Unpacking and Inspection
Your Groove Tubes Glory Compressor was carefully packed at the
factory, and the shipping carton was designed to protect the
unit during shipping. Please retain this container in the
unlikely event that you need to return your Glory for
servicing.
The shipping carton should contain the following items:
• Glory Variable Transconductance Compressor
• This instruction manual
• Power cable
• Groove Tubes Warranty card
• Rack mounting hardware (two pieces plus parts to attach them
to the Glory when rack mounting).
NOTE: It is important to register your purchase; if you
have not already filled out your warranty card and
mailed it back to Groove Tubes, please take the time to
do so now.
Installing in a Rack
The Glory may be simply set on a table, or installed in a
standard 19” audio equipment rack. While the rack mounting
holes are integral to the front panel, the Glory is unusually
deep and heavy, so extra support must be provided for the rear
of the unit. Before the Glory is installed in a rack, we
recommend that you attach the reinforcing rack kit to handle
the weight of the unit and provide ventilation room. The rail
kit requires one free rack space above the Glory.
NOTE Since the vacuum tubes in the Glory generate a
certain amount of heat, make sure adequate ventilation
is provided in the rack.
To attach the rack kit:
The reinforcing rails should be attached to the sides of the
unit. They are screwed to the sides of the preamp and extend
to above the front panel. Standard rack screws are then used
to fasten both the Front Panel and the Rack Kit to the Rack
Rails panels.
