This manual will explain the proper installation and use of Ashly amplifiers
and their controls. Please read it carefully and refer to it in case of
difficulty.
UNPACKING
As part of our system of quality control, every Ashly product is carefully
inspected before leaving the factory to ensure flawless appearance. After un¬

INSTALLATION
Ashly MOS-FET amplifiers are designed to mount in a standard ly" equipiacnf
rack. Since forced-air cooling is employed, it is not necessary to leave any
ventilation space above or below the amplifier. This permits efficient use of
rack space and multiple stacking of amplifiers. The only precaution to
observe is to leave the front panel air inlets and rear panel fan outlet
unobstructed.
The use of four front panel screws is recommended to evenly distribute the
stress on the panel. The amplifier chassis is sufficiently strong to support
itself by the front panel alone in permanent installations or where the rack
is moved only occasionally. For amplifiers which will spend much of their
time in transit, it is suggested that some method of rear support be used.
Connect all amplifiers to a 3-wire grounded outlet supplying 120 Volts 50-60Hz
Maximum power consumption is 600 watts. Maximum current required is 5 amps.
