Factory default settings

The KOLEKTOR Preamplifier provides a Reset to Factory Defaults

option which allows you to reset the unit back to its factory

settings. This restores the user options to their initial values, and

resets the inputs to their initial source names.

To reset the KOLEKTOR

VOL+

SWITCH ON

POWER

""""

init

Switch off the KOLEKTOR, using the power switch on the front

panel.

Press and hold down VOL+ (front panel) and switch on the power

again.

Keep VOL+ held down until the display shows init.

The KOLEKTOR Preamplifier will then return to normal operation

with the default settings, as shown underlined in the previous

table.

It is unusual to have tone controls in a preamplifier of this

performance level. However, the controls in the KOLEKTOR are

very different from conventional bass and treble controls, which

cause extreme distortion to the audio signal. The bass control in

the KOLEKTOR has its maximum effect around 40Hz, and the

treble control at 20kHz. These are at the extremes of the audio

band and are intended as subtle refinements to the playback

system, used to compensate for smaller loudspeakers, a small

room, or a lightly furnished acoustically ‘bright’ room. When set to

flat they are transparent to the audio signal.

Control module

The control module is compact, versatile, and powerful. This power

makes the KOLEKTOR very easy to use and gives you many

facilities not possible in a conventional preamplifier. We have been

using microprocessors in our preamplifiers from the very first one

we built (the LK1). The KOLEKTOR has two microprocessors: one

does all the work, and the other looks after the process of loading

the software into the main processor.

As we are obsessive about preserving the signal integrity through

our products we take extreme care to prevent any noise escaping

from the control circuitry. Only two wires carry the communications

between the control and audio modules. They have electrical

activity only when you are changing an input or the volume level. A

small dedicated power supply on the control module ensures that

the power demands of the control circuitry have no effect on the

main audio power supplies.
