Heat Dissipation
The ambient temperature near the product should not exceed 40° Celsius (104°
Fahrenheit). When rack mounting, adjacent devices can be rack mounted in
proximity to the unit if this temperature is not exceeded. Otherwise, allow a 1RU
(1.75”/44.45mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation. For table top
operation, in warm environments, allow an inch of space above and below the unit
for air circulation.
Sympathetic Vibration
Sympathetic vibration from other equipment (cables, etc.) in the rack may be
serious enough to interfere with the unit’s sound quality. If you experience
sympathetic vibrations, use thin card stock, felt, foam, or weather-stripping
between the vibrating surfaces. Tie loose cables securely with cable ties.
Mechanical
The sturdy chassis is very shallow from front to back making it very stable when
used with its table stand. It can be tilted forward or backward for viewing, if
necessary. The weight of internal components is distributed fairly evenly around the
unit.
Electrical Interference
Be careful to avoid mismatched cable types and other similar causes of undesired
reflections in digital signal systems. If severe enough, such reflections can result in
corruption of the digital data stream. As with any audio equipment, maximum
immunity from electrical interference requires the use of shielded cable; however,
satisfactory results can sometimes be obtained without it. The internal circuitry
ground is connected to the chassis.
Power
The unit connects to the AC mains power source (14W, 100 to 240 VAC, ±10%,
Important
:
The heat generated by the digital circuitry, power supplies, and
other components is vented by slots in the back of the unit.
Therefore, as a safety precaution, you must allow proper
ventilation on these surfaces.
