USER MANUAL VORTEX SILVER SERIES V8 V O RT E X S I LV E R S E R I E S IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS . General The amplifier may only be used in accordance with the information provided in the user manual. [. . . ] To prevent electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with any of the conductor portion of the speaker wire exposed. NOTE: For reasons of safety and performance do only use high-quality fully insulated speaker cables of stranded copper wire. Use the largest wire size that is economically and physically practical. IMPORTANT: When connecting speaker cabinets in parallel, always use all the contacts in both SPEAKON connectors. If not, this may cause permanent damage to the connectors and considerably reduce performance. 3. 4 Mains supply When mounting or connecting the amp, always disconnect it from mains. Only connect the V8 amplifier to an appropriate AC circuit and outlet in accordance with the requirements indicated in the second line on the rating plate. VORTEX-V8 120/230V~50/60Hz2100W 4400W/2 xxxxx Exemplary rating plates for a mains supply of 20/230 V AC 50/60 Hz. Power Supply Data: Voltage V8 20/230 V Mains Frequency 50/60 Hz Current 30/5 A Power Consumption 200 W NOTE: Even under normal conditions the mains current can reach levels up to 20 A (230 V), and 40 A (20 V), respectively; this could cause lamps to flicker if connected to the same mains as the amp. The impedance of the AC circuit should be less than 0, 57 to avoid flicker according to EN6000-3- "Electromagnetic compatibility ­ Part 3: Limits ­ Limitation of voltage changes, voltage fluctuations, and flicker in the public low-voltage supply systems ­ Equipment with rated current 75 A and subject to conditional connection". This may damage your meter and expose you to the risk of electric shock! P . 3 USER MANUAL VORTEX SILVER SERIES V8 V O RT E X S I LV E R S E R I E S 4 OPERATION 4.

If the filter becomes clogged, the unit will not cool as efficiently as it should and may result in reduced output levels. For changing the filter, no tools are required: first, gently slide the whole plastic filter assembly a few millimeters to the left and lift it from the front panel. Next, beginning on one of the long sides, carefully unclip the molded surround (4) from the cradle (2) and then carefully pull the CAMCO badge (5) out of the four fastening holes with both hands.
