IMPORTANT NOTICE
I.
It is imperative that the Dreadnaught D be connected to a ground via its three wire AC power
cord. It is important that the AC power outlet, which the Dreadnaught D is plugged into, is
actually grounded. Failure to do so will severely compromise the performance, reliability and
safety of use of the Dreadnaught D.
III.
Ventilation is an important issue when placing the Dreadnaught D in a system. Make certain that
the Dreadnaught D is placed in a well-ventilated area or rack unit.
IIII.
Please take note that some powerline conditioners defeat the AC power ground on their outlets.
If the intention is to plug the Dreadnaught D into a line conditioner, check with your dealer to
make certain that the particular conditioner that is intended for use DOES NOT DEFEAT THE AC
GROUND on its AC outlets. Only the highest powered line conditioners should be considered for
use with the Dreadnaught D. Otherwise, the amplifier’s power output may be compromised.
IV.
DO NOT remove any cover panels from the Dreadnaught D, as there are no user serviceable
components inside. Refer servicing and updating to qualified service personnel only.
V.
Endcaps on all unused RCA inputs will improve the sound quality and may reduce the susceptibility
to RF induced anomalies.
VI.
It is imperative that the Dreadnaught D be operated in a well ventilated environment and the
immediate external temperature be maintained as specified in Appendix B of this manual.
External cooling fans may be required in some cases. Do not stack any equipment directly above
or below the Dreadnaught D, to protect it from overheating, as well as the continued functionality
of any equipment near and around it.
