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.
