Installation and connection
Important
•
For connecting the EPX to or removing from the mother unit, the
EPX and the mother unit must be switched off to prevent damage
from both devices.
•
Please make sure that all cables are in absolute best conditions!
Broken shields or shorted cables could damage both devices.
4.1 Placement
Important
•
Place the EPX right beside or at least 20 cm above/below of the
mother unit.
•
It is recommended to place the EPX into a high quality rack or onto a
stable table.
•
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
•
Do not cover the ventilation slots.
•
Do not place the EPX in close range to heat sources like radiators. Do
not place the EPX on top of other units, especially not on top of
power amplifiers, pre amplifiers or similar that produce heat. Both
units could suffer damage from thermal overload.
•
Do not use the unit in places where it is exposed to vibrations.
•
Do not place the unit close to loudspeakers or into the corner of a
room where it is exposed to high levels of sonic energy, which might
reduce the sound quality of the unit.
