FAQ

Can I connect a turntable and a streamer simultaneously?

Yes — with its MM phono input and digital inputs (optical/co‑axial), you can connect both a turntable and a digital source at the same time.

Do I need a separate DAC if I plan to stream from a PC or streamer?

No — the Elex MK4’s built‑in DAC supports up to 24‑bit/192 kHz, so you can feed digital signals directly into the amp.

Will it drive demanding / low‑sensitivity speakers?

With 72 W (8 Ω) / 90 W (6 Ω), Elex MK4 has sufficient muscle to power most bookshelf and many floor‑standing speakers.

Care & Maintenance

Place the amplifier on a stable, well‑ventilated surface. Ensure adequate airflow around the chassis, as the custom case acts as a heat sink. Use a dry, soft cloth to clean exterior surfaces — avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners. Turn off the unit before connecting/disconnecting cables.
