POWER-ON SEQUENCE:
During normal
operation, when ULTIMA
6 is in standby mode the large
power button on the front panel
will illuminate an red colour. To
power-on ULTIMA 6 press the
large power button once until
you feel a click. ULTIMA 6’s
power button will now change to
a green colour whilst it begins its
initial safety checks.
During this phase do not increase
the gain on the input device as
you cannot determine its final
amplified volume which can
damage the connected speakers.
Once the amplifier has passed
the safety check and is
operational, after approximately
ten seconds, the amplifier will
display a teal colour.

12V Trigger: A 12V trigger can be
used to remotely turn ULTIMA
6 on or o. Please refer to the
below diagram to correctly wire
your 12V trigger.
When a 12V trigger is sensed by
ULTIMA 6 the colours displayed
on power button will be dierent.
During standby the large power
buton on the front panel will
illuminate an orange colour,
however just like the power
sequence without the 12V trigger
a green colour will be displayed
once you switch the unit on and
it performs its safety checks. You
should still not increase the gain
on the input device.
Once the amplifier becomes
operational the power button
will display a continuious purple
glow.
