- Page 2 Series, a new line of products designed by Symphonic Line in Germany, and build here in the US. When we created Odyssey, we knew that we had something very special. After all, the Odyssey designs were pure Symphonic Line’s, to be seen as the “little brothers” of the RG’s or Kraft Reference’s.
- Page 3 Before operating your Odyssey unit, please take the time and carefully read all safety instructions and the entire owner's manual. You'll be given not only information about safety concerns and technical specifications, but also advice as how to optimize your system sonically, as...
- Page 4 Countless hours were spent in developing an extremely sophisticated circuitry that is a “world class high end performer”, and due to its compact design, very inexpensive to manufacture. Your Odyssey product is very unique in this regard, and it provides the best possible value in audio today.

Page 5: Safety Instructions
Power Requirements: An audiophile quality power cord with a three - prong plug is included with your Odyssey unit. To prevent shock hazards, do not defeat the grounding plug. If you have to use extension cords, make sure that cord / or outlets have a sufficient current of at least 10 amps. -
Page 6: Quality Information
“this is simply the nature of the (electrical) beast”, one can easily see why quality control becomes even more important. This is why we at Odyssey Designs see the quality control aspect as being so important. From the very beginning, we made sure that all of our designs and parts are proven and reliable. - Page 7 1. Your Odyssey unit can be installed on a shelf, table, or equipment stand. Since the Tempest weighs in at around 35 lbs. and the Stratos at around 50 lbs, please check the strength of your surface material. The more stable and sturdier your surface is, the better resonances and vibrations are controlled, which also results in better performance of your stereo system.

Every single audio and video system, Odyssey or other brands, benefit from these simple steps, some of which are actually free and very effective. A little attention...
- Page 15 To realize ultimate performance of your audio system, fine-tuned adjustments or "tweaking" should be considered. This can involve everything from simply setting up the equipment properly to using expensive system-enhancing products and acoustical room treatments. We will attempt to categorize by cost the various options and provide some basic advice on optimizing system performance.
- Page 16 Due to the extremely efficient design of our heat sinks, there is no need to be concerned about any large ventilation areas around the units. Both, the various Stratos models and the Tempest Pre-Amplifier can be situated in tight areas, but should be kept away from excessively humid areas, as in the case with all audio / video components.
- Page 17 De-coupling devices: Cones, spikes, or dampers nearly always help to improve the performance of components and the sound of your system. This is why all Odyssey products are outfitted with $30 Audio Selection™ dampers as standard equipment, instead of cheaper glued-on rubber feet that are ineffective.
