4 Installation and connection
Important
·
For connecting or removing the EPS to the mother unit, the EPS
and the mother unit must be switched off to prevent damage to
both devices.
·
Please make sure that all cables are in absolute best conditions!
Broken shields or shorted cables could damage both devices.
4.1 Placement
Important
·
Place the EPS right beside or at least 20 cm above/below of the
mother unit.
·
It is recommended to place the EPS into a high quality rack or onto a
stable table.
·
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
·
Do not cover the ventilation slots.
·
Do not place the EPS in close range to heat sources like radiators.
·
Do not place the EPS on top of other units, especially not on top of
power amplifiers, pre amplifiers or similar that produce heat. Both
units could suffer damage from thermal overload.
·
Do not use the unit in places where it is exposed to vibrations.
·
Do not place the unit close to loudspeakers or into the corner of a
room where it is exposed to high levels of sonic energy, which might
reduce the sound quality of the unit.
