To ensure years of enjoyment from your NADY AUDIO 3WA-1700 amplifier, please read and understand this manual thoroughly
before using the unit.

INSPECTION

Your 3WA-1700 amplifier was carefully packed at the factory in packaging designed to protect the units in shipment. Before installing
and using your unit, carefully examine the packaging and all contents for any signs of physical damage that may have occurred in
transit.

(Note: Nady Systems is not responsible for shipping damage. If the unit is damaged, do not return to us, but notify your dealer and
the shipping company immediately to make a claim. Such claims must be made by the consignee in a timely manner.)

CONTENTS

• Instruction manual

• 3WA-1700 (verify that the unit’s serial number is same as shown on shipping carton)

• AC Power cord

• Warranty Card

RACK MOUNTING

The 3WA-1700 amplifier Is designed for standard 19" rack mounting as well as “stack” mounting without a cabinet. Use 4 screws and
washers for mounting to the front rack rails. It is also a good idea to support the amps also in the rear, especially for mobile use
where the amps will be subjected to shocks.

AMPLIFIER COOLING

Also pay close attention to the cooling requirements. Never block the front, rear or side air vents. For best results, in high output
power applications, you should augment the amplifier’s air flow with a rack cooling system.
