LOCATION
The vacuum tubes used in the Arcus amplifer generate a signifcant
amount of heat during operation and good ventilation is of utmost
importance for safe, long-term operation.
Please follow the rules below to provide your amplifer with adequate
cooling:
•
Always install the amplifer on a fat, non heat sensitive
surface such as in a dediacted audio components rack.
•
Make sure the top and bottom ventilation holes aren’t
covered at any time. Never install the amplifer on a carpet,
textile or heat sensitive / fammable material.
•
Leave at least
8cm. (3”)
of free space between the top of the
amplifer and any shelf above it. This is extremely important
as the heat from the vacuum tubes needs to fow freely
outside the chassis.
•
Due to its weight, we recommend you install the power
supply unit in the lower section of your setup or directly on
the foor.
Now that you have selected the ideal location, you can proceed with
unpacking both units and installing them.
Note
The outside surface of the Arcus Amplifer has been
anodized for increased resistance against scuffs or
scratches, however rings or jewelry can damage it if you’re
not careful during installation.
