Installation Guidelines - Monster Power Signature MPA5150 Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Before placing, connecting and using your new Monster Home Theater Music Reference amplifier, please read
through these guidelines to familiarize yourself with the installation specifications.
HEAT DISSIPATION
The Monster Amp is a high current design, and like all amplifiers, will produce heat under normal
operating conditions.
To maintain proper operation of your amplifiers:
DO NOT stack your amplifiers in an enclosed environment such as closets or completely enclosed audio racks.
When placing your amplifier into your audio system allow 3" of clearance on the top and 2" of clearance
on each side to help disperse the heat. Each amplifier should be placed on a separate shelf with space above
and to the sides.
If the amplifiers are required to be mounted in an enclosed environment, the use of a fan is recommended
to remove excess heat from the enclosure.
DO NOT place amplifiers directly on carpeted floors.
An amplifier placed on carpeting restricts the flow of air from the bottom and causes the amplifier to heat
up prematurely. This may also pose a safety hazard because the carpeting may come in direct contact with
the amplifier's chassis which is a source of heat.
AC POWER LINE
The Monster Amplifiers are designed to operate from a 120V 60Hz AC power line. Connection is made through
a heavy duty grounded power cord. For safety and proper operation DO NOT remove the ground pin, cut the power
cord or use a ground lifting adapter.
For proper operation and the best possible sound, Monster recommends using a Monster Power Reference Home
Theater PowerCenter to deliver clean AC power to protect your Monster Amplifiers from surges and spikes
on the AC power line. Consult your Monster dealer for information or visit www.monsterpower.com.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The Monster Amplifiers are designed to operate from a 110V 60Hz AC power line. Connection is made through a
heavy-duty grounded power cord. For safety and proper operation DO NOT remove the ground pin, cut the power
cord or use a ground lifting, 3-to-2 prong adapter.
Speaker cables for the Front Left, Center and Front Right should be of equal length to maintain best delivery
of sound. The Rear Right and Rear Left should also be of equal length even if the cables runs allow one
to be shorted then the other.
OUTPUT METERS
One the major features of the Monster Home Theater Music Reference Amplifiers are the laboratory-grade digital
meters. The meters show the current output of the channel indicated in watts.
