Installation

In your System

While the Reference 10 does not dissipate an unusual amount of heat,
it is important that it be provided with reasonable airflow to assure long,
trouble-free operation. In addition, the following installation guidelines will
help insure maximum sonic performance as well as reliable service:
Operate unit in upright and horizontal position, prefer-ably on solid, non-
metal shelving.
Do not stack the preamp on top of a power amplifier: not only could this
cause overheating, but hum may be introduced into the preamp from the
proximity of the amplifier's power transformer.
Do not stack components or other objects directly on top of the Reference
10.
Do not place or operate your preamp on a soft or irregular surface such as
a rug. This will prevent proper ventilation.
Do not operate your preamp without the top and bottom covers installed.
These are required both for safety as well as shielding from interference
(except in service operations by qualified personnel).
Ensure a minimum of 8-10" clearance above the unit when placed on
shelving.
