installed anywhere. Adequate space should
be left around the power supply and mains

Installation:
Please ensure that the equipment you are
connecting to the Bantam Stealth meets the
specifications in the diagrams on this page.
Then connect your audio equipment as
shown.
Turn the volume down on your audio source
and press the On/Off button on the front of
the Bantam Stealth to start playing music.
The LED should now light up.
Gradually increase the volume while playing
music until you reach your desired listening
level.
Tips:
Do not connect the speaker output terminals
to each other, or to ground. This will cause
the Amplifier to go in to self protection mode.
Its not essential to put the amplifier in to
standby mode by pressing the On/Off button
when you aren't using it. The Bantam Stealth
will automatically enter a low power mode a
few moments after you have stopped playing
music.
The standby feature is useful for muting the
sound and we do recommend putting it in to
standby mode when you are connecting up
the system.
