Installation
Unpacking
The Audiant 80i is supplied with the following accessories:
• Remote control
• 2 x AAA batteries
• Mains lead
• USB cable
• This manual
We recommend you retain the packaging for reuse in case you need to transport the unit at a later date.
Placement
Your Audiant 80i integrated amplifier should generally be placed close to your primary source component,
keeping interconnect cabling short.
Position all other components of your system close enough to your 80i to avoid having to stretch or extend
any of the interconnect cables.
Ventilation Requirements
Your Audiant 80i requires dissipating considerable power in the form of heat. It should be placed in a
position that does not restrict the airflow around it.
Allow at least 80mm (3 inches) above and to each side of the unit and mount the Audiant 80i on a flat
surface for air circulation to allow heat to dissipate.
Do not
place directly onto a carpeted surface as it will reduce air circulation and the heat will not dissipate
as intended.
It the device is used in a cabinet, air must be able to flow through. An enclosed cabinet will severely restrict
heat dissipation.
Ensure that nothing is placed above or below the amplifier that might block or restrict the vents.
If the Audiant 80i has inadequate ventilation and/or is played very enthusiastically for a period of time, its
temperature may rise above the designated operating level and the over-temperature protection will trip
(see Protection System section).
Other Devices
Ideally, your Audiant 80i integrated amplifier should not be located directly above or adjacent to other heat-
producing products such as radiators, other power amplifiers, etc. If multiple amplifiers are being used and
space is restricted, placing them side by side is preferable to stacking.
Do not
place another device directly on top of the Audiant 80i, it will restrict heat dissipation and prevent
the heatsink from operating as designed.
It is advisable to position your Audiant 80i away from (and if possible, connected to a power socket on a
different circuit from) powerful electrical or electronic products such as TV sets, computers, cookers, fridges
etc. This will prevent the possibility of the strong electrical and electromagnetic emissions or interference
given off by such devices adversely affecting the performance of your amplifier.
USB Audio Driver
The USB input allows connection to a computer and supports high resolution asynchronous USB Audio up
to 24-bit/96kHz.
Note: Using the asynchronous USB input with Windows operating systems requires installation of a USB
Audio driver. Instructions on how to download and install the driver can be found on the Perreaux website
(http://www.perreaux.com/support/).
Mac users using OSX 10.6.3 or above do not need to install USB Audio drivers. If using an earlier version of
OSX please upgrade to 10.6.3 or later.
