Schlindwein and Phil Kullmann in Cologne, Germany, 2015. Based on our
experience „if you can’t find what you need, you have to build it yourself“, we
decided to put pen to paper and design something new. We are musicians, audio
engineers, designers and adventurers who create tools that reflect our values. We
are committed to premium materials only and clear attention to detail, embedded
in a minimalistic design aesthetic by Daniel F. Hirth.

DEUTSCH
VORSICHT: HOCHSPANNUNG – GEFAHR DURCH STROMSCHLAG
Gerät immer geschlossen halten. Vor dem
Anschließen eingestellte Betriebsspannung (120V/
240V) überprüfen. Diese entspricht der örtlichen
Netzspannung. Reparaturarbeiten ausschließlich
durch qualifiziertes Fachpersonal durchführen
lassen. Sichere, intakte Anschlussleitungen ver-
wenden. Sicherungen vom Typ T (Träge): 0,5A
(120V); 0,25A (240V) verwenden. Das Gerät muss
geerdet sein. Flüssigkeiten vom Gerät fernhalten.
Das Gerät vor Feuchtigkeit (Regen, tropfende
Flüssigkeiten, Spritzwasser) schützen.
VORSICHT: TEMPERATUR – GEHÄUSE DES GERÄTS ERWÄRMT
SICH IM BETRIEB
Das Gerät von zusätzlichen Wärmequellen fern-
halten (direkte Sonneneinstrahlung, Heizkörper,
Heizstrahler oder Ähnlichen). Lüftungsschlitze
offenhalten, damit warme Luft aus dem Gerät
abziehen kann. Platz im Rack lassen. Gerät nicht
unter oder über eine Endstufe montieren.
VORSICHT: UNSACHGEMÄßE AUFSTELLUNG/ANSCHLUSS KANN ZU
SCHÄDEN FÜHREN
Niemals Ausgänge von Leistungsverstärkern an
das Gerät anschließen. Nur auf stabilen Unter-
lagen aufstellen oder fachgerecht in ein dafür
vorgesehenes Rack einbauen.
VORSICHT: KONDENSWASSER (FEUCHTIGKEIT) KANN
SCHADEN VERURSACHEN
Beim Transport des Geräts von einer kalten
(trockenen) in eine warme (feuchte) Umgeb-
ungkann sich im Inneren des Geräts Kondens-
wasser (Feuchtigkeit) bilden. Das Gerät immer
erst dann in Betrieb nehmen, wenn sich alle Teile
auf Raumtemperatur erwärmt haben.
ACHTUNG: HOHE LAUTSTÄRKEN KÖNNEN DEM GEHÖR SCHADEN
Beim Abhören über Kopfhörer oder entsprech-
ende Lautsprecher, zunächst die Ausgangregler
auf Null-Position stellen. Erst dann die Lautstärke
erhöhen. Auf maximalen Eingangspegel
nachfolgender Geräte achten.
