CONNECTIONS
The Cyclone integrated amplifiers were developed
using high quality interconnects and speaker cables
from Merlin Cables, these allow the amplifiers to
operate as intended and deliver their optimum
performance. We strongly recommend that you use
these cables for all connections. You can obtain
these from your dealer or distributor

WITCHING
YOUR
AMPLIFIER
ON
AND
OFF
To avoid “switch-on thumps” being transmitted to
your loudspeakers when you switch on your system,
we have implemented a highly sophisticated relay
based protection system which is de-activated by
selecting any source. However, if your amplifier is
already switched on and un-muted when you turn on
the ancillary source it is possible that you may hear a
‘thump’ through your speakers. To avoid this we
advise that you should always switch on your
amplifier last. Start by powering your source
components, then switch on your integrated
amplifier. When you’ve finished listening, turn off or
mute the amplifier first, then switch off your sources.
The rear panel switch on the Cyclone connects
mains power to the amplifier. We suggest that during
normal use you leave this switch in the “on” position
and silence the amplifier with the mute/ standby
button situated on the lower left hand corner of the
front panel. This ensures that the Cyclone will always
deliver its best performance as soon as you begin
listening. A blue LED indicates that power is on and
the red LED indicates that the output is functional.
If you are going on holiday you can use the rear
panel switch to power down the amplifier completely.
For absolute safety, disconnect the mains lead from
the wall socket. We also advise that you do this
during thunderstorms to avoid damage from power
line surges.

Mute:
this button mutes the amplifier’s output. It
does not disconnect the Cyclone from the mains
supply. Push it once to silence the amplifier and push
it again to restore the audio output.
The blue LED above this button will illuminate when
the amplifier is connected to the mains supply and
switched on via the rear panel rocker switch. The red
LED indicates whether the amplifier’s output is
operational: if it is glowing the amplifier’s output is
connected; if it is not the amplifier’s audio circuits are
muted. If for any reason the blue LED is illuminated
but the red LED will not come on when the mute
button, or any input button, is pressed then your
amplifier is in protection mode and should be
returned to your dealer for examination.

select this button to listen to your CD player or
any other source you have connected to the CD
input.
