When the LED is lighted the Amp 2 is “ON”, receiving
power from the power supply.
B
ON- OF F BUTTON
When in the ON position (button depressed), high
voltage power is received by the Amp 2 circuitry from
the power source. Due to the warm up characteristics
of tubes, it will take 30 seconds for the tubes to pass
full signal. It is suggested that the Amp 2 remain muted
or the Volume turned down for this first minute. When
in the OFF position (not depressed), the Amp 2 is not
receiving power and is not operational.

SPE AKER CONNECTION PO ST S
These 5 way binding posts accept a connection from
one pair of speakers. The negative connections are to
be made to the black connectors; left speaker to the
terminals marked left and right to the terminal marked
right. The positive connections are determined by the
speakers.
D
PREAMPLIFIE R I NPUT
This input accepts RCA input connections from an
external preamp or crossover; connect left channel to
left channel and right channel to right channel.
E
STEREO/BR IDG ED MO NO SWITC H
This switch will allow you to reconfigure your amplifier
from Stereo mode to Bridged Mono mode. This also
requires a minor speaker reconfiguration (described in
the BRIDGED MONO OPERATION SECTION on pg.5).
When operated in the Bridged Mono configuration, the
amplifier is capable of providing up to 600 watts in to a
8 ohm monophonic load.

D E TACH AB LE AC POWER CO RD SOC KET
Plug the Detachable Power Cord into this socket (see
Figure 2). The Amp 2 is factory set for the correct
operating voltage for the area in which it is sold (see
shipping box for voltage setting). If a different operating
voltage is required, please contact an authorized Sonic
Frontiers or Anthem dealer, distributor or the factory
directly.

REMOVING COVER, TUBES OR FUSE.
BR EAK- IN TIM E
As with all audio electronic products, the ultimate sonic character
of the Amp 2 will not be realized until and unless the unit
receives a minimum of approximately 70 hours of signal
break-in time (i.e. the Amp 2 is on and outputting a signal).
PLAC EM ENT FOR PROPE R VE NTILAT I O N
The Amp 2 requires a minimum of 12” (30cm) above and 6”
(15cm) at each side, of unobstructed air space. Make sure
that the ventilation slots on the top, sides and bottom and
the heatsinks on the sides remain unobstructed by any
object. Do not stack any other component on top of the
Amp 2 or block the ventilation slots in any way. Also, be sure
that the Amp 2 is placed on a secure, hard and level surface,
N O T
on carpet.
SAF ET Y INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ventilation - Your Amp 2 generates moderate heat in use, be
sure that the ventilation slots and heatsinks in the top cover
have at least 12” of unobstructed air space above and around
t h e m .
2. Water and Moisture - This product should not be used near
w a t e r. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture.
3. Heat - This product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances which produce heat.
4. Power Sources - This product should be connected to an
AC power source of the proper rated voltage. The original
shipping container will stipulate the AC voltage this unit can
operate with correctly.
5. Cleaning - A regular dusting with a soft, non-abrasive cloth
will generally keep the finish of the faceplate and chassis looking
like new. At no time should you allow any liquid to come in
contact with the Amp 2; it may run into the electronic circuitry
and cause damage which will not be covered under your
warranty.
6. Servicing - Do not open this product. No user serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to an authorized service technician.
7. Non-Use Periods - The power cord of this product should
be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for an extended
period of time.
8. Do not remove the Amp 2 covers while the unit is “on”, or
connected to an AC power source. Cover screws could fall
through the ventilation slots and cause electrical damage to
the Amp 2.
