Instruction Manual

Setup and Operation
Step 1 - Placement
Set the N22 amplier on a solid surface and make sure there is plenty of
ventilation and space around the amplier top and bottom. The integrated
stand is not designed to be removed as the N22 uses a passive convection
system for heat dissipation. Keeping your N22 upright with the stand
attached is important for optimal ventilation and to keep your N22 running
cool.
Step 2 - Connecting the Speaker Wire
The N22 is a stereo power amplier that will power one pair of passive
speakers between 4 and 8 ohms. To connect N22 to your speakers you will
need 2-conductor stranded speaker wire, which is included. The N22 uses
high quality, ve-way gold plated binding posts that will accept heavy
gauge bare wire, banana plugs, spade lugs, or pin terminators. If you use
your own speaker wire we recommend using at least 16 gauge wire and
using the same length of wire from the amplier to each speaker. It's also a
good idea to turn o your amplier before connecting power, audio sources
or speakers.
Preparing the Speaker Wire
 Separate the last 3” of each speaker wire conductor.
 Strip ½” of insulation from the end of each wire.
 Twist the exposed copper strands with your ngers 3 or 4 times so the
strands stay together.
Note: As you make your connections, be sure to connect the positive (+)
terminals on your amplier to the positive (+) terminals on your speakers.
Even if your wire does not have (+) or (-) markings, most 2-conductor
speaker wire has printing on one side to help you dierentiate between the
wire pairs.
