This product complies with the EMC directive (89/336/EEC) and the low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC).

WARNINGS

The preamplifier must be placed on a firm, level surface where it is not exposed to dripping or splashing.

The ventilation grids on the top of the preamplifier and the space underneath the preamplifier must be unobstructed at all times during operation. Do not place flammable material above or beneath the preampli- fier.

Before making connections to the preamplifier, ensure that the power is off and other components are in mute or stand-by mode. Make sure all cable terminations are of the highest quality, free from frayed ends, short cir- cuits, or cold solder joints.

Do not connect an RS-232 cable to the phono power port. Output from the phono power port could seriously damage your computer. Do not connect the cable from a Krell KPE phono stage to the RS-232 port.

THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE PREAMPLIFIER
