UNPACKING
The PLINIUS SA-Reference is a very heavy amplifier and so requires to be shipped in
a custom made crate. To open the crate you must locate and remove the 12 pozi drive
screws around the base of the crate. Once all of the screws have been removed, the
crate will lift off the base and expose the inner carton containing the amplifier.
Please take care when opening the carton as the unit sits just below the surface
of the carton. Open the carton from the top and remove the accessories and
polystyrene packing from each end. You may now proceed to lift the unit from the
carton. You will require help with this as the unit is very heavy.
PLACEMENT & VENTILATION
Your PLINIUS SA-Reference may operate at a moderately high temperature, especially
during extended listening sessions. The ideal location is upon a rigid stand, or floor
mounted away from direct contact with any temperature sensitive materials, furniture
or deep pile carpets. Ventilation through and around the amplifier should also be
kept unimpeded. Please ensure that the heat vents (slots in the lid and base) and the
heatsink fins on either side are not covered or restricted in any way.
The PLINIUS SA-Reference design incorporates a very high level of mechanical
decoupling of the input and output. It can however still be influenced by acoustical
feedback in the operating environment. The use of acoustic cones or a suitably
spiked amplifier stand or table may further enhance the performance of this amplifier.
Consult your Plinius dealer for further advice if required.
