OPERATION

Please unpack your amplifier carefully and position it

on a stable, level surface close to a mains socket.

Before attempting to connect it into your system

please read this manual carefully.

The Cyclone will perform well placed on a coffee

table or bookshelf but if you wish to achieve the best

performance we suggest you place it on a specialist

hi-fi support. There are many suitable designs

available, which your dealer will be happy to advise

you about.

Cyclone User Manual

Position the amplifier so that it will not be subjected

to high ambient temperatures: avoid sites where it

will be in direct sunlight or close to a central heating

radiator. For your own safety – and your amplifier’s

well-being — do not allow it to come into contact

with water. Keep it away from potted plants to avoid

those all-too-common watering accidents! To clean

the amplifier’s case disconnect it from the wall

socket and wipe it with a barely damp, lint-free cloth

or chamois leather, stubborn marks may be removed

using ‘White spirit’ however be careful not to remove

the screen printing. If you suspect that water has

entered the casework, return the amplifier to your

dealer so that he can examine it.

Once you have installed the amplifier 

please do not

throw away its packaging. 

 If you move home or

need to return the unit to your dealer, the original

packaging will protect it and ensure it arrives

undamaged.

CONNECTIONS

The Cyclone’s come with a ready assembled mains

lead and we suggest that you use this to connect it

to the mains supply. We strongly recommend that

you connect the lead directly to a wall socket and do

not use extension blocks, which degrade sound

quality. For the same reason we also advise against

“line filters” and “mains conditioners”. If your mains

supply is noisy or you have household appliances

that generate clicks and pops that can be heard

through your hi-fi system, have an electrician correct

the problem at its source. We do however

recommend the use of ‘Merlin Cables’ power chords

which do not interfere with the current flow and offer

a significant performance improvement

Should you need to replace the fuse in your mains

plug (if appropriate), please fit only the correct

replacement types. If for any reason the blue LED on

the left bottom corner of the front panel will not

illuminate, it is possible that one of the internal

protection fuses may have blown, these should only

be replaced by a qualified person.
