Leema-acoustics Hydra Handbook - Hydra

HYDRA
VERY IMPORTANT
Before connecting your new Leema Hydra to the rest of your system, please ensure that the loudspeaker cables are correctly
and firmly attached to the binding posts on the rear of the unit. All required sources and LIPS cables should also be connected
BEFORE inserting the mains power leads to the system and powering for the first time. The Hydra amplifier has no output short
circuit protection since such circuits limit the output current capability of the amplifier and even complex protection circuits have
undesirable and audible side effects. Short circuiting the amplifier with power applied will damage the amplifier and can be
dangerous.
User installation and safety advice
Please ensure that the mains voltage of your new Hydra amplifier is correct for your region. The setting is displayed on a label
below the mains power inlet. The mains voltage setting is not user adjustable, therefore the amplifier must be returned to the
manufacturer if any changes are required.
Ensure the mains supply is switched off at the wall socket, or unplugged before installing or moving the amplifier.
Do not use near water, for example do not place a potted plant on top of the unit or allow drinks to be placed near the unit. If
liquid is spilt in to the cabinet, remove the mains lead from the wall immediately. The amplifier should then be returned to your
dealer for safety testing before re-use. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or even fire! Do not use the amplifier in damp
conditions, e.g. outside of the house.
Keep away from direct sunlight and other heat sources and ensure adequate ventilation around the amplifier to maintain proper
cooling. Units MUST NOT be stacked directly on top of each other.
Avoid touching the amplifier cabinet after prolonged use as the case and heatsinks may become hot to the touch.
