USB Wi-Fi Dongle Streaming Amplifier Only With the Streaming Amplifier we include a Wi-Fi dongle and small extension cable. To be able to stream music via BluOS, the Streaming Amplifier will need to be connected to your network, whether it is by the LAN Input or by Wi-Fi. To connect the Streaming Amplifier to your Wi-Fi network, you will need to plug the dongle into the back of the amplifier.
Signal Connect the appropriate cables for your signal sources. If you have purchased the Attessa CD Transport as well, it is supplied with a coaxial digital cable. This can be connected directly to the D1 input. When partnered with the matching Attessa Turntable, set turntable output switch to PASSIVE and connect to the Phono input, always use the supplied RCA cable as it is carefully matched to the response of the DANA cartridge when in passive mode.
IMPORTANT: For the app to find the Streaming Amplifier, you will need to select the BluOS input. The BluOS module inside the amplifier has an LED that is visible through the chassis. This provides constant feedback with the connection status of the BluOS module. Below are a list of colour and flash combinations. It can also be turned off or dimmed within the BluOS app menu. Solid Green: The Player is in Hotspot Mode and is ready to be connected to the network.
Operation OLED Display AMP To preserve the lifeATTESSA of the INTEGRATED OLED display, there is an automatic display saver mode. If there are no commands received for 2 minutes the display will turn off until a command is received. Turning On & Standby A single press of the standby button on the unit or single press of the standby button on the remote will wake the unit from standby and the button LED will turn solid orange.
Source Selection The various sources can be selected by pressing in, holding and rotating the Volume/ Input Selection Knob clockwise or anti-clockwise. You will get haptic feedback as a different input is scrolled past. They are also accessed by pressing the Source Scroll buttons on the remote. A1 is the default input unless Standby Plus is enabled with the 12v Trigger off, when it will be A2 (for Music Sense). When going into standby, the amplifier will remember its last selected input.
Options Menu The Settings Menu button on the remote brings up some customisation options for the Streaming/ Integrated Amplifier, these are: • 12v Trigger • Standby Plus • • • • • • • • • • • Wired IR Auto Standby Headphone Sensitivity A1 Sensitivity A2 Sensitivity MM Sensitivity Balance AV Bypass MAC Addresses Firmware Versions BluOS Version & IP Address (Streamer only) Some features can also be accessed via the Maestro Unit App.
NOTE: Of the wired inputs, only A2 has automatic music sense. How the 12v Trigger and Standby Plus interact with each other can be seen in the table below: 12V Trigger OFF 12V Trigger ON Standby Plus OFF Music Sense OFF Music Sense OFF Standby Plus ON Music Sense ON Music Sense OFF Auto Standby Here you can control the Auto Standby feature of the Integrated/ Streaming Amplifier. It is on by default and the amplifier will go into standby mode if no signal is received for 20 minutes.
MM Gain The phono stage’s Moving Magnet (MM) Gain adjustment is to allow for the varying output voltages of phono cartridges. It will be set to Mid by default which is for cartridges with an output of around 6 mV max which will be the setting needed for any Roksan Cartridge for example, Corus 2 or Dana. The “Low Gain” setting should be used with cartridges that have a high output level of around 12 mV. The “High Gain” setting to be used with 3 mV cartridges.
AV Bypass WARNING: If you are going to enable AV Bypass for A2, please ensure all amplifiers are turned off at the mains before connecting any signal cables between the amplifiers. WARNING: Ensure the volume of the AV receiver is set to minimum when first setting this feature up or will risk damaging your amplifiers, speakers and potentially hearing.
MQA Master Quality Authenticated (Streaming Amplifier only) MQA is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download. Visit mqa.co.uk for more information. The Attessa Streaming Amplifier includes MQA technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.
Updates The MaestroUnite app will notify you if there is a new Roksan Firmware update for the units and the BluOS app will notify you of an update to the BluOS module. Both the Streaming and Integrated Amplifiers need to connect to the internet to receive the updates. This is done as part of the setup of the MaestroUnite app. NOTE: The Integrated Amplifier only has access to the internet during the updating procedure. There is no other way or need for it to connect to the internet.
Factory Reset Should the need arise to carry out a factory reset on your Attessa Streaming/ Integrated Amplifier, please follow these simple steps. 1. 2. Hold the standby button down for about 20 seconds. The Power Button LED will turn blue, keep the button pressed. There will be a message appear saying “Hold For Factory Reset” and the LED will turn green. Keep the button pressed in. 3. Next a message saying “Factory Reset”. Release the button now and the Streaming/ Integrated Amplifier will restart.
Troubleshooting Within this trouble shooting section there will be a full explanation of each of the error states and messages that the Integrated Amplifier and Streaming can display. Over temperature This is where the amp has got too hot due to being played for long periods of time and/ or at high levels. Additionally, this can also happen if something has covered it to stop the air escaping from the unit.
