Sonic Impact Technologies Power 2 manual Quick Setup

Quick Setup

At this point we urge you to read and understand this manual in its entirety. But if you desire immediate action and have skill and/or past experience with tube hardware, fol- low these steps.

1.Place the amp on a hard flat surface that will not impede airflow under the amplifier’s chassis (carpeting or area rugs are NOT acceptable as hard surfaces).

2.Ensure the Power 2 is in Mute mode (these selector switches are on the rear of the

chassis). When disconnecting and connecting cable, placing the amplifier in Mute is an excellent practice.

3.Tube bias was set at the factory prior to shipment. Tubes are also marked for their cor- responding socket location. Carefully inspect each and install appropriately. Check Installing the Tubes and Biasing of the Power Tubes (a must read) for further clarification.

4.Connect your preamplifier’s left and right balanced or single-ended outputs to the left and right inputs of the amplifier.

5.Connect the speakers to the positive (+) red and negative (-) black output binding post. Note: It is not recommended to operate any tube amplifier without its speaker load connected.

6.Select the input for use via the selector switch: XLR-Balanced, Single-Ended Non- Inverting, Single-Ended Inverting .

7.Power up your system turning the power amplifier on last ensuring that both green LEDs are on (no Standby or Mute activation). Allow 5 minutes of warm up before operation.
