We strongly recommend the use of a Directed Audio Essentials power capaci- tor with an extra battery in larger stereo systems. Orion Cobalt amplifiers generate a certain amount of heat as part of normal operation. Be sure the area around the amplifier is unobstructed to allow adequate air circulation. Remember, beach blankets, last week's laundry, school books and homework papers located on top of the amplifier do not improve air flow and may become damaged.
Connect the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier. Check the quality of your speakers and signal connections. This will determine the ultimate performance of your Orion Cobalt amplifier. Refer to the Signal Input and Output Level Controls and Speaker Connections sections of this guide for correct wiring instructions.
