9 Ventilation 

 

The 

ICON Pre

 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, standing on its four feet. Adequate ventilation extends the 

trouble free life of the 

ICON Pre

. The suggested minimum space for operating the 

ICON Pre

 is 70 cm in width, 60 cm 

in depth, and 60 cm in height. Always allow air to flow through the ventilation holes on the bottom of the amplifier and 
a means for the warm air to escape at the top, refer to figure 9
