  • Page 13 Speaker System Damage The d:24 power amps provide high power output that might be dangerous for human beings as well as for the connected speaker systems. High output voltages can damage or even destroy the connected speaker systems, especially, when the d:24 amplifier outputs are bridged by the user.

  • Page 14: Installation & Common Caveats

    3 INSTALLATION & COMMON CAVEATS Although we kept the use of the d:24 as simple and intuitive as pos- sible, there are a few things we consider to be important enough to be mentioned in this manual. 3.1 Mounting The amplifier is three rack units (3RU) high and fits into a stan- dard EIA 19”...

  • Page 15: Air Flow And Thermal Management

    3.2 Air flow and thermal management The d:24 is a powerful amplifier. Due to the idle loss and the heat arising under heavy working conditions, it is necessary to cool the circuits adequately. Therefore, the amp is equipped with three fans with an air flow direction “front-to-rear“.
  • Page 16 We strongly recommend to leave some space (e.g. 1RU) above and below each amplifier in the rack. Don’t place the d:24 near to heat sources, like blowers, stoves or any other heat radiating devices. We also highly recommend not to place the d:24 directly above or under other devices in racks! If the amplifier was not maintained correctly, all necessary repairs Should an amp module exceed the operating temperature, the temperature sensing circuits will mute the overheated channels.
