Placement and Cabling 

Placement 

TAURUS should be placed on a solid and stable surface with good ventilation. Do not 

install this product near any heat sources such as radiators or other product (such as 

amplifiers) that produce heat. Site the product so that its location or position does not in-

terfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, 

rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings, or placed in a built in in-

stallation such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ven-

tilation openings. 

 

 

Ventilation Requirement 

 

TAURUS dissipates up to 50 Watts of power during normal operation. It 

should be installed in a space with at least five inches of clearance above; 

one inch behind and on both sides of its enclosure to provide adequate 

ventilation. Avoid placing it directly above other equipment that produces 

heat.

 

 

 

Check Your AC Mains Voltage 

TAURUS is shipped with its mains voltage preset for operation in the destination country. 

The mains voltage setting is written on the back of the unit, left besides power cord socket. 

Mains voltage setting is not intended to be changed by the user. If it needs to be changed, 

contact your dealer or AURALiC.   

 

The power cord has a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for groun-

ding). It will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug 

fully into the outlet, contact your dealer or AURALiC. Do not defeat the safety purpose of 

the grounded type plug.   

 

 

 

TAURUS MUST BE USED WITH CORRECT   

MAINS VOLTAGE AND PROPERLY EARTHED!
