RA-10 Stereo Integrated Ampliﬁer

Phones Output

The Phones output allows you to connect headphones for private listening.

This output accommodates standard stereo phone (1/8”) plugs. Plugging

in a set of headphones does not cut off the signal to the outputs. Use the

Speaker Selector to turn off the speakers. The settings of the Function

Selector and the Tape Monitor Control determines which source is heard.

To listen to or monitor the component connected to the Tape input set

the Monitor Control to the Tape position. For all other inputs leave the

Monitor Control in the Source position and select the source you want

to listen to with the front panel Function Selector.

NOTE: Because the sensitivity of speakers and headphones can

vary widely, always reduce the volume level before connecting or

disconnecting headphones.

Media Player 5

A 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo input socket for a “Media Player” is provided on

the front of the ampliﬁer and is selected by setting the function control

to (AUX2). Any portable stereo cassette, compact disc player or hard

disc playback device can be connected via this input. If the device you

are connecting has its output via the headphone socket then note that

you must adjust the volume control on the player for sound to be heard.

Should the sound be loud and distorted turn down the volume on the

player and if it is only just audible through the speakers even when the

ampliﬁer volume control is turned up fairly high then adjust the volume

control on the player.

NOTE: When the 3.5mm (mini jack) is inserted into the Media Player

socket the rear input called AUX2 is disconnected. Removing the 3.5mm

plug from the Media player socket will allow the rear AUX2 input to

function.

Audio Controls

Volume Control

Turn the controls clockwise to increase the volume, or counter clockwise

to decrease the volume.

Balance Control

The Balance Control adjusts the left-to-right balance of the sound output.

Normally the control should be left in the center position. In some situations,

typically when the main listening position is not ideally centered between

the speakers, it may be necessary to adjust the control to achieve proper

left-to-right balance. Turning the control counter-clockwise shifts the sound

balance to the left. Turning the control clockwise shifts the sound balance

to the right.

Tone On/Off Switch

When the Tone Switch is in the Off position the Bass and Treble Control

(Tone Control) circuits are bypassed to ensure the purest possible sound.

Leave the Tone Switch in the Off position unless you want to use the Tone

Controls. Turn the Tone Switch to the On position if you want to adjust

the Tone Controls.

Bass and Treble Controls

8 9

When the Tone Switch is in the On position, turning the Bass and Treble

Controls adjusts the tone balance of the sound. Turn the Controls clockwise

to increase the bass or treble output. Turn the Controls counterclockwise

to decrease the bass or treble output.

A properly setup high-performance audio system produces the most

natural sound with little or no adjustment of the tone controls. Use these

controls sparingly. Be particularly careful when turning the controls up

(clockwise). This increases the power output in the bass or treble range,

increasing the load on the ampliﬁer and speakers.

Function Control

The Function control selects the input signal source. The signal selected

by the Function control is the one you hear, as long as the Monitor

control is set to the Source position. (See the following section.) The

signal selected by the Function control also goes to Preamp Outputs and

the Tape Outputs. Turn the front panel Listening Selector to the source

you want to listen to.

Monitor Control

When the Monitor Control is set to the Source position, the signal you

hear, and which goes to the Preamp Outputs, is selected by the Function

Control. To listen to the signal from a recorder connected to the Tape

Inputs, set the Monitor Control to the Tape position. When the Monitor

Control is in the Tape position, the signal from the Tape Input also goes

to the Preamp Outputs.

The signal that goes to the Tape Output is always selected by the

Function Control. When you are recording with a unit that has monitoring

capabilities, you can listen to the sound just recorded by setting the

Monitor Control to the Tape position.

12V Trigger Outlet

Some audio components can be turned on automatically when they

receive a 12V turn on “signal”. The two12V Trigger Outputs of the RA-

10 provide the required signal. Connect compatible components to the

RA-10 with a conventional 3.5mm mini plug cable. When the RA-10

is in turn off mode, the trigger signal is interrupted, so the components

controlled by it are turned off.

Protection Indicator

The RA-10 has both thermal and over-current protection circuitry that

protects the ampliﬁer against damage in the event of extreme or faulty

operating conditions. The protection circuits are independent of the audio

signal and have no impact on sonic performance. Instead, the protection
