# Voyage i20 Integrated Amplifier User Manual (V1.2)

## Unpacking and Location

- The Creek Audio Voyage i20 integrated amplifier comes with a power cord, remote control handset, batteries, and a Bluetooth antenna.
- Ensure proper mains connection: match the power cord to your region's socket, use a good quality extension strip if necessary, but avoid ground loop or lift power strips.
- Grounding is essential for safety; the power cord should handle this automatically.
- The amplifier has a fuse (T10AL 250V) inside that cannot be replaced; replace it only with the specified value to avoid invalidating the warranty and potential safety risks.

## Quick Setup

- Place the amplifier on a stable, flat surface with easy access to terminals and controls.
- Connect the mains cable to the IEC socket, then plug into a wall outlet or extension strip.
- Attach speaker cables from loudspeakers to binding posts at the rear of the amp (use 4mm or spade lugs).
- Connect an analog source (e.g., streamer/DAC) or digital product (e.g., computer, music streamer) to one of the available inputs.
- Power on the amplifier by switching the rocker switch to position 1 (ON).

## Front Panel Controls

- Volume and Balance: Rotate the right-hand control knob to adjust volume (1dB steps); press and hold to adjust balance.
- Mute: Press the volume knob briefly for mute, or a longer press to enter/exit Standby mode (after 30 minutes of inactivity).
- Input Selection & Menu: The left-hand knob selects inputs or accesses the menu; press it again to navigate menu options.

## Advanced Setup

### Placement

- Place the amplifier on a stable, flat surface or a dedicated rack/table with access to a reliable mains supply.
- Avoid stacking equipment on top of the amp to ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating.

### Ventilation

- Ensure good airflow for optimal performance; do not block the top and bottom ventilation slots.

### Powering the Amplifier

- Plug the power cord into the IEC socket, then connect the 3-pin plug to a wall outlet or extension strip.
- Use the mains POWER switch (0 and 1) on the rear panel to power on/off; pressing either control knob also powers it up.
- Remote power functions: press the blue AMP button or MUTE button (loudspeaker symbol with X) on the remote handset.

## Additional Notes

- Volume settings are stored during power off and limited to -20dB when powered on.
- The amplifier's output is a product of volume setting and input signal level; lower source signals may require higher volume settings.
