Important:
We recommend that if you intend on using your Komet
older, vintage amplifiers, that you set your vintage amplifier's impedance selector to 8for
the first step of attenuation
impedance of the speakers or cabinet used. If your amp and speaker load is 8 set the
impedance selector to 4in the first step of attenuation. This precaution will lower the current
flowing within the output tubes under full power. We also recommend this same action with
EL84/6BQ5 powered amplifiers. Set the impedance selector of your vintage amplifier
according to the speaker impedance being used in any other step of attenuation past the first
click.
We recommend that you do not use the Komet
for very long, extended periods at very high volume levels
out").
This is because the Komet
can surpass its 100W RMS rating when cranked way up. This could possibly over-heat the
attenuator causing damage to one or more of the load resistors.
Note: The Komet

attenuation level increases. The maximum load capability for the Komet
Watts under full attenuation. You should not have a problem using the Komet
100W amplifier, but it is always best to operate your 100W amplifier and attenuator within
reason.
Final note:

place the unit it in a well ventilated area and never have it covered up. The Komet

A Special Note on Speaker Cabinets and Speakers: we recommend that you use quality
speaker cable with quality brand male plugs. This is to guarantee a tight fit to the speaker jacks
and cabinet. We prefer the Switchcraft
cabinet wire leads are directly soldered to the to the speaker terminals instead of using the
on
gripping terminals.
