4. Impostazione

4.1 Collegamento delle sorgenti audio

The A50 III supports both balanced and single-ended audio inputs.

• Ingresso bilanciato: Connect your audio source (e.g., DAC with balanced outputs) to the 6.35mm TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) input jacks on the rear panel. Ensure the left (L) and right (R) channels are connected correctly.
• Single-Ended Input: Connect your audio source (e.g., DAC with RCA outputs) to the RCA input jacks on the rear panel. Ensure the left (L) and right (R) channels are connected correctly.

4.2 Collegamento delle cuffie

The A50 III provides both balanced and single-ended headphone outputs.

• Uscita bilanciata: For headphones with a 4.4mm balanced connector, plug them into the 4.4mm headphone output jack on the front panel.
• Uscita single-ended: For headphones with a 6.35mm single-ended connector, plug them into the 6.35mm headphone output jack on the front panel. If your headphones use a 3.5mm connector, use the provided 6.35mm to 3.5mm adaptor.

4.3 Collegamento di alimentazione

Connect the provided 15V DC power adaptor to the DC15V power input on the rear panel of the A50 III. Then, plug the adaptor into a suitable power outlet.

4.4 12V Trigger Connection (Optional)

Figure 3: 12V Trigger Connection Example

If you have another audio device with a 12V Trigger output, you can connect it to the 12V Trigger In port on the A50 III using a compatible cable. This allows the A50 III to power on and off synchronously with the connected device.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1 Accensione/spegnimento

Press the power switch button on the front panel to turn the A50 III on or off. The gain indicator LEDs will illuminate when the unit is powered on.

Rotate the volume knob on the front panel clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Always start with the volume at a low level before playing audio to prevent hearing damage.

5.4 Impostazione del guadagno

The A50 III offers three gain levels: High (H), Medium (M), and Low (L). To change the gain setting, press and hold the power switch button on the front panel. The corresponding LED (H, M, or L) will light up to indicate the selected gain. Choose a gain setting appropriate for your headphones:

• Basso (L): Recommended for highly sensitive headphones or In-Ear Monitors (IEMs).
• Medio (M): Suitable for most standard headphones.
• Alto (H): For less sensitive or high-impedance headphones that require more power.

6. Manutenzione

• Pulizia: Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per pulire l'esterno dell'unità. Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi o materiali abrasivi.
• Magazzinaggio: Quando non viene utilizzato per lunghi periodi, conservare il dispositivo in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e dalla polvere.

  • Ensure the input channel switch (BAL/SE) on the rear panel matches your audio source.
  • Confirm that headphones are securely plugged into the correct output jack (6.35mm or 4.4mm).
  • Increase the volume level on the A50 III and your audio source.
  • Test with different headphones and audio sources to isolate the issue.
• Suono distorto:
  • Reduce the volume level on both the A50 III and your audio source.
  • Try a lower gain setting (L or M) if using sensitive headphones.
  • Assicurarsi che tutti i cavi siano collegati saldamente e non danneggiati.
  • Controllare la sorgente audio per eventuali distorsioni.
• L'unità non si accende:
  • Verify the power adaptor is correctly connected to the unit and a working power outlet.
