Unpacking the Chimera Signature from the case

When the power conditioner is still in its case, please move it to a location near the place where 
it will be installed. Remove any metal object like watches and rings to avoid any scratch in the 

unit’s chassis. Put on the included white lifting gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints on the chassis 

as well.

Installation requirements

The surface that will support the Chimera Signature power conditioner must be capable of safely 
supporting the nearly 16kg weight of the power conditioner.

The power conditioner doesn’t need too much ventilation, it can be mounted tight in the rack 

without regard for air flow.

For best possible sound quality and maximum output, we recommend you connect the Chimera 
Signature power conditioner to a dedicated 15-amp outlet or if possible to a 32-amp direct 
connection.

WARNING:

 

This unit is not water proof. DO NOT submerge unit in water or any other fluid. DO NOT 

operate unit in an environment of water condensation. DO NOT operate unit with standing water 

on the floor.
