Electrocompaniet REC4.5 - Manual (Page 7)

Operating instructions:
How to turn on your system
You should always turn on your equipment in this order: Signal source devices (CD,
tuner, etc) and preamplifier are turned on first. Allow 30 seconds of preheating before
you turn on your power amplifier.When turning your system off, you should start by
switching off your power amplifier, then the preamplifier, and finally your signal source
devices
Warning:
The preamplifier will be warm.
Due to the high class A operating point used in the Electrocompaniet design, it is nor-
mal that the preamplifier feels warm. Proper ventilation will be needed, and the
preamplifier should not be covered in. A good rule is to allow 1 - 2 inches of air
sideways, and 2 - 3 inches above the preamplifier.
