Monaural Class A Tube Power Amplifier
SAFETY GUIDELINES
This appliance was produced under strict quality controls.
It complies with all established international safety standards.
Nonetheless, the following instructions should be fully read and observed
in order to prevent any hazard:
| Do not open the appliance! Risk of electric shock!
There are no parts in the appliance that requires maintenance by the user.|
---|---|---
Maintenance/Alterations All equipment that is connected to the domestic mains voltage can be dangerous to the user if not handled properly. Leave maintenance work to qualified professionals. The product is only permitted for connection to AC 230Volt/50Hz, for earthed sockets, and use in enclosed areas. Altering the product or manipulating its serial number voids the warranty. After a fault, leave the appliance’s fuse to be replaced only by a professional with one of the same kind.
Power Cable Connection
Always pull the plug and never the power cable if you want to disconnect the
appliance from the mains power. Make sure when setting up the appliance that
the power cable is not squashed, severely bent, or damaged by sharp edges. Do
not touch the power lead with wet or damp hands. Use the power cable supplied
or another one from Vincent.
Switching Off Switch the appliance off every time before you connect or remove other components or loudspeakers, disconnect or connect it to the mains power, leave it unused for a longer period or want to clean its outside. On all amplifiers and receivers, wait approx. 1 minute after this before disconnecting or reconnecting the cable.
Moisture/Heat/Vibration Contact of electrically operated equipment with liquids, moisture, rain, or water vapor is dangerous for such equipment and the user and must be avoided without fail. Take care that no liquids or objects get inside the appliance (ventilation slots etc.). It must be disconnected from the main power immediately and examined by a professional if this happens. Never expose the appliance to high temperatures (direct sunshine) or strong vibration.
Heat Build-up
All amplifiers generate heat as part of their design. Make sure that a gap
of 5 cm remains around the appliance and that the surrounding air can
circulate (do not install in enclosed cupboards). Vents must not be covered
up.
Volume The maximum tolerable volume is always reached well below the maximum possible setting on the amplifier. Be careful with the volume setting, therefore, in order to prevent damage to hearing. So that you do not expose yourself to high volumes unintentionally, always set it to a low level before changing the input channel.
Cleaning Pull out the plug before cleaning the outside of the product. Whenever possible, use a soft, lint-free cloth that has been dampened. Do not use abrasives, solvents, thinners, flammable chemicals, polishes, and other cleaning products that leave marks.
OTHER INSTRUCTIONS
Setting up the appliance

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
Although Vincent also manufactures long-lasting and high-class components for multi-channel audio units and home cinemas, Vincent’s developers feel especially dedicated to the stereo tradition. In this segment, in particular, the progress in sound that a separation into preamplifiers and main amplifiers brings is apparent. We think that it is precisely the use of all-too price- conscious design in preamplifiers and main amplifiers that undermines these efforts with lower sound quality resulting from compromises. For this reason, Vincent does not manufacture “entry-level models” for stereo preamplifiers and stereo main amplifiers. This also makes sense because irrespective of any development in the audio market and irrespective of what kind of audio system is to be built, there is one category of devices whose components can continue to be used in any system put together in the future: the main amplifiers! That is because it doesn’t matter what the data media or data formats of the future are, the sound will always have to find its way to the loudspeaker. SP-T700 is a mono power amplifier for one or two loudspeakers. With its hybrid construction of valves and transistors, the SP-T700 combines the advantages of transistor amplification and valve amplification. The transistor stage works in Class A mode. The result of much development work and a critical choice of components is the main amplifier which has little competition in terms of sound and which never loses control even in the most varied connection situations in combination with all loudspeakers. The highest manufacturing quality and excellent value for money can be taken for granted.

SPEAKER A/B: loudspeaker switches
If suitable speakers are used, a second loudspeaker can be operated at the same time. This button allows each of the speakers (designated A and B) to be individually switched on and off. The LED located above each of the buttons shows which of the speakers is activated. -
POWER: Mains switch
This is the main power switch for turning on and off the device. When switched off, the device is disconnected from the mains.
REAR VIEW
4. LINE IN: Input for preamplified mono audio signal
This input must be connected with the output connector of the preamplifier for
the desired channel.
For example, with “PRE OUT R”, the SP-T700 is to be used for the loudspeaker
of the right-hand stereo channel. Do not connect any line-level sources!
5. DIMMER:
Dimmer for the tube illumination
The setting of this switch affects the brightness of the illumination of the
tube display window (1).
6. POWER CONTROL (12V) OUTPUT
These jack connectors (3,5 mm) send the signals for the standby control (12V
Trigger).
7. SPEAKER A/B: Loudspeaker terminals
At these output sockets with threaded terminals, one or two loudspeakers can
be connected. A Speaker cable with 4 mm banana plugs can be used. Please take
note of the information given in the section “Installation”, if two
loudspeakers will be connected to the amplifier.
8. Voltage Selector:
The voltage selector behind the pane allows switching the voltage from 230 V
to 110V. Refer to safety instructions for further information (p. 26,
“Switching the Voltage”)
9. AC power connector and fuse holder
To establish the power supply, connect the plugs of the power cable to the
device and to the AC wall outlet. The small plastic housing beneath the plug
opening holds the fuse. Refer to the security precautions.
INSTALLATION
Set up the cable links in a sequence as follows. Connect the power cable between the device and power supply only after all other connections have been made.
| DURING INSTALLATION PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING ADVICE:|
---|---|---
Protective caps
Prior to the first installation, the protective plastic caps must be removed
from all the connections used at the rear of the unit.
RCA connections
Contacting the middle pin of the RCA plugs with the outer ring of the RCA
chassis jack may lead to damage to the main amplifier if it is switched on! To
avoid this hazard, connect or disconnect only in a switched-off state and
more than one minute after deactivating!
Speaker cable connections
The use of ready-made loudspeaker cables is recommended instead of connecting
the cable’s central wire (strand) directly to the terminals. Banana plugs or
cable lugs ensure high security from short-circuits and damage to loudspeakers
or amplifiers.
Ensure that bare loudspeaker wires are never able to come into contact with
each other or with the metal on the back of the housing.
Make sure that the positive and negative loudspeaker wires are connected
correctly. You will notice a reduced sound quality if the connections are the
wrong way round.
Only use loudspeakers with a nominal impedance of at least 4Ω.
Cable connections
Make sure that all plugs fit tightly. Inadequate connections can cause noise
interference, failures, and malfunctions.
To make the most of the components’ sound potential, only high-quality loudspeakers and connecting cables, for example, Vincent cables, should be used. Your local stockist will be glad to advise you about this.
CONNECTING THE PREAMPLIFIER
This main amplifier is equipped with a mono audio input (“LINE IN”) on which the unit awaits the preamplified signal of an audio channel. This is the audio information that the SP-T700 provides for one or two loudspeakers.
No source with a standard line level signal (“LINE OUT”) must be connected to
this input. It is only intended for preamplified signals (e.g. “PRE OUT”).
This audio input connector must be interconnected to the output connector
(“PRE OUTPUT” or “OUTPUT”) of a preamplifier. If the SP-T700 is to supply one
channel of a stereo system, connect the input connector of the SP-T700 with a
preamplifier output socket that is usually labeled “PRE OUT R” or “PRE OUT
L”.
If the SP-T700 is used in a multi-channel system, then the connection socket of the desired channel (e. g.“FRONT R”) in the connection field of the decoder preamplifier usually marked with “AUDIO OUTPUT” is to be connected to the input of this main amplifier.
CONNECTION OF THE POWER CABLE
Check that the electricity supply to your home is appropriate to the device. The required voltage and frequency can be read on the back of the device beside the socket for the mains. If the electricity supply is appropriate, push the inlet connector of the supplied mains cable firmly into the socket for the mains on the back of the device (9). Connect the other end of the mains cable to a mains socket.
SWITCHING THE VOLTAGE
This device is equipped with a switch (8) that can be used to change the
country-specific voltage from 230 V to 110 V.
Please never actuate the switch during operation! The voltage must only be
switched by a technician since the device fuse must also be replaced after the
actuation of the switch! Information about the device fuse can be found on the
back of the device.
Unauthorized actuation of the switch will void any warranty claim!
CONNECTION OF THE LOUDSPEAKERS
Either a single speaker (A) or two speakers (A+B) can be connected to this amplifier. Both outputs are identically provided with the input mono signal. For each loudspeaker, you will find two connector screws (positive + and negative -) at the amplifier’s backside. One side of the speaker cable must be attached here. At the loudspeaker connection terminal, there are similar connector screws or connectors. There, the polarity of each screw (+ or -) can be identified as well and the other side of the speaker cable associated with this speaker must be attached. Make sure only connector screws of the same polarity will be connected by each speaker cable wire: a knob marked “+” in the amplifier’s terminal must be connected with a speaker’s connector screw marked “+” as well.
If every speaker is connected in a conventional way (a two-core speaker cable
for each loudspeaker) and you own loudspeakers that are equipped with Bi-
Wiring terminals (four connector screws) you have to make sure that the metal
brackets (contact pieces consisting of small metal plates or short pieces of
cable which are supplied with the speakers) are applied to the terminal and
that each one connects the two knobs of the same polarity (e.g. both
connectors marked “+”). The connector screw labeled “+” and “A” at the
amplifier’s backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labeled “+”
connectors of the loudspeaker. Accordingly, the connector screw labeled “–”
and “A” at the amplifier’s backside must be connected to one of the bridged,
labeled “–” connectors of the loudspeaker. Additionally, the speaker connector
“A” must be activated at the front panel button “SPEAKER A” (2). If none of
the loudspeakers outputs A and B has been activated (2), both indicator LEDs
located above the switches will be continuously blinking. This indicates that
every loudspeaker connected to the SP-T700 is muted.
If a second loudspeaker is to be connected, then the clamps of the output “B”
are connected in a similar fashion to the additional loudspeaker. However,
this is only permitted if both loudspeakers have a nominal impedance of at
least 8Ω! This loudspeaker is activated by actuating the button “SPEAKER B”
(2) on the front of the unit.
If a loudspeaker is to be connected with “bi-wiring”, both pairs of loudspeaker clamps may be used at the same time for one loudspeaker. In contrast to the standard connection of the loudspeaker, with bi-wiring, a suitable loudspeaker is connected via two separate two-wire loudspeaker cables or one four-wire loudspeaker cable to two pairs of output clamps on the main amplifier. This doubles the cabling required but for many combinations of loudspeakers and amplifiers, this improves the sound quality.
Before changing the system to bi-wiring, the metal bridges fitted to the
loudspeaker’s double connector in normal operation must be removed. Only
loudspeakers with these bi- wiring terminals are suitable. Filtering of the
entire frequency range occurs in the now separated loudspeaker crossover
networks. One cable is to be connected to the loudspeaker’s sockets provided
for the higher frequencies (treble) and the other with the ones for the lower
frequencies (bass) for each loudspeaker. Make sure that the polarity is
correct. Your specialist dealer will provide you with advice and assistance.
If you are using ready-made loudspeaker cables with 4 mm banana plugs, all you
need to do is connect the two plugs on each loudspeaker cable end to the two
associated speaker connectors. At first installation, after unpacking the main
amplifier it is necessary to remove the small plastic security plugs from the
speaker connector holes (completely remove the connector screw, remove the
plug and refit the screw again). Turn all connector screws clockwise to fasten
them.
If no connector is to be used, remove approximately 1 cm length of insulation from each end of the speaker wire. Twist the braid in order to avoid short circuits. Turn the fastener on the loudspeaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it and introduce the bare wire end into the exposed connector hole. Then turn the fastener clockwise so that the wire is firmly clamped. Make sure the connection is pretty tight.
All loudspeakers must have a nominal impedance of at least 4Ω.
Respect correct polarity, the positive contact is mostly marked red or with
“+”. The side of the speaker cable that has to be connected with the positive
socket has a marking.
CONNECTIONS FOR THE STANDBY CONTROL (POWER CONTROL)
Many AV-Systems consist of a multitude of individual components. To avoid the
necessity of switching them on and off before and after every use, many
manufacturers have equipped their devices with what is known as a “POWER
CONTROL” circuit or “TRIGGER”. This kind of remote-controlled standby circuit
is used primarily for preamplifiers and power amplifiers. To employ these
functions, direct or indirect cable connections must be made between the
preamplifier (or integrated amplifier) and all the devices which support this
function. The “POWER CONTROL” function operates in such a way that each
switching on or off of one device in the system (usually the preamplifier)
automatically brings about the switching on or off of all the connected
devices which support this function. Please keep in mind that all devices
which respond to the power control are not disconnected from the mains network
when switched off. They are set to a standby state instead. For connecting
cables, two-core cables with 3.5 mm jack plugs (mono) are used. For each
connection between two devices, one of those cables is needed.
If the SP-T700 main amplifier is to be switched on/off automatically with the
preamplifier, then the cable connections for power control described below
must be made correctly and the “POWER” switch (3) must be moved to the
switched-off position. If you don’t wish to use this function or if the other
components do not support it, all you have to do is leave out these cable
connections.
The SP-T700 has two connectors for power control. One output on the
transmitting device (integrated amplifier, preamplifier, or a device that
passes on the power control signal), usually labeled “POWER CONTROL” or
“TRIGGER”, must be connected to one of these two connectors. If the “POWER
CONTROL” cable is connected to this device, the second jack connector serves
to pass on the switch signal (for example to the main amplifier of the other
channel) or it remains free. This main amplifier cannot generate the switching
signal for other components on its own!
A theoretically infinite number of devices may be served with the switch
impulses from a transmitting device. To this end, on most devices, one of the
two “POWER CONTROL” connectors may be used as signal input and the other as
signal output. This method of passing on the signal via the devices’ inputs
and outputs and of thereby chaining them is also known as “daisy
chaining”.
Many devices which can be controlled by a switching signal (not preamplifiers
or integrated amplifiers) have two terminals that do not differentiate between
input and output. In this case, either of the two can be selected. Even some
devices that transmit the switch signal (preamplifiers and integrated
preamplifiers) lack this marking. In this case, it may be assumed that they
both are signal outputs.
“POWER CONTROL” sockets of preamplifiers or into-grated amplifiers must not be
interconnected! All receiving devices must not be connected to more than one
preamplifier or integrated amplifier (directly or indirectly)!
If a “POWER CONTROL” cable is connected to the back of the main amplifier and
the 12V switching signal is given, the main amplifier can no longer be
switched off with the “POWER” button. If the power control function is not
desired, the switch signal cable must therefore be removed!
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Operation | Button(s) | Description |
---|---|---|
Switch on and off | POWER (3) | The amplifier is switched on and off |
using this button on the front panel. When switched off the device is
internally separated from the AC power. Before switching on, you should reduce
the Volume setting at the preamble- fire for safety reasons. After switching
on, the LEDs located above the SPEAKER switches (2) flash for about 30 seconds
while the main amplifier tubes warm up.
Individually activate or deactivate speaker out- puts A and B| SPEAKER A
SPEAKER B (2)| To play back music at least one loudspeaker must be
attached to the amplifier (a practical choice would be connectors “A”). The
output you use must be activated using the corresponding button “SPEAKER” (3)
(LED illuminated). Only if a second loudspeaker is used, it is necessary to
activate the second speaker output “B”. If none of the loudspeakers outputs A
and B has been activated at the SPEAKER switches, both indicator LEDs located
above the switches will be continuously blinking. This indicates that every
loudspeaker connected to the SP-T700 is muted.
Change the brightness of the tube window illumination| DIMMER (5)| The
display window for the visible tube (1) can be illuminated with one of three
brightness settings if that is desired. The switch described here allows one
to select one of the brightness settings and to completely switch off the
Illuminati- on. If the switch is set to “OFF”, no background light is used.
Setting to “1” results in low light intensity, and set to “3” results in
maximum light intensity. This function can only be operated from the back side
of the amplifier.
TIPS
Burn in/ Warm-up
Your audio components need a certain time period until they reach maximum
performance. The duration of this “warm-up” time is very different for the
various elements of your audio system.
Higher and homogeneous sound quality is achieved while keeping the device
switched on.
Your audio specialist dealer has enough experience to give you more
information.
Net frequency noise
Some audio source devices may in combination with the amplifier cause a
humming noise at power line frequency audible from your speakers. Usually, its
volume varies with the volume setting of the amplifier. This is no sign of a
defect or fault of your audio products but has to be eliminated. Generally,
every wall-powered device connected to the ground wire of the power plug can
cause this problem when connected to the amplifier.
Experience shows that this problem is mainly caused by antenna-connected
components (such as TV sets or Tuners), personal computers, electrostatic
loudspeakers, subwoofers, record players, or headphone amplifiers that are
connected to the audio inputs of the amplifier. Another possible reason for
humming noise is electromagnetic interference of other components’ power
supplies with pick-up systems of record players (change the place of the
record player for a test).
In most electric devices the ground potentials of all signals are connected to
each other at one central point, where they have one common connection. If the
device uses the protective conductor of the wall outlet, the corresponding
wire of the line cord is connected intractably to the metal housing of the
device. This is mostly the point where the central grounding point is attached
to. By doing this the housing is able to shield all signals from external
radiated noise. Some main amplifiers are equipped with a “Ground
Lift”-switch. If it is activated, the ground potential of the chassis and the
protective ground wire is separated from the central signal ground point. The
protective ground wire keeps its function. Sometimes this helps prevent noise
caused by errors in grounding.
If the problem occurs and cannot be solved by yourself your audio specialist
dealer will help you.

GLOSSARY
dB level
This is a way of describing any physical quantity; it is a common measurement
for signal voltages and volume. It is given in decibels (dB). Alternating
signal voltages below 1V (RMS) are described as “line level” voltages, which
are suitable as music signals for amplifier inputs. Inputs on amplifiers
(mostly represented by RCA sockets), which are designed for signals on the CD
player, tape recorder, DVD player, etc. are also referred to as “line level
inputs” or “high-level inputs”. Those signal inputs must not be confused with
inputs that accept preamplified signals.
Input sensitivity
Term for the smallest average (RMS) input voltage which causes the maximum
output power at the maximum volume setting on the amplifier. Examples: 100 mV
to 500 mV (Millivolts) on high level inputs, 2 mV to 5 mV on the phono MM
input or 0.1 mV to 0.5 mV on the phono MC input.
RCA
RCA is the American name for a type of coaxial connectors and sockets,
originally the abbreviation for “Radio Corporation of America”, the name of a
United States company. Both the plug and cable consist of a rod-shaped inner
lead and a cylindrical-shaped outer lead. This enables a mono audio signal or
a video signal to be transmitted. Compared to the XLR plug connector, this
type of connection is also called an “unbalanced signal connection”.
Please keep the receipt, and store it together with this manual. The receipt is your proof for the beginning of the warranty period. Note the serial number in the following box, you can read it from the rear side of the device.
