Placing Your SM6

The SM6 is packaged for maximum protection. Please carefully read the instructions below before proceeding to unpack the unit. Be extremely careful.

￿Inspect both ends of the cardboard box and open at the end without the central staple by slitting the reinforced tape at either side.

￿Fold back the flaps and tip the package on end and the inner box will slide out.

￿Lay the inner box down flat and upright, open it conventionally by separating the top tray from the bottom.

￿The product can now be removed from the bottom packaging. This will be easier if you have someone to help you by holding the base of the box.

￿Alternately, the bottom tray and preamplifier could be tipped upside down and the bottom packaging removed. If opened in this manner, please ensure that you turn the contents over again.

Be very careful to secure the unit if you are planning to flip the package upside down.

￿Remove the two grey foam protectors off either side of the unit, leaving the black material covering.

￿Pull back the material and remove the protective membrane from the front panel.

The preamplifier is now unpacked and ready for further installation.

Please retain all packaging material for future transport.

The SM6 should generally be placed close to your amplifier, keeping the interconnect cabling short. Position all the separate components of your system close enough to your SM6 to avoid having to stretch or extend any of the interconnect cables.

As a “rule of thumb”, allow 80-100mm (3-4 inches) around all sides of the product and mount the SM6 on a flat surface, ensuring that the unit has adequate access to free flowing air.

Do not place auxiliary equipment directly on top of the SM6. Do not place the SM6 directly atop a power amplifier.

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