Owner`s manual

Tempest preamplifier: Basic hook up and operation:
● Tempest front panel: Big knob at left is turn on/off switch. Do not force it to go beyond when
a soft click takes place. Then unit is on (approximately a 9:00 position) or backwards is in
off position (approximately a 7:00 position). Big knob at right is volume control. Small
central knobs are for input source control: Select and Monitor. A small squared window cut
at extreme right is the IR sensor for remote volume operation if you ordered this option.
● Line inputs: Tempest has 3 line inputs plus a Monitor Loop.
● Monitor loop has two positions: Select and Tape. Select allows to listen to the source
selected by amplifier's (source) Select knob, this signal is sent to Tape Sel. Output so you
can record it or process it separately. When in Tape position it is the signal coming from a
tape deck, CD recorder or maybe another auxiliary device that will be heard.
● Phono inputs: Tempest has a reference grade phono preamplifier MC/MM capable. On the
back panel a switch aside phono inputs selects MM cartridge in up position and MC in
down position. Inputs at left are for MM cartridge, the pair of inputs at right are for MC
cartridge. Big screw terminal at extreme left is for connecting turntable's ground line to
preamplifier's chassis.
● Line outputs: There is a stereo output set at left extreme on preamplifier's back panel, if you
ordered a second output stereo set will be aside the main outputs.
● Connections: Always keep channels order, this is: white to white (left channel) and red to
red (right channel).
Stratos and Khartago (stereo and mono amplifiers): Basic hook up and operation:
● Power on rocker switch is on back panel.
● If you have a Stratos Stereo (Basic, Plus, Extreme) or a Khartago Stereo (Basic, Plus,
Extreme) plug to it's Left and Right input jacks the cables from preamplifier or receiver's
main output or pre out or check the user manual to find how the manufacturer labeled the
ouput jacks from preamplifier or receiver.
● For Stratos and Khartago families in mono versions follow the above procedure and be
careful to keep channel order. Mono amplifiers only accept one channel signal, Left or
Right.
● In all cases remember to always keep channels order, this is: white to white (left channel)
and red to red (right channel).
Cyclops integrated amplifier: Basic hook up and operation:
● Power on rocker switch is on back panel.
● Big knob at front is control volume.
● A small squared window cut at extreme right on front panel is the IR sensor for remote
volume operation if you ordered this option.
● Cyclops integrated amplifier only has one line input stereo set, you can connect to these
inputs a stereo signal from a source component like a CD, music server, etc.. Remember to
always keep channels order, this is: white to white (left channel) and red to red (right
channel).
