Installation Instructions
Unboxing the Amplifier
Please open the packing box and check whether the equipment has been damaged during transportation. If damage is found, please notify the transportation company
immediately. Only you can make a claim for shipping damage. Crown is happy to help as needed. Keep the shipping carton and use it as evidence of damage to the
equipment when the shipper checks it.
In addition, we recommend that you save all packaging materials for future transportation of the device. Do not transport equipment without factory packaging. You will need
the following items to install the amplifier (not provided):
• Input cable
• Output cable
• Bracket used to support the amplifier when mounted in the rack or a stable table to place the amplifier on (the amplifier should always be supported from the bottom)
WARNING: Before you start installing the amplifier, make sure you have read and followed the important safety
instructions listed at the beginning of this manual.
WARNING: Before starting the installation, make sure you have disconnected the amplifier from the power supply, set
the power switch of the amplifier to the "off" position, and adjusted all volumes to the lowest (fully counterclockwise)
position.
WARNING!!! Do not place equipment that can be damaged by strong magnetic fields near the amplifier, as it may
generate unwanted noise if too close to other equipment.
Installing the Amplifier

Proper Cooling
Air flow is front to back as illustrated in Figure 2 . If using equipment racks, we recommend placing
sensitive equipment at least 20 cm away from the amplifier. When using an equipment rack,be sure to
use empty panels to close all open spaces. Do not block the front and rear vents. Leave at least 5.1 cm of
space between the brackets on both sides and the amplifier, and at least 10.2 cm between the brackets on
the back and the amplifier space.
