ABOUT THE MANUAL AND WARRANTY
To start enjoying your new VIBE monoblock amplifier, please read the instructions listed in this manual. Keep all
instructions for future reference. Please fill out and send in the enclosed warranty card to protect your purchase
and aid in warranty service. Also, save your original sales receipt as proof of purchase.
VIBE ICC VENTS
The MonoBox amplifiers feature an ultra compact low profile design that utilizes ICC (Internal Convection
Cooling) Vents. Each MOSFET is individually clamped to the aluminium heat sink allowing maximum heat transfer
to be achieved through the internal cooling fins; the ICC vent allows the dissipation of the heat without affecting
the superior exterior aesthetics. It is very important not to block or impede the air flow to and from the ICC vents
as this may cause the unit to become very hot and go into a protection mode.
DO NOT BLOCK ICC VENTS OR THE AIR-FLOW TO THE ICC VENTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION
To achieve maximum performance and superior sonic quality from your MonoBox amplifier the following points
should be followed:
§
Mount the amplifier horizontally or vertically - NEVER upside down
§
Use VIBE Power 4 or Power 8 supply & ground cable (minimum)
§
Use VIBE REMOTE 18 FLAT LINES remote cable
§
Use VIBE FLAT2 OFC RCA interconnects
§
Use VIBE FLAT1 OCC Bass Specific RCA Interconnects
§
Use VIBE FLAT13 OFC solid core bass cable for subwoofer applications
