INSTALLATION & VENTILATION
The
Elicit-
R
amplifier will work well on most surfaces, such as a shelf or a table,
provided there is sufficient air around the heat sinks to prevent overheating. If using
a turntable, avoid magnetic interference by positioning the amplifier as far away
from the turntable as the tonearm lead will allow. If possible, place it to the left of the
turntable. Keep other equipment away from the amplifier. Due to the layout of
Rega’s
amplifier circuit designs, they are virtually insusceptible to electro magnetic
interference, and by virtue of the case, emit practically no electro magnetic
radiation. However, placing any electronic equipment, such as sensitive phono
amplifiers close together may impair the performance of one or both items.
Never
stack other Hi-Fi components on top of the
Elicit-
R
.
The heat produced by the
Elicit-
R
amplifier is dispersed to the air via the heat sinks
mounted on either side of the product. Please ensure the side section is always
exposed to allow for sufficient airflow resulting in adequate cooling of the amplifier. If
the
Elicit-
R
is driven at high volume for a long period it will become quite warm. This
is entirely acceptable and as long as there is sufficient ventilation the amplifier will
continue to work normally.
Never
place the amplifier on carpets, rugs or bedding. Do
not force objects into the unit’s ventilation openings above or below the sides.
Do not touch the heat sinks They can become very hot.
