PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION.
This P7 is designed to operate at a moderate temperature.
The ideal location is on a rigid stand or floor mounted away from direct contact with any objects,
materials or deep pile carpets which may interrupt the flow of air around and through the amplifier.
Make sure that no objects are placed on top of the amplifier and that the ventilation holes are not covered
or restricted in any way. Always ensure adequate ventilation.
The
PLINIUS
P7 design incorporates a very high level of mechanical decoupling of the input and
output. It can however still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment. The use
of acoustic cones or a suitably spiked amplifier stand or table may further enhance the performance of this
amplifier. Consult your
PLINIUS
dealer for further advice if required.
The PLINIUS P7 power amplifier should be left switched on at all times. If the P7 is
switched off between listening sessions you will never hear just how good it really sounds.
In our experience a 48 hour warmup period is required during which the sound quality will
change quite dramatically. This change will continue for at least 72 hours after which the
amplifier will be at its optimum. This warmup period is a nuisance but the results are very
worth waiting for.
MAINS / LINE POWER CONNECTION
MAINS / LINE POWER connection is via the supplied plug-in lead.
The standard IEC socket connects the mains power at the amplifier end while a local mains plug is
required at the wall end. In the event where a "local" plug needs to be fitted to the wall end of the lead,
ensure that the plug is wired correctly by a suitably qualified or experienced person.
The wiring code is;
Green to Earth,
Blue to Neutral,
Brown to Phase or Live.
Ensure the mains switch on the front of the amplifier is OFF before attempting any modification of the
mains connection - by depressing the left hand side of the MAINS switch.
