When operating, the fan draws cool air in through the back of the amplifier, and blows it along the heat

exchanger until it exits through the front, top and bottom.

The amplifier is fully protected against over heating, but this is only for protection and should never operate

in normal use, whatever your 'normal use' is. If you only ever listen at moderate level, you may never notice

the temperature rise above idling. The high thermal mass of the case absorbs short periods of high power

input with a slow and low temperature rise and the natural convection through the heat exchanger

transfers this to the air. However, the last thing you want is for your audio system to shut down if you are

having a party. So always ensure the installation provides plenty of ventilation.
