Exposure XXXV Manuals

Before you start Contents: Please note that your Exposure Integrated Amplifier XXXV may take up to 48 hours to “run-in” before reaching its optimal performance. Each subsequent “run-in” will then take about 30 minutes. Ensure your unit is switched off and that the volume control knob is at its minimum.
