SETTING UP
The io will work well on most surfaces, such as a shelf or table, provided there is sufficient air around the amplifier to prevent overheating.
If using a turntable, magnetic interference can be avoided by positioning the amplifier as far away from the cartridge as the tonearm lead
will allow. It is recommended not to stack other hi-fi equipment directly on top of the amplifier. Never place it on fabric or carpet.
WARNING: CASE CAN GET HOT.
CONNECTIVITY
The io will work well on most surfaces, such as a shelf or table, provided there is sufficient air around the amplifier to prevent overheating.
If using a turntable, magnetic interference can be avoided by positioning the amplifier as far away from the cartridge as the tonearm lead
will allow. It is recommended not to stack other hi-fi equipment directly on top of the amplifier. Never place it on fabric or carpet.
All inputs are made via RCA (phono) connectors:
Input 1: Phono (turntables)
Inputs 2 and 3: Line level inputs
GROUNDING
You may need to ground your turntable via the tonearm. For Rega turntables, grounding is achieved via the Phono lead ground; therefore,
a separate ground is not necessary. If your tonearm has a separate ground lead, it will need to be connected to the grounding nut located
on the back panel of the amplifier. You can use the nut to clamp down onto the grounding wire, but ensure that the turntable and io are as
far away as possible whilst ensuring the safety of both products.
LOUDSPEAKERS
The io is capable of driving all normal hi-fi loudspeakers. Rega recommends using loudspeakers with a nominal impedance of 6-8Ω. It is
possible to run speakers as low as 4Ω, however, such units may cause the case to exceed 40°C above the ambient temperature.
If in the event that the speaker leads are shorted, the fold back short circuit protection will protect the output stage from excessive currents.
This protection circuit is not placed in the audio signal path and therefore does not affect sound quality.
WARNING: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE AMPLIFIER WHEN CHANGING LEADS AND SPEAKER CABLES.
HEADPHONES
The io is capable of driving all standard hi-fi headphones. The headphone output has been characterised to match most commonly used
headphones (see specifications for the output levels). When a headphone is inserted into the socket, the speakers will automatically be
turned off. However, it is recommended to reduce the volume of the io before connecting any headphones to ensure they are not damaged
and prevent any hearing damage.
WARNING: THE io IS CAPABLE OF GENERATING HIGH SOUND PRESSURE, POSING A HEARING DAMAGE RISK. TO PREVENT
POSSIBLE HEARING DAMAGE, DO NOT LISTEN TO HEADPHONES AT HIGH LEVELS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
