LED TUBE INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL) This Directed Audio amplifier has been designed with a custom heat sink that can accommodate two (optional—not supplied) VARAD LED tubes. 1. Before installing the LED tubes, remove and discard the mounting feet from the VARAD LED tubes. 2. Slide each LED tube assembly into your Directed Audio amplifier heat sink. Ensure that the LEDs are facing out for optimal visibility. The wires from the LED tube assembly should be on the signal input end of the amplifier. The
