■ Place the DPA-1 where it will not be exposed to moisture or direct sunlight. ■ Install the DPA-1 where it can get some ventilation. The amplifier doesn’t produce a great deal of heat, but using it in a sealed enclosure with no airflow could have long-term negative effects on the unit's circuitry.

Start by connecting the preamp to the DPA-1. In every case, grasp the cables by the plugs/connectors, not by the cable itself, otherwise you could damage the cable or the jack panel of the DPA-1 or your preamp. If your preamp offers XLR output, we strongly recommend you use XLR cables to connect the preamp to the DPA-1.

Powering Up the Amplifier Once all connections are made, switch your preamp on and allow it to warm up for 30 seconds.
