SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Protection against DC
The Goldmund Telos 153 is a DC-coupled amplifier without protection. If it is associated
with a badly designed or defective preamplifier the speakers could easily be damaged by
the DC.
The Telos 153
doesn’t amplify DC but DC applied at the input is passed to the output.
This protection circuit is totally transparent and has no sonic effect.
Short-circuits warning
If one output is short-circuited by accident, the amplifier will source too much current.
Such accident should be limited over time to avoid excessive heat. Short-circuits are not
covered by the warranty.
ATTENTION:
the Goldmund Telos 153 is an extremely high speed amplifier.
Any bad ground connection can generate high frequency oscillations which are dangerous
for the tweeters.
It is also generally dangerous to run input cables and speaker cables in parallel for a long
distance. If these cables are not of high quality or
badly shielded, an “Antenna-Effect” can
generate dangerous high-frequency oscillations.
8 MAINTENANCE
The Goldmund Telos 153 amplifier usually requires no maintenance.
To clean your amplifier, use a very soft, clean, damp cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
Dampen with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive or harsh cleansers (e.g.
products containing sodium carbonate). Always turn the power OFF before cleaning your
amplifier.
