Placement Considerations
PRECAUTION
For your protection, review “Important Safety Instructions” and
“Operating Voltage” before you install your DCAB-1.
Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting signal cables must
be left behind your DCAB-1. We suggest leaving at least six inches (15 cm) of
free space behind your DCAB-1 so all cables have sufficient room to bend with-
out crimping or undue strain.
We also suggest leaving at least six inches (15 cm) of space between the
DCAB-1 and the nearest power amplifier in your system. Most power amplifiers
need adequate ventilation themselves; moreover, some power amplifiers radiate
significant magnetic fields that should be kept away from all sensitive electronics
in order to achieve the best performance.
The DCAB-1 should also be placed in such a way that the power switch on
the rear panel is easily accessible. This switch disconnects power from the unit
completely, resulting in effective disconnection of the DCAB-1 from the AC
mains. You might think of this as a “vacation switch,” should you wish to turn
off your system completely when you will be away from home for a prolonged
period of time. Just remember to turn it back on again when you return.
Ventilation Your Wisdom Audio DCAB-1 does not have significant ventilation requirements,
operating as it does solely at line level. It draws less than one ampere of current,
and becomes only modestly warm during normal operation.
Mechanical drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installa-
tions where necessary (see “Dimensions” at the end of this manual).
