Installation
Your Model 88 is shipped in two boxes containing:
● Two monoblocks (one for each channel)
● Two tube quartets (each with two input and two power tubes)
● Extra fuses
Your manual is available for download from our website: www.audiopax.com.
The monoblocks should be installed in an airy area, avoiding enclosed spaces (such as
cabinets) and maintaining an empty surface of at least 30 cm above them. As your on/off switch
is located at the rear of the equipment, it is also important that this space is easily accessible. It
achieves optimal operating conditions within 30 minutes and should be turned off whenever long
periods until the next listening session may occur (this recommendation is made to extend the
life of your tubes). For the best sound, we advise you to also install it in a location free of excess
bass, avoiding interference and feedback in your tubes (as room corners).
With the monoblock already in its final position, it is now necessary to install the tubes,
which will only fit in its correct position. For the 12AT7 (input tubes), you just have to match the
biggest distance between their pins with the same space at the sockets. For the KT88s (power
tubes), you just have to match the guide plastic pin below it with the hole at the sockets. Once
the correct position is reached, gently press each tube until its base fully touches the socket and
they are 100% perpendicular to the chassis.
Without connecting the AC cable, make sure that the “
Power On/Off ” switch on the rear
of each one of the amplifiers is in their “ Off ” position. Connect the signal input RCA cables
(black/white: left channel; red: right channel), the speaker cables to the appropriate binding
posts (taking care to put both with the same polarities). Finally connect the power cord to the
IEC connector, respecting the nominal voltage of your
Model 88 (120V or 230V).
