Installation

Preventing excessive rise in the internal temperature of the RDA-7.1 is vital to the long operational life of the equipment. This will also help prevent trouble at the RDA-7.1 from damaging other connected components. Therefore, it is important to choose a location with excellent ventilation for installation.

Ventilation

During normal household use of the RDA-7.1, only its internal heatsink becomes warm. However, if used with low impedance speakers at high volume levels, the internal temperature level will rise higher than usual. These high internal temperatures may cause damage to the internal components.

To prevent damage from occurring due to high internal temperatures, it is vital to have proper ventilation and passage of air to carry out the heat and keep the internal temperature within acceptable ranges.

Caution

Do not place the RDA-7.1 inside cabinets or closets where there is poor passage of air and ventilation.

Do not place the RDA-7.1 near external heat sources such as heaters or hot air ducts.

Do not place other components or object on top of the RDA-7.1.

The cover of the RDA-7.1 contains ventilation holes to allow the passage of air. Do not cover or block these holes in any way.

If you are planning to place it within a cabinet, either open holes in the rear panel of the cabinet to improve ventilation or use a fan to force air circulation.

As a general rule, if during idling the cover is too hot to touch, then ventilation needs to be improved.

Installation location and space

The RDA-7.1 is an extremely heavy piece of equipment. Make sure that the floor or cabinet or rack where it will be located is strong enough to support its weight.

You will also need to leave enough space behind the RDA-7.1 to allow room for the power cord and other cables for connecting system components. A minimum of three inches (8 cm) is required behind the RDA-7.1 to allow room for the cables and cords without excessively bending them.
