USE & PLACEMENT
The Consonance a120 should be placed on a flat, hard surface for proper cooling. The
amplifier performs best after being switched on for 1 hour for heating up. A certain space is
required for air circulation above and below the amplifier. The amplifier must never be
placed on a carpet or similar surface that obstructs air circulation through the component.
Nor must it be covered while in use or placed on a narrow shelf or in another confined
space.
The amplifier will automatically switch itself off if overheated.
CLEANING
The top cover and knobs are made of brushed and anodized aluminum, while the front
panel is made of solid, powder coated aluminum. Fingerprints or stains on the front panel,
knobs or top cover can be removed with a cloth moistened with warm water.
