1. Installation Tips In case of installation in cabinet or rack ensure the ventilation requirements The depth of the unit is 277 mm The dimensions in height is 2 units rack 89 mm Do not position audio high gain equipment like preamplifiers or recorders just above or below the amplifier Despite the protections of the radiation device magnetic fields can induce hum in unscreened ancillary equipment Do not obstruct the inputs and exits of air for the cooling of the amplifier Any impediment to the free movement of air in the amplifier may cause a failure not covered by the warranty The operation of the amplifier in an environment where the air is confined or polluted requires frequent internal cleaning Smoke and dust particles accumulated inside the appliance can cause failures not covered by the warranty This cleaning should be done by qualified personnel Before any work on the wiring be sure to turn the control knobs fully counterclockwise and turn off the amplifier Only use good quality speaker cables unshielded Use good quality audio cables shielded for inputs A balanced or unbalanced type connection is feasible Connectors Available on FORCE 700 input connectors are balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA Cables and fact sheets related to connecting to other equipment must therefore be of the same nature Are listed below types of cords found in trade with their electrical connection diagram Balanced cables acid2.
