PACKAGE CONTENTS
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
Unpacking the Progression monoblock amplifier from the shipping box
Two adults are recommended for lifting the nearly 125-pound amplifier from the shipping box.
Position the shipping box so that one person stands at the front of the amplifier and one person
stands at the back of the amplifier. Both people need to grab a pair of the cardboard handle
cutouts (one pair located at the front of the amplifier and one pair located at the back of the
amplifier) and simultaneously lift the amplifier straight up, out of the carton. Bend and lift with
your knees, not your back. Please move it to a location near the place where it will be installed
and remove the outer foam blocks and protective plastic covering. We recommend you remove
all jewelry including watches, rings and belts from your person to avoid damage to the exterior of
the amplifier during the removal and installation.
Installation requirements
The surface that will support the Progression monoblock amplifier must be capable of safely holding
the nearly 125-pound weight of each amplifier.
Adequate ventilation must be provided for the amplifier. There should be at least 3 inches of
clearance on each side of the amplifier and 3 inches of clearance at the top, and the bottom vents
of the amplifier must not be obstructed by thick carpet, dust, etc. We recommend that the amplifier
be installed in an open equipment rack or on amplifier stands to assure proper ventilation. The
amplifier may be installed in a closed cabinet or in an equipment closet, but the cabinet or closet must
be designed with substantial ventilation at top and bottom; active ventilation (i.e., powered fans) is
preferred. Do not place the amplifier directly on a carpeted floor.
For best possible sound quality and maximum output, we recommend you connect each pair of
Progression monoblock amplifiers to a dedicated 15-amp outlet.
If you need to return the amplifier for service
If you should need to send the Progression monoblock amplifier back to us for service, be sure
to use the original box and materials for shipment.
Before you ship the amplifier, unplug it from the wall and let it cool down for 6 hours. To protect
the finish during shipping, return the amplifier to its original plastic shipping wrap. Make sure the
amp is completely cool and has not been plugged in for 6 hours before you do this. Wrapping
the amplifier when it is warm will cause the plastic to leech into the amplifier’s surface and will
permanently damage the finish.
