We recommend—although this is not necessary for functionality—that you run the RNP for at least 5 min-
utes before using it in a critical application. This would allow all of the internal high-impedance circuit to
settle closer to their final values and also the RNP’s internal temperature to stabilize. At this point, the
RNP is ready to rock!
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
The RNP is a class-A circuit that runs at about 6 times the quiescent current of
“typical” class-A preamps. Given that this extra power consumption is squeezed
into a small box, the RNP definitely gets warm...particularly its extruded alu-
minum base . Make sure that there’s plenty of ambient airflow around the unit
and it’ll happily amplify all day long.
