Listening to music for long periods of time at excessive
levels can cause irreparable damage to your ears.
Audeze recommends turning off the Deckard before
connecting or removing audio or power cables.Lower the
volume before connecting (or removing) your headphone
cable from the Deckard, then gradually increase the volume
until you reach a comfortable volume level.
The Deckard’s class-A circuitry generates some heat so we
recommend leaving 1-inch clearance around the chassis for
proper heat dissipation.

Ensure the voltage indicated on the rear panel of your
Audeze Deckard matches your AC mains supply. Attempt-
ing to use your Deckard at any voltage other than that

Regular maintenance is not required, but an occasional wipe
with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth is recommended while the
Deckard is powered down.
TIP: If you leave your cables connected to the Deckard for long
periods of time, we recommend that every six months you shut
off the Deckard and disconnect and connect the cables several
times; the wiping motion cleans the RCA terminals of oxidation.
NOTE: Opening device will void warranty. Contact Audeze for
service. Keep the product, accessories and packaging out of
reach of children. This product is not intended for use by
children under the age of 12.
