Rogue Audio Tempest Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier - Manual (Page 4)

2) Remove Shipping Pallet - The amplifier is attached to a pallet
that supports the main chassis during shipping. This is critical to
ensure that no damage occurs in transit. After removing the
amplifier from the box and packing material, CAREFULLY turn
the unit upon its side. Remove the 4 thumbscrews and washers.
Retain these screws and pallet in the event that the unit ever needs
servicing.
WARNING : Shipping this unit without correctly attaching
the shipping pallet can result in serious structural damage
to the unit.
3) Remove the Top Cover - Using a phillips head screwdriver,
remove the top cover of the amplifier chassis.
WARNING - If the unit has been powered up, you must
turn off the power at the switch and wait at least one hour
before disconnecting the electrical cord. After doing so, the
unit may be unplugged and the top cover removed. This
time is required for dangerous voltages to dissipate.
ADDING A ROGUE EIGHTY-EIGHT POWER AMP
One of the features of the Tempest is that a Rogue Eighty-Eight
power amplifier can be added at a later date to increase the system
power. It is important to use a Rogue Eighty-Eight amplifier so that
the power levels are equivalent between the two amplifiers for a given
input signal. It is also required that the speakers are capable of being
biamped (Separate inputs for tweeters and woofers) The procedure
for biamping is as follows:
1) Remove the shorting connection on the speakers between the
tweeter and woofer inputs.
2) Attach the Speaker wires from the Tempest to the tweeter
connectors on the loudspeakers.
3) Attach speaker cables from the Eighty-Eight amp to the woofer
connectors on the loudspeakers.
4) Connect the active outputs of the Tempest to the inputs of the
Eighty-Eight amp.
