Rogue Audio Tempest Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier manual

OPERATING YOUR TEMPEST

1)Delays- Note that the Tempest is equipped with a slow turn-on feature that protects other equipment from dangerous transients at turn-on as well as significantly prolonging tube life.

2)Powering up the system - First turn on the amplifier by pushing in the “power” button. The red LED will light showing that the unit is powered up. After approximately 10 seconds the outputs will disconnect from ground. After another 10 seconds, the control section will be unmuted and the Tempest is ready to play music.

Note : This unit will not play for approximately 20 seconds after power on while tubes warm up.

3) Switches and Controls - The Tempest is equipped with volume, balance, source, power, mute, and an optional remote volume .

•Volume – adjust gain from 0 to 23Volts out

•Balance - left and right channel attenuation

•Source - selects source material (CD, phono, tape, tuner, aux, preamp)

•Power - on/off operation

•Mute - mutes output

Remote Volume Control - The Tempest is optionally equipped with an analog remote volume control feature. The volume may be adjusted manually using the knob on the front panel, or by using the remote control provided.

4)Breaking in the amplifier - As with many high-quality audio amplifiers, the sound of the Rogue Tempest amplifier will improve during the first 50 to 100 hours of use. This time is required for components to “burn in.” No special techniques are required other than standard operation.

Note: This unit will not sound its best until the tubes have warmed up. This will take approximately 5-10 minutes
