Quicksilver Silver 60 Mono Operating Instructions

Quicksilver Audio Silver 60 Mono Amplifier

Operating Instructions

Thank you for purchasing the Quicksilver Audio Silver 60 Mono Amplifiers. These amplifiers have been
engineered to have a very wide bandwidth, extremely low distortion and superior dynamic range.
The output transformer used in this amplifier is based on the best designs of the past but uses superior new
materials to achieve a very high level of performance. The high frequency characteristics of this transformer
are so stable that many different output tubes may be used without the need for circuit changes or
compensation adjustments.
This is an all tube design and uses no circuit boards or transistors.
This device has very high internal voltages. Never operate with the bottom removed!
Never operate your amplifers with the speakers disconnected.
To prolong the life of your amplifiers, never turn them on and off within a short period of time
(45 seconds.)

PLACEMENT

The Silver 60 Mono Amplifiers should have at least 6 inches of ventilation space on either side and
at least 6 inches above them. If this is not possible, them use a fan for cooling.

SPEAKER CONNECTION

Screw terminals are used for speaker connection because of their superior sonic performance. The
output transformer wires are silver soldered directly to the screw strips eliminating any output
wiring. Placing the amp directly behind the speaker with a very short speaker wire will further
improve the performance. The connection to the 4 or 8 ohm tap will be determined by the rating
on the back of your speaker system. The 1 ohm tap is for special applications only. The C terminal
should be connected to the common, ground, or negative terminal of your speaker.

SYSTEM GROUNDING

At least one component of your system should always be grounded. Your Mono Amplifiers
come with three pronged grounded AC plugs. In some systems, where the preamp is also
grounded, a ground loop may appear as a low level hum. Using an adaptor on the AC plug, to
lift the amplifier grounds, will solve this problem.
