LOCATION, ASSEMBLY AND VENTILATION
Vida series devices have a 19" rack format (2RU).
It is very important not to enclose the amplifier or expose it to extreme temperatures as it
generates heat.
It is also necessary to promote the passage of fresh air through the
ventilation holes of the chassis
. The ventilation system forces the air flow, front to back,
through the unit.
If multiple products are installed in the same rack or in a cabinet with closed doors, it is
highly recommended to install fans in their upper and
lower ends for a forced airflow from the bottom up. This upward air flow will help to
dissipate the heat generated inside.
It is advisable
not to place power amplifiers under other appliances
, but upon
these ones, leaving at least one rack unit off between each device and installed above and
below it in the rack frame.

MAINS CONNECTION
VIDA operates on alternating voltages from 90 to 264V and 47 to 63Hz. This device is
equipped with an oversized power supply capable of adapting without any type of
adjustment to the mains voltage of any country in the world.
On the
rear panel
, next to the IEC power connector, there is an
On/Off
switch
for the unit.
On the
front panel
there is button
ON/SLEEP
with its LED indicator, that illuminates when
the unit is in operation, and soft-blinks when it is in sleep mode.
Do not allow the mains cable to run parallel to the shielded
cables carrying the
audio signal, as this may cause humming.
