INSTALLATION CONSIdERATIONS
pLACEmENT
Place the SI-1230 on a at, level surface like a table or shelf. It should be placed
upright so that its weight rests on the unit’s four feet. PLACING THE WEIGHT OF
THE AMPLIFIER ON THE REAR OR FRONT PANEL FOR EVEN AN INSTANT WILL
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER’S CONNECTORS AND CONTROLS.
The SI-1230, like any hi- component, will last much longer if it is given adequate
ventilation for proper cooling. When installing the SI-1230 in a cabinet, be sure
that the rear of the cabinet is open to fresh air to provide proper cooling (see
Figure 10). If the cabinet’s design will not accommodate an open rear, install two
small “boxer fans” to provide continuous air ow into and out of the cabinet (see
Figure 11). Place the SI-1230 so that there is at least 5” of free air space above
the chassis. If the amplier is located on a carpeted surface, place a board under
the amplier’s feet. Do not block the ventilation holes on the top and bottom of
the SI-1230.
The SI-1230 is equipped with a digital power transformer. This transformer
generates a powerful magnetic eld which could induce hum in a turntable
(particularly a turntable equipped with a moving coil cartridge). Do not place a
turntable directly above or directly adjacent to the SI-1230.
Allow a minimum of 2” of depth behind unit
to accommodate cables and connectors.
If the cabinet rear is not open to fresh air or if you’re
using low impedance loads, install two “boxer fans”
to provide continuous air ow into and out of the
cabinet.
Boxer Fan (55 CFM)
directly centered 2”
behind the Amplier.
Boxer Fan (55 CFM)
directly centered 7” on
top of the Amplier.
Make sure that there is a minimum of 7” of free air
space above the amplier for proper ventilation.
Because the surface of the amplier may get hot, it
is recommended that a bafe or screen be placed
above the amplier to block hand access to the
top surface of the SI1230.
