WARNING

Contain important information and use

useful tips on headphones outputs and monitoring

levels.

•Use only attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.

•Always shut down power supply when not in use to save energy and for prolonged lifespan.

•Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary

considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if

exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety

and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the

following chart. According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in

some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is

recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels

use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or

over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if

exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:

NOTES: This manual covers the GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE

AGE 600H and the GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE AGE 900H. As

both devices are virtually identical, this manual will discuss the

GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE AGE 900H.

INTRODUCTION

Introducing world's first line-replaceable unit (LRU) audiophile power amplifiers. Our latest GECKO®

GENESIS ELEGANCE Series power amplifiers incorporate refined multi-stage C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile

Class-H technology for precision audio reproductions (step-up from previous 3-tier C.R.I.S.T.A.L.®

Audiophile Class H design). The new multi-stage C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H technology allows

wider frequency bandwidth to be processed in numerous bands of “frequency cells” more efficiently while

maintaining the desired RC time constants. The result – superb audiophile clarity and an energy efficient

system with lots of headroom. Hence, playing a familiar audio source through any one model of the

GENESIS ELEGANCE C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H power amplifier in your system setup; you will be

able to hear the track in superb clarity and details you have missed out all these while!

Its elegant front panel with two handles are made from a single-piece aluminium block, with two “quick-

release” air cooling vent covers for easy access to its dust-filters for maintenance cleaning. The GENESIS

ELEGANCE has a 2U rack-mountable chassis design. Under the hood is a brand new, eco-friendly,

advanced system design using industry's finest components. The components are mounted on the printed

circuit board (PCB) using latest surface-mount technology (SMT), ensuring exceptional efficiency and

reliability.

The GENESIS ELEGANCE is equipped with advanced system protections such as the automatic Voltage

Peak Limiter (VPL) for protecting input signals from overloading, Current Peak Limiter (CPL) for ensuring that

the amplifier’s output does not exceed the safe current handling parameters of amplifier components, Very

High Frequency (VHF) protection circuits for muting the output of the amplifier when non-dynamic continuos

signals above 12kHz are detected, Temperature (TEM) protection for ensuring that the amplifier will not be

damaged by exceeding thermal limits, C protection for ensuring destructive C signals will not appear at

the amplifier outputs, and many more.

Revolutionary LRU design allows easy replacement (can be done within minutes) of LRU module, or

provides easy system access for maintenance purposes should you need to do so.

The GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H power amplifiers are more than

just engineering masterpieces; they are where arts and technology come as one. The GECKO® GENESIS

NOTES: When your power amplifier is first powered up, the red PRO LE indicator

will illuminate while the cooling fans will rotate at higher speed (start up temperature

control measure); after approximately 6 seconds, the red PRO LE indicator will

distinguish and the cooling fans enter ultra quiet cooling mode. The green PWR LE

indicator illuminates when the power amplifier is switched on, indicating your power

amplifier is active.

3. CHANNEL B ATTENUATOR CONTROL

In STEREO mode, this attenuator allows the adjustment of CHANNEL B input level. This attenuator control is

disabled in BRI GE/PARALLEL mode.

4. AIR COOLING VENTS

Cool air is drawn from the surrounding environment into the amplifier by the cooling fans through these

vents, while the warm air exits through the rear air vents of the amplifier. This process help keeps the

amplifier cool. The dust-filters are located behind these covers. They are for minimizing entry of dust and dirt.

5. LED INDICATORS

▸ PWR (GREEN LED)

Illuminates when power on.

▸ SIG (GREEN LED) / HI-IMP

Shows signal is present on a particular channel (-40dB to -4dB). When an open or high-impedance load is

detected, the LE will be dimmed.

▸ PRO (RED LED)

Illuminates when the power amplifier is in protection mode (protecting the device from overheating, overload,

short circuit, C, and enables soft start to the power amplifier).

▸ VPL (ORANGE LED) / CLIP

Illuminates when Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL) is active to regulate clipping.

▸ CPL (ORANGE LED)

Illuminates when Current Peak Limiter (CPL) is active to regulate amplifier’s output current so that it does not

exceed the safe current handling parameters of amplifier components.

▸ TEM (ORANGE LED)

Illuminates when sensor detects high temperature exceeding the power amplifier's thermal limit. When this

happens, temperature protection circuit will mute the power amplifier to ensure that the amplifier will not be

damaged.

▸ VHF (RED LED)

Illuminates when non-dynamic continuos signals above 12kHz are detected. Very High Frequency (VHF)

protection mode is active (output muted).

6. RUBBER FEET

High-density rubber feet supplied along with your power amplifier. Use these feet to reduce “surface-to-

amplifier” or “amplifier-to-surface” vibration and to prevent scratches to your power amplifier.

7. HANDLES

Those one-piece handles are provided for better amplifier handling.

______________________________________________________________________________________

CAUTIONS: o not block the front and rear air vents!

8. FRONT PANEL MOUNT
