Installation
In your System
While the Reference Phono 10 does not dissipate an unusual amount of
heat, it is important that it be provided with reasonable airow to assure
long, trouble-free operation. In addition, the following installation guidelines
will help insure maximum sonic performance as well as reliable service:
Operate unit in upright and horizontal position, prefer-ably on solid, non-
metal shelving.
Do not stack the preamp on top of a power amplier: not only could this
cause overheating, but hum may be introduced into the preamp from the
proximity of the amplier’s power transformer.
Do not stack components or other objects directly on top of the Reference
Phono 10.
Do not place or operate your preamp on a soft or irregular surface such as
a rug. This will prevent proper ventilation.
Do not operate your preamp without the top and bottom covers installed.
These are required both for safety as well as shielding from interference
(except in service operations by qualied personnel).
Ensure a minimum of 8-10” clearance above the unit when placed on
shelving.
