OWNER’S MANUAL CHIMERA SIGNATURE POWER CONDITIONER
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
Burn-In
The power distributor is constructed using massive wiring and heavy duty contacts throughout.
For best performance allow at least 300 hours of continuous operation.
Mounting platforms
Ideally the Chimera Signature should be placed on a proper shelf, amp stand or solid platform.
A heavy plank of wood or a granite slab works well also.
Cones and isolation feet
The Chimera Signature uses steel isolation spikes that were designed specifically to reduce
vibration from the underlying platform. You may wish to experiment with other after-market
products.
AC wall outlets
We strongly recommend that you replace the wall outlet at least with a high quality commercial
grade unit. The standard wall outlet is not adequate for high current applications. There are also
many audiophile grade outlets that are plated with a variety of metals including silver, gold and
rhodium, that will perform even better.
WARNING: We DO NOT recommend using the Chimera Signature with other power
distributors, conditioners or regenerators. Connecting multiple power components in
series usually delivers unpredictable or poor results. If extra outlets are needed, use
separated Audiotricity power conditioners or an High-End extension block.
