VACUUM TUBE ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM

Congratulations on your purchase of the 14-tube 26Wpc Raven 
Audio Spirit 300B Reference Stereo Amplifier. Locate your 
amplifier between the speakers if possible and preferably not on 
carpet without using amp stands. Best practice is to use longer 
interconnects to the amp and shorter speaker cables. 

Insert tubes with care according to the diagram and check tube 
orientation with their sockets. Wipe off the tubes before first use. 
All Raven Audio amplifiers are auto-biasing so you never have to 
be concerned when inserting compatible power tubes, but 
always use matching pairs.
