PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BEFORE 
OPERATING YOUR NEW AMPLIFIER.

The PLINIUS SA-Reference Power Amplifier can be operated in mono mode delivering 
up to 1000 watts into 8 ohms.  This amplifier is also capable of a very large peak 
current delivery.

The PLINIUS SA-Reference Power Amplifier operates in Class A.  It is capable of 
generating temperatures that could have an adverse effect on other equipment, 
furniture etc.  

DO NOT

 leave flammable material on the amplifier whilst running, as this 

could pose a serious fire risk.

The PLINIUS SA-Reference Power Amplifier is of direct-coupled design, and offers no 
protection from preamplifiers that have a high DC component at their outputs. 

This amplifier operates at hazardous voltage levels.  Any work requiring removal of the 
lid or base of this amplifier must be referred to a suitably qualified and experienced 
service technician.

DO NOT 

attempt to connect any input of this amplifier to it’s own outputs. 

DO NOT 

earth any output terminal or connect any of these terminals together without 

following the instructions in this manual or seeking qualified assistance.

DO NOT

 place this amplifier in any position where liquids or any foreign material may 

accidentally enter it.

DO NOT

 connect any voltage source, short circuit, earth/ground or appliance (other 

than suitable high fidelity loudspeakers) to the amplifier output terminals.

Some preamplifiers, processors, CD players’ etc. produce large switching pulses when 
switched on causing a loud click through the loudspeakers.  For this reason, turn on 
all other equipment in your system before turning on your PLINIUS SA-Reference, or 
ensure that the amplifier is in MUTE.  You will not experience this phenomenon with 
PLINIUS Preamplifiers.
