your speaker or your local dealer to determine the correct choice. The amplifier is factory set to 8 ohm.
To switch impedance setting:
1)Using a ½” wrench remove the outermost nut from the positive (red) binding post.
2)Remove the 8 ohm tap (green wire marked 8) from the binding post. Be careful to leave the black wire with heat shrink on the post.
3)Remove the polyurethane tubing from the unused 4 ohm wire (yellow) and lug.
4)Place the 4 ohm wire onto the binding post and replace the outer nut.
5)Place the polyurethane tubing on the 8 ohm wire and lug.
CAUTION – Do not operate the amplifier unless it is connected to a loudspeaker.
Connecting the Tempest II to the source components:
The input connections to the Tempest II are made via RCA jacks on the rear of the amplifier. See figure 2. Be sure to use high quality interconnect cables – they do make a difference.

Connecting the Tempest II to the power outlet:
Connect the IEC end of the detachable power cord (provided) to the amplifier, and plug the opposite end into the power outlet. It is recommended that the Tempest II and all sources (CD, tuner, etc,) are plugged into the same wall outlet if possible (perhaps using a power outlet strip) to avoid creating a ground loop.
