Activation of the device
Before connection of the CORDA EARTUBE-1 to the mains, please check the voltage required. The
proper value can be found on the bottom-side of your device.
After connection the EARTUBE-1 can be switched ON/OFF by the power switch. While switched ON
the LED on the front side will be lit. It takes around 10 seconds before the amp is fully activated.
We recommend to power the amplifier ON approximately 15 minutes before use. If the device is not
used for a longer period of time it should be switched OFF. Not only does this reduce energy
consumption but it also increases life-time of the tubes.
Volume control
The volume of the CORDA EARTUBE-1 is controlled by the large dial on the left side of the front panel
and is increased by clock-wise rotation.
The driving capabilities of the CORDA EARTUBE-1 by far exceed that of a regular CD-player. This not
only guarantees less distortion, but also has the danger of severe hearing damage.
While listening to headphones we lack several feedback mechanisms on volume level that are present
when we listen to loudspeakers. Much less distortion, no feeling of the lower frequencies by our body
and no psychological restraints not to annoy our fellow-men easily seduces us to listen at volume
levels that are detrimental to our hearing.
Hearing damage from regular exposure to high sound levels progresses slowly but is irreversible and
can result in permanent hearing loss.
!! Please choose your volume-setting with caution !!
