SCHIIT MAGNI 3 Plus Headphone Amp and Preamp Owner’s Manual
CONNECTIONS
- Connect your source to the Magni’s “IN” RCA jacks with high-quality RCA cables.
- Connect the supplied wall-wart cable to thejack labeled “AC IN.” Do not use any other wall-wart, or Magni will not work.*
- Optional: Connect the preamp outputs to powered monitors or an external power amp.
- Turn on the switch. The protection relay will mute the output for about 10 seconds, then it will engage with a click.
- Select gain. Heresy and 3+ have two gain settings, +15dB (high) and 0dB (low). IEMagni has three gain settings, +15dB (high), 0dB (low), and -10dB (negative). Negative gain has the lowest noise and greatest volume control range for sensitive in-ear monitors (IEMs.)
*Magni’s wall-wart is AC output. Most AC adapters are DC output, and will not work with Magni. Magni works with a 14-16VAC, 1-2A output adapter only.
OPERATION
- Connect your headphones to the headphone jack, marked with a headphone icon. For smaller headphone plugs, you may need a 1/8” to 1/4” adapter (not supplied.)
- Turn the knob to control volume to both headphone and preamp outputs. We recommend you stop increasing volume before your headphones explode.
And that’s it! Enjoy your music!
Preamp Outputs: when headphones are plugged in to the Magni, the preamp outputs will mute.
Headphones with Microphones: Some headphones with microphones use TRRS plugs, which may have compatibility problems with 1/8” to 1/4” TRS headphone adapters. If you are going to use a TRRS-terminated headphone, use a specific TRRS-TRS adapter. We offer a “TRRS Kit” on our site.
