MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER
It is best to mount the amplifier in a location that allows air to freely
circulate around it and allows access to the end panel controls for
adjustments. Although both thermal and overload protection are
built in, if the amplifier overheats it will reduce its power output to
maintain operation.
Find a dry, clear and well-ventilated area in which to mount
the amplifier. The area should be free of any obstructions that
might block air flow to the amplifier. It should be protected from
exposure to direct sunlight.
You may use the amplifier as a template to mark the four screw
locations with a felt-tip marker. Set the amplifier aside before drilling
the mounting pilot holes. Use caution to make certain there are no
objects behind the installation area that may become damaged by
drilling. Make sure the amplifier has at least two inches of clearance
above the heatsink to allow for heat dissipation.
