2.1 Unpacking Your Amplifier
Please unpack and inspect your amplifier for any damage that may have occurred
during transit. If damage is found, notify the transportation company immediately.
Only you can initiate a claim for shipping damage. We will be happy to help
as needed. Save the shipping carton as evidence of damage for the shipper’s
inspection.
We also recommend that you save all packing materials so you will have them if you
ever need to transport the unit. Never ship the unit without the factory pack.
WARNING:
Before you start to set up your amplifier, make sure you read and
observe the Important Safety Instructions found at the beginning of this manual.
2.2 Installing Your Amplifier
CAUTION:
Before you begin, make sure your amplifier is disconnected from the
power source and all level controls turned completely down (counterclockwise).
Note:
We recommend that any sensitive equipment be located at least 8 inches (20
cm) away from the amplifier.
To install the amplifier, you can use one of the following approaches:
• Rack mount the amplifier with the rack mounting kit, see Figure 2.2.2.
• Place a single amplifier on a surface with 12 inches of air space around
the unit for convection cooling. Rubber feet are included and can be
attached onto the underside of the chassis. For amplifier dimensions,
see Figure 2.2.1.
