6 SAFETY FEATURES & MAINTENANCE
The GOLDMUND Telos 3500 amplifier provides sophisticated features to protect the
amplifier and the speakers against all mishandling or component failure. However,
precautions must be taken to avoid problems with a very high power amplifier.
6.1

PROTECTION AGAINST DC

The Telos 3500 is a DC-coupled amplifier. If the associated preamplifier is badly designed
or defective (often true for the tube preamps), the speakers could be damaged.
In such a case, the DC protection circuit of the Telos 3500 will automatically turn off the
amplifier. This detection circuit is totally immune to any sonic effect.
To indicate that the amplifier has been turned off by the protection circuit, a red Led will be
displayed on the front panel.
When the source of DC offset is suppressed, turn ON the amplifier again.
6.2 MAINTENANCE
The GOLDMUND Telos 3500 amplifier usually requires no maintenance.
To clean your Telos 3500 surface, use only a soft, clean, dry or slightly damp cloth.
Avoid using domestic cleaning products and abrasive or harsh cleansers (e.g. products
containing sodium carbonate).
All enquires relating to product servicing and operation should be referred to the local
authorized retailer supplying and supporting your Goldmund equipment.
