If you’ve already read the copy on the website, 

you probably don’t need to read this. You already 

know that Vidar is a true no-compromises amp—

at an insanely low price. What you may not know 

is how the intelligent microprocessor manage-

ment works, and how to clear faults when it finds 

them. You also may not know how to connect the 

amp as a monoblock. So it may be worth taking 

a look and seeing what you find in the manual. In 

the meantime, here’s what’s in the box, and some 

words from our nannies.

INTRODUCTION

WhAT’S IN ThE BOx

(1) Vidar

(1) Power cord

(0) Stick-on feet (they’re screwed in)

The following is required by the roughly 9,542  

government agencies and regulations we have to 

comply with. If you have some common sense, they 

should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these 

instructions before proceeding farther, follow all instructions, 

and heed all warnings. Or else! 

1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a  

qualified professional to help.

2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a  

dry cloth. 

3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation 

openings, or place near heat sources.

4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement. 

Route cords away from traffic areas and protect them from 

being pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus 

is unused for a long period of time.

5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an  

extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be  

fully inserted.

6. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service is 

required when the device has been damaged, including cord or 

plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into 

the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, 

does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR  

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO 

RAIN OR MOISTURE.
