GOLDMUND TELOS 2500 - Universal Power Amplifier - 6 

2  AMPLIFIER LOCATION & COOLING 

 
 
The  GOLDMUND  TELOS  2500  amplifier,  as  all  high  quality  amplifiers  generates  a  large 
amount of heat when driven at high levels and must be vented properly. It is mandatory to 
allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. Do not put temperature sensitive equipment on top 
of the amplifier. 
 
Due  to  its  weight,  and  to  maximize  the  effect  of  the  built-in  "Mechanical  Grounding" 
construction, the TELOS 2500 is better located on the floor. Other very strong supports can 
be used if they offer rigid transmission to the floor. 
 
The  TELOS  2500  is  built  on  four  very  hard  conical  feet  to  ensure  proper  vibration 
transmission  to  the  amplifier  support.  This  evacuates  all  detrimental  vibrations  inside  the 
amplifier, following the famous GOLDMUND "Mechanical Grounding" principle. 
 
If you use more than one TELOS 2500 at any location, you may decide to stack them. Be 
careful that the conical feet of the top amp are inserted properly on the top of the steel bars 
of the amplifier located below. You may stack up to 3 amps provided extra care is taken to 
ensure proper air circulation vents the rear heat-sinks. 
 
Depending on the flatness of the surface where the amplifier will be located, you will adjust 
the four round flat feet of the amplifier to allow full contact of the points with the support.
