Placing Your

SX60m

The SX60m should generally be placed close to your source

equipment, thus keeping interconnect cabling between the

SX60m and associated components as short as practical. This

will reduce the systems susceptibility to radio frequency

interference and the negative effects associated with long cables.

Ventilation

Requirements

The SX60m is a convection cooled amplifier. For optimal

performance, the unit MUST receive adequate ventilation.

àPlease do not cover the product with a cloth or similar.

àPlease do not mount the SX60m directly onto carpeted

surfaces.

In the event that the SX60m is to be incorporated into custom

cabinetry, please refer to the dimensional information provided in

the Physical Dimensions section of the manual (Chapter 12).

Note: Please take all necessary steps to ensure that the unit

receives adequate ventilation

your favourite piece of music through your new SX60m. The

following instructions are written to enable you to achieve this as

quickly as possible. These are not comprehensive instructions,

but are designed to enable you to play music now!

Note: Please take the time to read the SX60m manual thoroughly

as it incorporates many features, which will enhance its

operation.

Placement

The SX60m is a convection cooled amplifier and best results will

be achieved when placed on a solid surface with adequate

ventilation. DO NOT place on a carpeted floor or cover the

amplifier!

Place the SX60m close or near the source component in order to

make as short a connection as possible.

Turn off associated components

This minimises the potential to damage any other components

when connecting your SX60m into the system.

Connect source to preamplifier

Connect the audio output from the source component to the input

of the preamplifier.

Connect preamplifier to SX60m

Connect the audio output from the preamplifier to the unbalanced

(RCA) input at the rear of the SX60m. Refer to Chapter 4 for

Rear Panel information.

Connect loud speaker cable to SX60m

Connect your loudspeaker lead to the bindng posts at the rear of

the amplifier. Refer to Chapter 4 for Rear Panel information.

Note: Make sure the nominal impedance of the loudspeakers is

not lower than 4Ω.

Switch on SX60m

Caution! Prior to connecting the AC mains, please check the voltage

label on the rear panel to ensure that your unit conforms to

the power supply in your area. Never attempt to connect

the unit to the incorrect voltage.

Insert the power cord supplied into the rear of the SX60m and

into the wall. Switch on the socket at the wall and turn on the

power of the SX60m by setting the power switch down.

Switch on preamplifier and source component

Turn on the preamplifier. Power up your source component and

start your favourite recording. Slowly increase the preamplifier

volume to achieve a comfortable listening level.

CONGRATULATIONS!

and please read the rest of the manual at your own pace in your

favourite armchair whilst sipping a hot cup of coffee. You’ll find
