Safety instructions

Before you start using your FLS 10 balanced stereo integrated ampliﬁer, please read the operating

instructions and safety precautions outlined below.

1. Always make sure the unit is unplugged before connecting or disconnecting any other device

of the audio system in case of intervention on these devices.

2. Your device comes with a three-wire power cord (AC voltage of 100 - 115 V or 230 - 245V). To

prevent electrical shock, all three wires must be used. If your outlet does not accept the plug type

ﬁtted to the cord, you need an adapter and, if so, make sure it meets the required safety standards

and, above all, establishes a connection to earth. If in doubt about the integrity of your electrical

system call in the assistance of a qualiﬁed professional.

3. The use of an extension cord is not recommended for this product. If an extension is required,

ensure its compliance with safety rules and its ability to withstand the intensity of current required

to power your device.

4. Never use ﬂammable or combustible chemicals for cleaning.

5. Do not attempt to open the device, in under no circumstances use it without removing all the

packing materials or elements covering the unit.

6. Do not spill nor spray any liquids directly on the device.

7. Never push objects through openings in the unit.

8. Never remove a fuse.

9. Never replace a fuse with one of size or type than those speciﬁed.

10. Never attempt to repair the unit yourself. In case of problems, contact your dealer.

11. Never expose your device to temperatures too high or too low.

12. Do not leave electrical appliances within the reach of children.

13. Do not insert any object into the ventilation slots.

Transport and unpacking

Because of the signiﬁcant weight of the unit, the assistance of one or two other people, for moving and

placing it, is highly recommended. Do not turn the package upside down. Before opening the package,

place it near the planned installing location.

To open wooden package, remove all the 16 screws.

The package contains the FLS 10 balanced stereo integrated ampliﬁer, a detailed instruction manual,

a power cord and a remote control with screwdriver.

We recommend you to keep packaging for future shipping. If unit will be packed again, be sure to

locate again all internal packing components. Audia Flight will be not considered responsible for any

accident or damage to things or persons, resulting from future poor packaging.

Location

Choose a location that can support the heavy weight of your device. In order to dissipate heat, let

free a space of at least 10 cm around the ampliﬁer, so that ventilation could happen naturally. Move

it away from sources of heat or vibration, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Do not locate the unit

close to electroluminescent light sources because they can cause troubles with the remote control

working. Make sure it is close to the source components so that the length of connecting cables is

as short as possible. In the case sources are not close to the FLS 10, it is preferable to use balanced

interconnection cables.

Output connections

Connect each speaker by appropriate cables to output terminals, at the rear of FLS 10 balanced

stereo integrated ampliﬁer, ensuring that the polarities are the same on both channels. Terminals are

colored to assist in polarity identiﬁcation.

The insulated terminals accept all the endings: banana plugs, bare wires or forks.

The use of speaker cables of the highest quality is strongly recommended.

Warning: as the ampliﬁer is fully balanced, never connect the negative output binding post

(black) to the ground. Also never connect together the left negative output binding post with

the right negative output binding post.

Preampliﬁer section has two outputs: one balanced XLR pair, and one unbalanced RCA pair. Outputs

can be used simultaneously.

The use of interconnect cables of the highest quality is strongly recommended.

The polarity of the XLR connector output pins is shown on the diagram below:

Input connections

Before connecting any device, make sure that are all turned off.

FLS 10 balanced stereo integrated ampliﬁer has 5 stereo inputs, high-level and variable gain:

• 3 inputs (INPUT 1, INPUT 2 and INPUT 3) are unbalanced RCA format.• 2 inputs (INPUT 4 and INPUT 5) are balanced XLR format.Highest quality cables are recommended for these connections.

The polarity of the pin XLR input is shown on the diagram below:

Moreover, it is available also a pair of RCA output labeled “REC”. It is a ﬁxed level output, so the signal

of the selected input, can be connected to a recording device.

Do not short-circuit the REC output, as the pre outputs, balanced and unbalanced. Never connect the

left and right outputs together, it can damage the circuitry of the Class A output stage.

It is also possible to connect dynamic headphones to the connector located on the front panel. To

listen to music on the headphones only, push the “SPK” button. The close blue led, after pushing

button, will be lighter.

Do not short-circuit the output of the headphones, never connect the left and right outputs together,

it can damage the circuitry of the output stage.

Communications between Audia Flight and other brands

On the rear of FLS 10 balanced stereo integrated ampliﬁer you ﬁnd a pair (output/input) of 3.5 mm

jack plug for trigger use.

This connection allows devices from different manufacturers have adopted this mode of communica-

tion to control on/off or standby function simultaneously.
