ocate the amplifier as close as possible to its final installation point.
Allow access to the rear panel for making connections.
The MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier is convection cooled,
eliminating the need for fan or forced-air cooling. When operating,
the chassis should have at least two (2) inches of air space around
the heatsink areas. Multiple chassis can be stacked vertically,
facilitating an upward flow of warm air currents throughout the
vertical heatsink areas. This upward flow must not be blocked or
recirculated around the chassis if proper cooling is to be
maintained.
Typical installations allow the amplifier to be rigidly coupled to a
support structure or floor via the included spiked coupling supports.
In carpeted installations, these supports provide excellent anchoring
from the amplifier chassis to the rigid floor or sub-floor below. If there
is concern about damage to the structure or floor’s finish, a coin can
be placed beneath each spiked coupling support. In installations
where the resonant properties of the supporting structure are poor,
the amplifier chassis can be loosely coupled to the supporting
structure via the compliant isolation interface pads. This will help to
attenuate the transfer of vibration or resonant energy from the
support structure to the amplifier chassis.

Please strictly follow the steps in order as outlined below
before operating your MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier.
11
Verify that the VOLTS AC input identified on the rear panel near
the AC input socket is the same as the AC mains voltage in your
area. If the voltage does not match, do
not
connect the
amplifier to AC power and contact your dealer immediately.
22
Verify that the AC MAINS CIRCUIT BREAKER is closed (green color
visible).
33
Install the AC Power Cable between the amplifier and your AC
mains outlet.
44
Verify that the circuit breakers for channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are
closed (no white area visible on each breaker).
Note:
Note:
If the amplifier is to be moved to another location, always
place the unit in Standby mode before disconnecting the AC power
cable from the AC mains wall outlet.
Never use the AC mains circuit breaker as a power switch to
connect or disconnect the amplifier from AC mains power.
