4 Installation and power supply
Important
· For connecting or removing loudspeakers and/or the pre amplifier your AMP VII 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
The compact design of the AMP VII requires the unobstructed heat dissipation during operation. Please mind the following security notes:
Important
· Please find a place for your Audionet AMP VII that is sufficiently
ventilated to allow the heat to dissipate.
· Do not cover the ventilation slots of the unit.
· Please make sure that the microprocessor controlled fan units on the
bottom side of the AMP VII are able to intake cool air without any
obstruction. Particularly avoid placing the unit onto soft surfaces like
furry carpets or similar squashy materials the AMP VII might sink in.
· We strongly advise you not to operate the AMP VII inside a confined
space, e.g. small cabinets.
· Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
· Do not place the AMP VII in close range to heat sources like radia-
tors or fan heaters.
· Due to the heavy weight of the AMP VII, please check the carrying
capacity of your rack or table before placing the unit onto it.
4.2 Mains connection
Both mains inputs 23 * and 25 are on the back panel of the AMP VII.
To connect the unit to mains use the included cords. If you prefer to use
