We recommend you retain the packaging for reuse in case you need to transport the unit at a later date.
Placement
Your Audiant DP32 DAC preamplifier 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 DP32 to avoid having to stretch or
extend any of the interconnect cables.
Ventilation Requirements
Your Audiant DP32 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 DP32 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 unit that might block or restrict the vents.
Other Devices
Ideally, your Audiant DP32 DAC preamplifier 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 DP32, it will restrict heat dissipation and prevent
the heat sink from operating as designed.
It is advisable to position your Audiant DP32 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.
