from the creator

Foreword

First of all, thank you for

choosing the Vitus Audio MP-

T201. We know you will enjoy

it for many years to come.

When purchasing a Vitus Audio

product, you are guaranteed

a musical performance,

which far-exceeds the

current musical standards.

Vitus Audio is dedicated to

musical performance rather

than technical details and

high performance measures.

We believe that many

manufactures are blinded by

the current available theory,

instead of looking for new

answers.

At Vitus Audio everything

works until proven not to.

This way we always try to

push the limits and explore

the unexplored. As a result

of this, many of the solutions

we use today are considered

to be “impossible to ever

get working”, however they

have convinced many people

and reviewers world wide

of the opposite. Before any

of our new topologies are

implemented in our products,

they are carefully reviewed by

our dedicated listening panel.

This way we can guarantee

the correct level of musically

performance and robustness.

Generally we’re after super

neutral, super detailed and

super dynamic reproduction

without “loosing” the nerve

in the music, which often is a

drawback of many high end

systems. Our real strongholds

are complete silence,

unbelievable depth and width

in the soundstage resulting

in a far more open sound

with higher resolution -you

could say, closer to the artist.

As a result of the above, our

electronics do not “focus” on

any specific frequencies - i.e.

no extension of top or bass,

which of coarse results in high

clarity of the midrange since

it’s “naturally present”!

After unpacking

allow 24 hours

for the product to

reach room temperature

before connecting up

and switching on. This

is to allow condensation

to dissipate, which

might otherwise

cause damage to the

electronics. Remember

also that condensation

can form when you

move the amplifier from

a cold place to a warm

room.

Safety notice

The Vitus Audio MP-T201

contains no user serviceable

parts except from the mains

fuse. Do not attempt to open

the case. There are potentially

dangerous voltages present

inside. Should your MP-T201

show signs of malfunction,

then please contact your

dealer or Vitus Audio.

Mains supply voltage

Any unit may be set for

operation in 100V, 115V or

230V AC. Units are shipped set

for the mains supply voltage

according to the destination.

The voltage setting can be

updated later by your dealer, if

Maintenance

Vitus Audio products are

designed to run for many years

show signs of malfunction,

please contact your dealer or

Vitus Audio.

MP-T201 | Version 1

4. operation & service

Mains fuses

The mains fuses are accessible

from the outside of the

amplifier. You will find the

mains fuses just below the

power inlet. If the fuses blow,

then you can easily replace

them. The fuses only blow

on the occurrence of power

surges or if there is a fault

in the unit. Normally power

surges cause no other damage

other than blowing the

fuses. When the fuses blow

repeatedly on replacement,

then the unit most likely has

a malfunction. In case of

malfunction the unit must be

returned to Vitus Audio for

repair.

Fuse type:

230V : 20 x 5mm – 500mA – T -

LBC fuse (Time lag fuse)

100-120V : 20 x 5mm – 1 A – T -

LBC fuse (Time lag fuse)

Replacing the fuses with fuses of a type

and rating different from the original

fuses, might result in damage to the unit

and injury to you (the user). Damage to

the unit as a result of wrongly replacing

the mains fuse, will invalidate the

guarantee.

For an explanation of how to replace the

fuse see “Replacing a blown fuse”chapter 4.
