Attention !

6Vériﬁez deux fois toutes les connexions

Nous savons bien que ce paragraphe peut sembler inutile et agaçant, mais il n’est pourtant jamais inutile de dépenser une ou deux minutes pour bien vériﬁer chaque connexion, et éventuellement vériﬁer puis modiﬁer celles qui semblent de qualité précaire.

7Allumez tous les maillons du système, puis allumez l’ampliﬁcateur C’est une excellente habitude à prendre que d’allumer toujours en dernier le ou les ampliﬁcateurs de puissance, et également de les éteindre les premiers. Cela évite les bruits parasites pouvant survenir à l’allumage/ extinction de certains maillons, qui peuvent alors atteindre et endommager les enceintes acoustiques.

Pour enlever la poussière sur le coffret, utilisez un plumeau ou un ﬁn tissu non pelucheux. Pour retirer la saleté ou des traces de doigt, nous recommandons uniquement un chiffon doux légèrement imbibé d’alcool isopropyle. Imbibez uniquement le chiffon d’alcool, avant de le passer doucement sur la surface de l’ampliﬁcateur. Ne pas utiliser trop d’alcool aﬁn qu’il ne puisse en aucun cas s’égoutter du chiffon.

Ne jamais, en aucun cas, appliquer directement de produit liquide sur l’ampliﬁcateur, car un liquide quel qu’il soit introduit dans l’appareil peut endommager gravement et irrémédiablement celui-ci.
