Installation and Connections

Observe the following precautions when choosing a location for your Emotiva IPS-1:

1)Protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents and radiators.

2)Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If fluid or a foreign object should enter the unit, immediately turn off the power and contact your Emotiva Dealer.

3)Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.

4)Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

5)If you need to clean the front surface, first turn off the power and then use a soft dry cloth, rubbing with the grain. Be careful not to scratch the display window.

AC Power Considerations

Ensure that the unit is plugged into an outlet capable of supplying the correct voltage and current specified for your model. Remember to account for the electrical power that other components will require if they share a common wall socket or electrical circuit. The majority of household electrical sockets in places other than the kitchen and garage are 15 amperes maximum. Most DVD players and other source components are fairly low current items. When all seven amplifier channels are connected to speakers, the Emotiva IPS-1 requires a minimum of 15 amperes @ 120 volts or 8 am- peres @ 230 volts. It should be sufficient to allow the other devices such as preamplifiers and A/V source units to share a wall socket, but power amplifiers such as the IPS-1 and a video display (big screen TV or video projector) should be provided a SEPARATE electrical connection on a SEPARATE circuit. As the IPS-1 has a minimum requirement that consumes one entire circuit, please use a sec- ond (separate) electrical connection for other devices. DO NOT plug the IPS-1 into a power strip or extension cord unless the device is specifically designed and rated for high current use.

Refer to your preamplifier, A/V source component(s), and video display owner’s manuals to learn the power requirements so you can safely plan your electrical power requirements for your home entertainment system.

Input Connection Considerations

Whenever possible, keep preamp level audio cables away from electrical power cords by at least a few inches. It’s more important with amplifiers as the AC power cords are carrying much more cur- rent than other source and preamplifier components, which means there is a larger degree of noise or “hum” potential with the amplifier power cord proximity.
