INSTALLING THE PHARAOH
Amplifier Location:
The Pharaoh runs exceptionally cool so it isn’t a problem to mount it in a rack or inside
a cabinet as long as there is an inch or more clearance on the sides and top.
WARNING
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with
items, such as newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.
No naked flame source such as candles should be placed on the Pharaoh.
The Pharaoh should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled
with liquids such as vases or goldfish bowls should be placed on top of the Pharaoh.
Connecting the Pharaoh to your loudspeakers:
The Pharaoh is equipped with 5 way binding posts that can accommodate spade, lug, or
bare wire speaker cable terminations.
Do not over tighten the binding posts!
Connecting the Pharaoh to other components:
The input connections to the Pharaoh are made via RCA and XLR jacks on the rear of
the amplifier. The following connections are available as shown in figure 1:
