Thank you for purchasing the CAN Signature 6XX from ZEN series. The CAN Signature 6XX is a balanced headphone amplifier optimized for Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones.
1. Power switch
2. Input channel switch
Input 1: RCA
Input 2: Single-ended 3.5mm
Input 3: Balanced 4.4mm
3. PowerMatch selection: 0dB/6dB/12dB/18dB
We recommend starting from 0dB and then increase the switchable gain level to
attain an enjoyable and comfortable level of volume from the headphones.
Warning: at the outset do not use excessive gain, otherwise, damage to
hearing or connected headphones may ensue. AMR/iFi audio is not responsible
for any damage/injury from misuse.
4. Analogue Volume Control
At normal listening levels, the volume control should be around the 12 o’clock
position. Increase the gain level to enjoy a higher listening level.
5. Single-ended 6.3mm output
For connecting single-ended 6.3mm headphones. With single-ended 3.5mm
headphones, connect with a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter.
6. Balanced 4.4mm analogue output
For connecting balanced 4.4mm headphones.
Tip: As the Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones use a balanced design, we recommend
the 4.4mm balanced output.
7. HD 6XX LED
Headphone corrections optimized for Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones.
8. XSpace® Matrix LED
The XSpace® Matrix(on/off ) recreates a holographic sound field. It is a pure
analogue signal processing circuit designed for listening to headphones as if
one was listening to speakers. This addresses the ‘music inside the head’
sensation, which makes for unsettling listening.
Tip: Sonically-hindering DSP is NOT used for HD 6XX nor XSpace® Matrix
systems.
They use the highest-quality discrete components and operate purely in the
analogue domain. Hence all the clarity and resolution of the original music is
retained.
