4 Installation and power supply

Important

· For connecting or removing loudspeakers and/or the pre ampli-

fier your AMP must be switched off to prevent damage to the
amplifier or the connected units.

· Please make sure that all cables are in absolute best conditions!

Broken shields or short-cut loudspeaker cables could damage
speakers and/or amplifiers.

4.1 Placement

Your Audionet AMP has the perfect format for placing it right beside
your speakers. Alternatively, two Audionet AMPs sitting side by side
have exactly the standard width of 43 cm. It is recommended to place the
AMP into a high quality rack or onto a stable table.

Important

· Please find a place for your Audionet AMP that is sufficiently venti-

lated to allow the heat to dissipate.

· Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.

· Do not place the AMP in close range to heat sources like radiators.

· Do not cover the ventilation slots of the unit.

4.2 Mains connection

The mains input 8 * is on the back panel of the AMP. To connect the unit
to mains use the included mains cord. If you prefer to use a different
power cord make sure that it meets the specifications for your home
country.

Important

· The electrical specifications of your home country must meet the

electrical specifications printed onto the back panel.
