Installation and Placement
Importance of proper ventilation
For placement of the amplifier, keep the following in mind:
• Make sure that air can circulate freely around the amplifier for adequate ventilation� There are vents on the top, bottom,
and sides�
• Do not cover or block amplifier vents�
• Do not enclose amplifier in a small space, such as a cabinet�
• Make sure the chassis is protected from heat and kept away from direct heat sources, such as heating vents and
radiators�
Caution: Do not allow the chassis to exceed the maximum operating temperature of 40° C (104° F)� Be aware of condi-
tions in an enclosed rack that may increase the temperature above room-ambient conditions�
Note: If the amplifier becomes too hot, it will go into a thermal protection mode and mute all outputs�
Placing on a flat surface
The amplifier can be placed on a flat, stable surface like a table, counter, or shelf� Plastic feet are included with the
amplifier to protect the surface area, prevent the chassis from sliding, and allow heat to escape from the bottom vent�
Note: The included feet shall always be used when placing amplifier on a flat surface to ensure proper ventilation�
Installing the feet on the amplifier
The included feet are comprised of two parts: a foot and a pin�
1� Place the amplifier upside-down on a flat, level surface on a protective covering to avoid scratching the top of the
chassis�
2� Insert the four feet into the four holes on the bottom of the chassis�
3� Insert a pin into the hole on the foot�
4� Press down on the pin until the foot locks into place� Repeat for all four feet�
Stacking units
One amplifier can be stacked on top of another when there is limited space available on a table, counter, or shelf�
Note: The included feet always shall be used on both amplifiers when stacking them to ensure proper ventilation�
