply. With this setup, compare power level 2 and 3.
0 = Power Level 1 –with COUA, without 12V power supply
1 = Power Level 2 –with COUA, with 12V power supply, LEDs on
2 = Power Level 3 –with COUA, with 12V power supply, LEDs high
* note the correct phase (marked with a silver dot) –measure the phase of your socket.

Lasting Effect of the GIGA PROTECTOR
The GIGA PROTECTOR constantly operates to clear up interfering fields effectively and comprehensively.
If after a while 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 a short time only, it still takes effect because of the buffering of the power supply
unit.
Disconnect the 12V power supply (if connected) and the CONTROL UNIT from the power grid and the GIGA PROTECTOR resp.
Additionally remove the antenna, place the unit on the floor and set the switch in front to position 2. 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.
