Serial Number, Date Code, Electrical Ratings & Model
ATTENTION:
To obtain the model number and serial
number of this product please refer to the label attached
to the bottom cover.
This label also contains electrical ratings and the date
code (date of manufacture). The date code is a 4 digit
code wherein the first 2 digits are the two least significant
digits of the year (e.g. “05” means the year 2005) and the
last two digits are the week of the year (numbered from
01 to 52)

Although all of the above specifications can be met regardless of whether the BP26 pream-
plifier is positioned immediately above or below the MPS2 power supply, optimum perfor-
mance will be achieved when the power supply is positioned above the preamplifier.
