PLACEMENT GUIDELINES FOR YOUR A 23
Power amplifiers are usually heavier and generate more heat than other components. To avoid
damage to the A 23 or other equipment and to reduce risk of fire, you must follow these guidelines:
• Place the A 23 on a separate shelf that will adequately support its weight.
• Keep it away from heat sources such as air ducts or radiators.
• Avoid placing it on carpeting or another material that might obstruct airflow into the
openings in the chassis bottom.
• Leave at least 3” of space around both sides and the top. The bottom clearance can be a little
less. This helps facilitate heat dissipation.
• Do not block the front of the A 23 behind closed cabinet doors during use.
• Do not stack the A 23 with other components inside a cabinet unless you use a fan to
circulate and exhaust the warm air that builds up between them.
Rack Mounting Your Parasound A 23
If you plan to mount the A 23 into a standard 19” wide equipment rack, you will need to purchase
the optional Parasound HRA 2 Rack Mount Adapter. With its four feet removed, the A 23 chassis
and front panel height occupies two rack spaces (3-1/2” or 88mm). Please call your Parasound
dealer or Parasound Technical Services if you need additional advice about rack mounting the A 23.
A standard single rack space allows 1- 3/4 vertical inches in a 19-inch wide equipment rack. This
measurement standard was developed by the EIA (Electronic Industries Association) so
manufacturers of electronic components and equipment racks could build products in
standardized heights that would fit in a uniform space.
