4)
Install Power Tubes
- To avoid damage in transit, the power tubes
are shipped in a protective container inside the main shipping
container. Carefully unpack the tubes, and using a glove or a
clean dry cloth, install the tubes as shown in figure 3.
5)
Inspect Input and Driver Tubes
- Inspect the remaining tubes to
ensure that they are fully seated in their ceramic sockets. If a tube
appears to be tilted or otherwise dislocated, using a glove or clean
cloth, press down gently on the tube to reseat it in its socket. See
Figure 3 for tube locations.
OPERATING YOUR AMPLIFIER
1)
Powering up the system -
First turn on the amplifier by pushing in
the “power” button. The red LED will light after several seconds
after which the unit is ready for use. Always turn on the
preamplifier in the system before the power amplifier and source
materials, and always turn off the power amplifier first
2)
Breaking in the amplifier
- As with many high-quality audio
amplifiers, the sound of the Rogue Eighty-Eight amplifier will
improve during the first few hours of use. This time is required
for components to “burn in.” No special techniques are required
other than standard operation.
Note: This unit will not sound its best until the tubes have
warmed up. This will take approximately 5-10 minutes
