INITIAL SETUP
Placement guidelines
To avoid interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft. (0.3 – 0.9 m) away from
your amplifier.
• Install the amplifier indoors.
• Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.
• Place the amplifier on a shelf or mount it on a wall.
• For optimum performance, place the amplifier in a well-ventilated area.
CAUTIONS:
• Place the amplifier in an area where the maximum ambient temperature is less than
104°F (40°C).
• Place the amplifier with a minimum of 3 in. (75 mm) of ventilation around it.
• Do NOT place the amplifier in a completely enclosed area. Doing so may result in poor
performance.
• Do NOT stack multiple amplifiers on top of each other. If using multiple amplifiers,
place them side by side.
Note: To mount the amplifier on a wall, see page 28.
Speaker connection guidelines
• Use only unpowered speakers. Do NOT connect any make or model of powered
speakers. Doing so may cause damage to the equipment.
• One pair of speakers requires 4 ohm minimum each.
• Two pairs of speakers require 8 ohm minimum each.
