Leema-acoustics Hydra Handbook - Hydra Overview
Never attempt to open the cabinet. There are no user adjustable parts inside and doing so will invalidate the amplifier’s warranty.
In the event of an electrical storm, remove the mains power lead from the wall outlet.
As with all high-powered amplifiers, high voltages can occur at the output binding posts. Loudspeaker connection should only
be carried out with the unit switched off. Care should be taken to ensure there is no possibility of a short circuit behind the unit
when in use, for example, metal framed hi-fi units may be a hazard.
Leema amplifiers do not have any output short circuit protection so extreme care must be taken.
Hydra overview
The Leema Hydra is a very high power output, microprocessor controlled, stereo power amplifier. Thanks to the LIPS (Leema
intelligent protocol system) interface, it can be used to bi-Amplify a Tucana in an audiophile stereo system, act as the power
amplifier in a stereo pre-power combination or become part of a stunning home cinema or surround music system. Each
component in your system will dynamically re-configure in real time depending on your individual system requirements. The
microprocessor control gives an unprecedented degree of sophistication, making the Leema constellation series easy to use for
all the family. No longer will only one member of the family know how to play a CD or watch a movie. The built-in intelligence
learns your preferences without menus and confusing options.
