Unpacking and Placement

We have taken all precautions, and made every effort to make the Delta PRE
simple and straightforward to install and use. Still, we recommend that you
take a few minutes to review this manual. Even if you are having the preamp/
processor professionally installed, you will want to know how to efficiently
operate it to its potential.
The Delta PRE menu system includes features that allow a great deal of fine-
tuning. Still, we have no way to evaluate outside variables such as the acoustical
characteristics of your listening space and the associated equipment of your
audio system. Therefore, it is up to you to make the final audio adjustments for
the optimum performance of your system.
Carefully unpack the Delta PRE Stereo Preamp/Processor. Do not forget to
remove all accessories from the carton.
Keep all packing materials. Transporting the Delta PRE without
using the packaging specifically designed for it may result in
damage that is not covered under the warranty.
Before installing your Delta PRE, be sure to read the following placement
suggestions.
• Do not place the Delta PRE directly on the top surface of a
conventional power amplifier or any other heat source. Also keep the
unit out of direct sunlight.
• Place the Delta PRE so that the IR window on the front panel is
clearly visible and not blocked.
• Position the Delta PRE in a central and convenient location for
both visibility and use. The preamp/processor is the hub for all other
component connections and generally your primary interaction point.
In addition, by placing the unit close to the other system components,
you minimize the cable lengths and hence reduce the amount of noise
that is introduced into the system through the cabling.
• Leave adequate clearance behind the Delta PRE for the AC cord and
connecting cables. We suggest six inches (15 cm) of free space to allow
cables sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
• Allow at least three inches (7.5 cm) of clearance above and to each
side of the Delta PRE for ventilation. Do not obstruct the area
around the unit so that excess heat can dissipate through normal air
circulation.
Obey all placement considerations. Not obeying the
placement considerations may result in damage that is not
covered under the warranty.
