Welcome to a true throwback—a no-

excuses, Class AB, linear supply, heavy-

as-heck power amplifier. But at the same 

time, Vidar 2 has an eye to the future, 

with full microprocessor management 

of all operating conditions, for better 

performance and safety. And we’ve even 

added a super-smart standby mode that 

cuts power consumption to just a watt 

or two, while keeping the amp ready for 

great sound. We hope you really enjoy 

this marriage of old and new! 

INTRODUCTION

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.
