OPERATION ________________________________________________________
Signal input connection is made via the input jacks on the rear of the CAD 300 SEI located next to the
output binding posts. The interconnect cables from the output of the preamplifier can be any convenient
length your set-up requires. The choice of a high quality interconnect cable is important. Once again, your
audio dealer will have the proper cables in stock for this purpose.
Your new CAD 300 SE Signature's are ready for operation after the speaker, interconnect cables and the
three tubes have been installed.
AC On Power Switch
Simply push the AC rocker switch up to the ON position (the BLUE LED will light).
Stand-By Switch
This is a most convenient feature on the CAD 300 SE Signature amplifier. This switch is located on the front
of the amplifier. In the "up" position, the amplifier is ready to operate. In the "down" position (provided
the front panel AC switch is in the "on" position), only the tube filaments are operating. You may wish to
leave your CAD 300 SE Signature amp turned on in the stand-by mode 24 hours a day. When you wish to
listen to music, simply flip the stand-by switch in the "up" position. Under these conditions the CAD 300 SE
Signature's are always warmed up and ready for peak performance.

Break-In Period
The tubes, capacitors and output transformers take approximately 100 hours of music playing to fully
settle in for peak performance. The CAD 300 SE Signature's may seem sterile or thin sounding right out of
the box. After the first couple of hours you will notice increased depth and tighter bass. This break in
period defies all engineering theory, but is true with most audio amplifiers.
