Rogue Audio Tempest Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier owner manual Using An External Preamplifier

⇒Place polyurethane tubing on the 8-ohm wire and lug.

⇒Replace nut onto binding post and tighten with wrench.

8)Attach Power Cord - Connect the IEC end of detachable power cord to the amplifier, and plug opposite end into corresponding outlet.

9)Connections to other components -. The input connections from the musical source are made via RCA jacks on the rear of the amplifier. Be sure to use high quality interconnect cables - they do make a difference.

10)Polarity - The Rogue Tempest amplifier is a non-inverting amplifier (positive signal in gives positive signal out) so, for best sound, care should be taken to ensure correct polarity at the speaker terminals. Connect the positive (+) outputs of the Tempest to the positive (+) terminals of the loudspeakers and the

negative (-) outputs to the (-) negative loudspeaker terminals.

11)Amplifier Location - The Rogue Tempest amplifier is an enclosed tube design with forced air ventilation and cooling. This cooling has been designed and tested to ensure long term reliability and safety of the unit. The amplifier should be placed in such a way that this airflow is not impeded. See Figure 7.

USING AN EXTERNAL PREAMPLIFIER

The Tempest offers the flexibility of adding an external preamplifier should the user wish to do so. In the external preamp mode the Tempest preamp is completely bypassed and only the power amplifier section is used. To set up the Tempest for use with an external preamp perform the following steps.
