The housing of the Tube Vitalizer has the standard 19" EIA format and occupies 2U (88 mm) in your rack.

The Tube Vitalizer should not be installed near units which produce strong magnetic fields or extreme heat. Do not install the Tube Vitalizer directly above or below power amplifiers or digital processors. If possible, the Tube Vitalizer should be placed in an “analog rack”. This eliminates problems which could result from interfering high-frequency signals such as clock frequen- cies, MIDI or SMPTE signals.

Check that the voltage details quoted on the back panel are the same as your local mains electricity supply. Use a minus (-) screwdriver to set the voltage selector to the voltage for the area in which the unit will be used. Never cover up the ventilation slots on the top of the unit. If, during operation, the sound is inter- rupted or indicators no longer illuminate, or if abnormal odor or smoke is detected, or if liquids are spilled on the unit, immedia- tely disconnect the power cord plug and contact your dealer.

Only clean your Tube Vitalizer with a soft, lint-free cloth.
