technologies, components, and software with a clean, user-friendly style, impeccable audio performance and leading edge
capabilities, making it the perfect foundation for any music or home theater system.
This manual contains information on using the FAP T1 Preamp/Processor. It is organized into two sections. Installation
covers the location and connection of the preamp/processor in the system. Like many precision components, careful
attention to the initial setup can yield dividends in higher performance and trouble-free use. Operation covers the
controls and features of the preamp/processor, and how to use them to get the best effect. We strongly urge reading over
the Installation and Operation portions of this manual before putting the FAP T1 into service.
IMPORTANT:
The FAP T1 is shipped from the factory in the following default mode:
Output Configuration 7.1

After reading the rest of this manual and determining how your system should be set up, please refer to pages 18-24 to
change these settings.
If your system will be operated in less than a 7.1 channel configuration, some DSP modes will not be available to you.
