Caution for Installation

1.Your Sherbourn amplifier can be placed on any table or shelf. It can also be custom installed in a rack, and/or in a piece of cabinetry or furniture of your choice. It is however, important that if the amplifier is going to be housed in an enclosed environment, that you allow for adequate ventilation. Despite the adequately sized heatsinks built into the amplifier, it is still important that good ventilation be provided. Do not install the amplifier directly above another heat generating component such as another amplifier without adequate ventilation.
