UNPACKING and SETTING UP 

 
CAUTION:  The  power  amp  909  is  very  heavy.  To  avoid  injuries  while  unpacking  it  is  suggested  that  only 
personnel with experiences in heavy weights unpack the units. 
CAUTION: The unit is shipped inside a plastic protective cover. Make sure that children do not play with it to 
avoid the danger of suffocation.

 

 
 
 
 
 

Unpacking

 

To avoid damaging the housing, please do not use pointed or sharp tools to open the box. 
Please  make  sure  that  the  content  of  the  box  is  complete.  If  something  is  missing  or  you 
notice  any  damage  while  unpacking,  do  not  hook  up  the  unit.  Instead,  contact  your 
authorized dealer. 

 
 
 
 
 

Content of the box

 

The box contains the following: 

 

 1 power amp 909 

 1 power cord 

 2 adapter plugs (XLR – RCA) 

 1 REMOTE cable 

 1 owner’s manual 

 
 
 
 
 

Packaging

 

We  recommend  keeping  the  original  packaging  material  in  case  of  a  move  or  future 
shipping. 

 
 
 
 
 

Setting up

 

Too  low  or  too  high  temperatures  may  cause  damage  inside  of  the  power  amp. 
Therefore  we  recommend  you  leave  the  unit  to  adapt  to  room  temperature,  before 
using it for the first time.

 

Carefully  remove  the  unit  from  its  packaging  and  set  it  up  in  an  appropriate  location.  To 
protect the power amp 909 from overheating make sure that the location offers sufficient air 
circulation around the unit. Also, avoid excessive exposure to sun, dust and humidity. 
Please make sure that your desired location for the power amp is stable enough to carry its 
weight. 
Ventilation ducts and openings in the housing serve to keep the unit cool. They must not be 
covered up with magazines, tablecloth, curtains etc. 

If  the  power  amp  has  to  be  operated  in  an  extremely  warm  environment  it  may  be 
necessary to supply additional ventilation. Avoid operating the unit in an excessively 
humid environment like bathrooms etc.
