AKING TAPE RECORDINGS
The Cyclone 1.2’s tape circuits are set to record
from the currently selected input. So, if you are listing
to your tuner input, that is the signal that is being
sent to the amplifier’s record outputs. You cannot
listen to one source while recording from another. To
record from any input simply select it on the amplifier
and switch your cassette deck to “Record”. Use the
Monitor button, whose function is described above,
to monitor from suitably equipped cassette decks.
To copy from one cassette or tape deck to another
on the Cyclone 1.2 integrated amplifier, you must
use Tape 2 / Aux as the source (play) deck and Tape
1 as the destination (record) deck.

ONTROL OPERATION
.
The Cyclone’s remote control window is situated at
the bottom of the front panel just to the left of the
volume control. The remote control handset must
have an unobstructed view of this window in order to
pass instructions to the amplifier.
The handset duplicates all the control functions of
the amplifier’s front panel and is RC5 compatible .

OWER CONNECTIONS
The Cyclone’s mains switch is fitted on the right of
the rear panel, when viewed from the rear. Use this
to switch off the amplifier completely. Below or to the
side of it is an IEC socket into which the supplied
mains lead fits. If an internal fuse should blow i.e. the
blue LED will not illuminate when the amplifier is not
hot but plugged in and switched on, then the
amplifier should be returned to your dealer for
examination. Any replacement should only be of an
identical type.

IGNAL CONNECTIONS
All signal connections for the Cyclone use RCA
phono sockets, which are clearly identified by
legends on the rear panel. The uppermost
connectors are for the left channel, and the lower
ones for the right.

URNTABLE SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Phono equipped units leave our factory set up for
use with moving coil cartridges. They can, however,
be easily reconfigured to work with moving magnet
cartridges. This involves no more than altering
jumper settings on the amplifier’s circuit board.
If you do not feel confident about doing this yourself
please return the amplifier to your dealer.
To change from the default (moving coil) setting to
moving magnet setting:
Move the six red jumpers from the pins marked C to
the corresponding pins marked M
Failure to position the jumpers correctly will cause no
harm but will prevent the phono stage from
operating properly.

PEAKER CABLE CONNECTIONS
Cyclone amplifiers use gold-plated European saftey
sockets. These are both designed to be touch proof
and to be secure, good-sounding connections for
speaker cables. These should be soldered for the
best long term performance.
The output sockets are marked LEFT and RIGHT to
indicate which channel is which. Each channel’s red
terminal is its positive connection and the black
terminal is the negative. There are two sets of each
to facilitate bi-wiring.
Cyclone amplifiers are suitable for use with most
current loudspeaker systems with an impedance
rating between 4 and 16 Ohms. Contact your dealer
if you have a particularly unusual loudspeaker
system and are uncertain about how your amplifier
might react to it. Under all normal circumstances the
amplifier is well protected against encounters with
demanding speakers: it has thermal protection,
voltage and current limiting and DC offset protection.

WIRING
If you intend to bi-wire - or tri-wire - your
loudspeakers, we recommend that you use cables
fitted with the correct plugs.
