Unpacking
Please inspect your unit immediately for any possible shipping damages. Pay special attention to
the glass inserts within the front plate. They should inspected for any cracks. Immediately report
any damage to your authorized Odyssey dealer, the shipping company, or Odyssey Design Group.
Please keep the shipping materials in a safe place for possible future reuse.
Location
1. Your Odyssey unit can be installed on a shelf, table, or equipment stand. Since the Tempest
weighs in at around 35 lbs. and the Stratos at around 50 lbs, please check the strength of
your surface material. The more stable and sturdier your surface is, the better resonances
and vibrations are controlled, which also results in better performance of your stereo
system. If preferred, you can also locate the amplifier on the floor. Due to the very effective
Audio Selection damping feet, pretty much all surfaces, wood, tile, carpet, etc. are
acceptable.
2. Due to the efficient design of the heatsinks of the amplifier, there is no need for a large
ventilation area around your Odyssey unit. Both, the Tempest and the Stratos can be
situated in tight areas.
3. DO NOT install your Odyssey product in an excessively hot or humid place.
4. This product is for indoor use only.
Set-Up
1. After positioning your Odyssey unit in the desired location, connect the supplied AC power
cord into the AC receptacle. Make sure, that the AC cord is properly grounded. DO NOT
defeat the grounding pin on the AC plug.
2.
Caution:
Make sure that your unit is turned off before connecting input and and
output wires. Always remember to turn off your unit whenever you connect or
disconnect any cables within your system. Depending on connected electronics and
cables, there is always a chance that your unit could be damaged if these
precautions aren’t taken.
3. Next, connect the RCA interconnect cables into the matching RCA input connectors. For
the amplifier, connect the cables from the loudspeakers into the speaker - binding posts on
the back of the amplifier. These solid and heavy, gold-plated connectors are designed to
accomodate either bare wires, spades, or banana plugs.
