Placement
Before you install an Evolution e Series amplifier into your system, please follow the
guidelines in this section to select a location for your component. This will facilitate a clean,
trouble-free installation.
Place the amplifier on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humidity, or
moisture. The ventilation slots on the top of all Evolution e Series amplifiers and the
ventilation slots on the back of the Evolution 302e and 400e amplifiers must be
unobstructed at all time during operation. Do not place flammable material on top or
beneath the component.
If you place the amplifier in a closed cabinet, you may need to modify shelf spacing or use
small fans to increase ventilation. When the front and back of a cabinet are open, the air
space between the chassis and shelf must be unobstructed.
Place the amplifier(s) as close to the loudspeakers as possible. While Evolution CAST and
balanced technology permits long interconnect cable lengths, keep loudspeaker cable
lengths to a minimum.
AC Power Guidelines
The Evolution e Series amplifier requires a dedicated AC circuit rated at a minimum of 20
amps. Do not use extension cords, multiple AC adapters, or AC power strips.
Note
Do not operate the Evolution e Series amplifiers with any device designed to alter or condition
AC power.
