Pagina afdrukkenINSTALLATION AND POSITION
This amplifier should be positioned on a flat stable surface. We would
recommend that the position of your hi-fi equipment should be chosen
carefully to provide adequate protection for this device, but also provide an
attractive showcase for your investment. Hi-fi equipment is not designed to
be moved often, therefore it is recommended that a permanent home for
your hi-fi be achieved as soon as is possible.
As this amplifier is fitted with a powerful mains transformer, it is not
recommended that sensitive audio equipment such as turntables or
cassette decks be placed immediately next to it. Do not place the CAMP-1B
in areas of direct sunlight, nor place it adjacent to a radiator or other heating
appliances.
Like all amplifiers the CAMP-1B will generate a modest amount of heat.
The cooling of this device is reliant upon the flow of air through the chassis
grilles which are located on the top and bottom of the cabinet. Care should
be taken not to cover these grilles with items such as rugs, covers or
curtains which will restrict this air flow. Do not place the amplifier on a soft
surface as this may result in the bottom grille becoming restricted, and as a
result may lead to over-heating.
Do not place records, tapes or compact discs on top of the unit. Be aware
that after prolonged usage the chassis of this unit will become hot.
Never allow the amplifier to come into contact with water or liquids, and
ensure that small objects do not fall through the ventilation grilles. In the
event of this happening, disconnect the wall plug form the mains supply
immediately, and contact your local dealer for service advice.
Do not position the power cable such that it can be walked upon, or
damaged by regular traffic. Ensure that all other interconnecting cables
such as speaker cables or ancillary equipment leads, are stowed safely
behind the unit, and cannot be easily snagged or kicked thus causing
possible damage to the unit.
Ensure that all interconnection cables have been fitted correctly, and that
polarity has been maintained. This is especially important when connecting
loudspeakers to this amplifier. On the rear panel, binding post speaker
outputs are provided. These are coloured red for positive, and black for
negative.
There will be a corresponding pair of terminals on the rear of suitable
loudspeakers. These terminals should be connected together with adequate
quality speaker cables, taking care that the red terminal on the amplifier is
connected to the red terminal on the loudspeaker. The same process should
occur for the black terminals. On occasions you may find equipment has
differing colour in/outputs in this case take care to connect the same colour
cables to the left & right in/outputs. Care should be taken to ensure that no
wires have become frayed during this process, and subsequently could be
touching each other. This will cause a short circuit on the output stage of the
amplifier, and will result in a poor or distorted sound. Failure to rectify this
problem may result in long term damage to this unit.
Position the loudspeakers a suitable distance away form the amplifier,
gaining enough distance to allow the stereo image to be achieved. Having
the loudspeakers too close to each other will not allow you to fully define
the stereo content of music played through the system, plus may result in
poor sound due to the cancellation properties that sometimes exist when in
this state. It is not ideal to place loudspeakers in the corners of a room as
this will normally colour the audible content of the music with a lift in bass
content. Although it is sometimes desirable to increase the bass response of
your system, this can lead to a 'boomy' bass which is not always desirable,
and can be hard to control. It should also be noted that firing loudspeakers
onto a hard flat surface can cause mid range and high frequency
colouration as reflected sound becomes part of the audible sound. This can
lead to a harshness, or dead spots through cancellation.
The best sound is always subjective to the listener, therefore we suggest
you arrange your hi-fi to suit your own listening tastes, and sit back and
enjoy the fruits of your labour.
