Set up

Thank you for purchasing the Vera Audio P400/1000. We have strived to design and build a power
amplifier with very low noise, high output power combined with extremely low distortion, multiple
practical functions, high security, a build quality that will ensure a long life span, and with a nice
looking chassis. We sincerely hope you will be satisfied with the product.

The P400/1000 comes in two cardboard boxes in order to ensure safe transport. The easiest way to
remove the unit is by turning the boxes upside down and lift off the boxes. That way, the amplifier
will be resting on protective foam which can be removed at the end.

Packed with your P400/1000 you will find:
One detachable mains power cord, 1.5 m length in 3x1.5mm² dimension.

Power

Attach the power cord. Make sure it’s properly in place. The supplied
power cable shall go as far in as the red line in the picture. The
amplifier must only be connected to a 230V grid. The device is
protected with a 10A fuse.

Cooling and placement

The P400/1000 has air vents on the sides for fans. The air escapes through openings underneath at
the front of the cabinet. Allow a minimum of 3 cm free air passage on both sides and ensure that the
holes on the bottom are not blocked to allow for proper air ventilation.
