Unpacking
Teres is shipped with the vacuum tube installed. Unpack carefully, keep in mind the unit
weights 25 kg. All Thrax Audio shipping boxes have been specially designed to protect
their contents and special care has been taken to prevent damage under normal
shipping conditions. Mishandling should be evident upon inspection of the shipping
container. Carefully remove your new component from its packing and examine it
closely for signs of shipping damage. We strongly recommend saving all original packing
to protect your component from damage should you wish to store it or ship it at a later
date.
Instalation
•
Provide adequate ventilation. Do not operate on carpet or any other surface that
might block air flow. The chassis will become warm in normal use!
•
Do not allow the chassis to touch any metal parts, such as the frame of an equipment
rack. This might create a parallel ground path that could degrade the sound of your
system.
•
Input connection is via single ended RCA jacks or XLR jacks (which can be from
balanced or unbalanced sources).
•
Connect the input and speaker cables.
•
Connect the power cable from the power supply to the power amplifier.
•
Connect the power supply to the power source indicated on the voltage selector
card (visible by the main fuse), either 115 or 230 volts AC. The voltage may be select by
means of the removable selector card located behind the fuse in the power connectors.
Remove the cards and reinstall so that the desired voltage may be read; be certain to
change the fuse to the correct value. Connect the power supply to the power source
indicated on the rear panel. Avoid power conditioners that float the ground pin.
ALWAYS connect power cord to component before plugging it into an AC outlet, and
make sure that unit's power switch is set to the "OFF" position before making the final
connection. For best performance, try to route the power cord away from signal cables.
•
Power requirements are approximately 250 watts per channel. Pay close attention to
power quality, and be aware that different power cords can alter the sound.
•
Set the input type switch to XLR or RCA, to match the source and cables.

ARNING
:
Do not allow anything to touch the tubes in normal operation - they become
very hot. Take care to keep everyone, especially children and pets, from being able to
reach and touch the tubes, which become extremely hot and may cause serious injury.
Never touch a tube if the glass is broken. The internal structures carry high voltage and
could present a serious, possibly lethal shock. If a tube breaks, unplug the amplifier and
wait 30 minutes, then remove the tube. Keep flammable objects away from the amplifier.
