Amplifier Location & Cooling - Goldmund TELOS 500 User Manual

2 AMPLIFIER LOCATION & COOLING
The GOLDMUND TELOS 500 amplifier as all high quality amplifiers generates a large
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 500 is better located on the floor. Other very strong supports can
be used if they offer rigid transmission to the floor.
The TELOS 500 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 500 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.
