Place your control amplifier on a stable support and use a spirit level to make
sure it is perfectly level. We recommend the use of a solidly constructed hi-fi
rack with adjustable shelves. In our experience, you will achieve good results
with racks using MDF shelves. Glass, metal or stone are less suitable for use as
hi-fi equipment supports. Avoid placing the control amplifier close to
loudspeakers or any other source of vibration. The 830 will respond to these
measures by performing at its best. Never stack the 830 directly on other
items

equipment.
electromagnetic interference from other components can have a negative
impact on the control amplifier's sound quality. 800 series products are not
suitable for installation in enclosures such as 19" racks or cabinets. The on/off
switch at the rear of the unit must always be accessible.
•
Take some time to organize your cabling. Try to keep power cables away
from interconnect and speaker cables. Shielded power cords can significantly
reduce the transfer of interference to your signal cables.
•
Make sure that the polarity of the mains wiring is the same for all system
components. You can achieve this by connecting all system components
through a single high quality mains distribution board. The lower the
contact resistance between the power outlets of your signal source and your
control amplifier, the less the audio signal will be polluted and the better
your hi-fi system will sound. Connecting your components with the correct
mains polarity is particularly important. Use a phase tester to determine
which pole is life. Mark the appropriate side.
•
Cleaning and maintenance: To clean your control amplifier, use a soft cloth.
Use a proprietary glass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the front panel.
Do not use water! Never use solvents or white spirit. These will cause
irreparable damage to the surface of the unit.
