1.3 AMPLIFIER LOCATION & COOLING
The GOLDMUND TELOS 1000 NextGen amplifier, as all high quality amplifiers generates
a significant amount of heat when driven at high levels and must be vented properly. It is
mandatory to allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. Do not put temperature sensitive
equipment on top of the amplifier.
Due to its weight, and to maximize the effect of the built-in "Mechanical Grounding"
construction, the TELOS 1000 NextGen is better located on the floor. Other very strong
supports can be used if they offer rigid transmission to the floor.
The TELOS 1000 NextGen is built on four very hard conical feet to ensure proper vibration
transmission to the amplifier support. This evacuates all detrimental vibrations inside the
amplifier, following the famous GOLDMUND "Mechanical Grounding" principle.
If you use more than one TELOS 1000 NextGen at any location, you may decide to stack
them. Be careful that the conical feet of the top amp are inserted properly on the top of the
steel bars of the amplifier located below. You may stack up to 3 amps provided extra care
is taken to ensure proper air circulation vents the rear heat-sinks.
Depending on the flatness of the surface where the amplifier will be located, you will adjust
the four round flat feet of the amplifier to allow full contact of the points with the support.
