Pyramid Monoblock Amplifier 

 
 
 

Installation 

 

Placement of the Pyramid 

 

To take full benefit of the monoblock design of the Pyramid, you should 

place them as close as possible to the loudspeaker’s cabinet. This will 

allow shortening the sensitive link - the speaker cables. 

 

If you have a thick carpet, it is advisable to place the Pyramids on 

small stands to allow an optimal thermal dissipation. 

 

 

Installing the fuse 

 

You should start by installing the fuse. 

 

Apply a pressure with your thumb to 

release the fuse compartment. 

 

 

Each monoblock comes with a set of 5 or 10A fuses. Make sure the 

supplied fuses have the correct value (refer to the following table). In 

the event that the fuses don’t have the correct value, please contact 

your dealer. 

 

 

 

 

 

Put the 

compartment 

back in place
