INSTALLATION CONSIdERATIONS
pLACEmENT
Place the Niles System Integration Amplier
®
on a at level surface like a table
or shelf. It should be placed upright so that its weight rests on the four attached
feet. Placing the weight of the amplier on the rear or front panel for even an
instant will result in damage to the amplier’s connectors and controls.
The Niles System Integration Amplier
®
, like any hi- component, will last much
longer if it is given adequate ventilation for proper cooling. When installing
the Niles System Integration Amplier
®
in a cabinet, be sure that the rear of
the cabinet is open to fresh air to provide proper cooling (see Figure 1). 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 2).
Place the Niles System Integration Amplier
®
so that there is at least 7” of free
air space above the chassis. If the amplier is located on a carpeted surface,
place a board under the amplier’s feet. Do not block the ventilation holes on
the top and bottom of the Niles System Integration Amplier
®
.
CAUTION! When using low impedance speaker loads (less than 8 ohms Normal
Mode) refer to Figure 2 for proper placement.
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 Amplier.
Boxer Fan (55 CFM)
directly centered 7”
on top of the Amplifer.

Make sure that there is a minimum of 7” of free air
space above the amplier for proper ventilation.
