Important
The Exon 3 is a unique amplifier where ingenious design has allowed an
unusually high output from an exceptionally small size. Listen to its superlative
sound quality and you will understand why we say “unique”.
The Exon 3 can comfortably produce power levels in excess of 200 watts and
therefore good ventilation MUST be provided around the case top and bottom.
We advise the following.
1.
Do not stack the amplifiers on top of each other.
2.
If Exons need to be stacked vertically use a specialist non enclosed
equipment stand. Keep the Exons away from other heat producing equipment.
3.
Alternatively place the amplifiers side by side with at least 40mm between
them.
4.
Do not place the Exon 3 on any carpet, bedding or any other material that
will obstruct the heat sink fins underneath.
5.
Keep the Exons away from any heat source such as radiators, fires, heaters
or sunlight.
When in use the case will feel warm to the touch. This is normal. If the Exons
are used with insufficient air circulation and the case temperature rises too
high (approximately 60
o
C) the amplifier will automatically switch off and will
reset once a correct working temperature is reached.
If the Exon 3 is required to be used in extreme applications such as very low
impedance loudspeakers or P.A. applications, additional fan cooling may be
used and/or the amplifiers stacked on their sides (or upside down) to allow the
heat sinks underneath to work more efficiently.
