INTRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS output power 60 WPC frequency response 10Hz - 20 kHz THD < 0.1% typical < 1% at rated power input sensitivity 1.0 V RMS dimensions 18 ¼” W x 15 ¾” D x 7” H weight 60 Lbs power requirements 115/230V - 50/60Hz Congratulations on your purchase decision! We at Rogue Audio truly believe that our amplifiers provide the “smartest” value in high-end audio.
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.
4) Install Power Tubes - To avoid damage in transit, the power tubes are shipped in a protective container inside the main shipping container. Carefully unpack the tubes, and using a glove or a clean dry cloth, install the tubes as shown in figure 1. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM IF SOUND IS NOT PRESENT OR IS ONLY IN ONE CHANNEL 1) Ensure that power cord is secure and the power LED is on KT88 KT88 3) Check that the mute button is not pushed in. 12AU7 12AU7 4) Check that the balance knob is not turned.
) Select Mode - The Rogue Tempest features a user selectable option of either Triode or Ultra-Linear operating modes. Some listeners prefer pure triode operation, however, it does limit the power output of the amplifier to approximately 40 watts per channel. Ultra-Linear operation offers the amplifier’s full rated output power of 60 watts per channel. The user is encouraged to try both modes and determine their own preference.
OPERATING YOUR TEMPEST 1) Delays- Note that the Tempest is equipped with a slow turn-on feature that protects other equipment from dangerous transients at turn-on as well as significantly prolonging tube life. 2) Powering up the system - First turn on the amplifier by pushing in the “power” button. The red LED will light showing that the unit is powered up. After approximately 10 seconds the outputs will disconnect from ground.
⇒ Place polyurethane tubing on the 8-ohm wire and lug. ⇒ Replace nut onto binding post and tighten with wrench. 8) Attach Power Cord - Connect the IEC end of detachable power cord to the amplifier, and plug opposite end into corresponding outlet. 9) Connections to other components -. The input connections from the musical source are made via RCA jacks on the rear of the amplifier. Be sure to use high quality interconnect cables - they do make a difference.
