6 PLINIUS SB-301 MKII
Precautions
PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW AMPLIFIER.
• The Plinius SB-301 MKII Power Amplifier can deliver in excess of 300 watts into 8
ohms. This amplifier is also capable of a very large peak current delivery.
• The Plinius SB-301 MKII Power Amplifier is capable of generating heat that could
have an adverse effect on other electronic equipment, furniture, etc.
• This amplifier is of direct-coupled design, and offers no protection from
preamplifiers that have a high DC component at their outputs.
• This amplifier operates at hazardous voltage levels. There are some alterations
that may be made by you, the owner. However, we recommend that any work
requiring removal of the lid be referred to a suitably qualified and experienced
service technician.
• DO NOT leave flammable material on the amplifier whilst running, as this could
pose a serious fire risk.
• DO NOT attempt to connect any input of this amplifier to its own outputs.
• DO NOT earth any output terminal or connect any of these terminals together
without following the instructions in this manual or seeking qualified assistance.
• DO NOT place this amplifier in any position where liquids, or any foreign material
may accidentally enter it.
• DO NOT connect any voltage source, short circuit, earth/ground or appliance
(other than suitable high fidelity loudspeakers) to the amplifier output terminals.
• DO NOT expose the unit to dripping or splashing.
• DO NOT place objects filled with liquids on the unit, e.g. vases.
• DO NOT place sources of naked flame on the unit, e.g. candles.
Some preamplifiers, processors, CD players etc, produce large switching pulses when
switched on causing a loud click through the loudspeakers. For this reason, turn
on all other equipment in your system before turning on your Plinius SB-301 MKII, or
ensure that the amplifier is in STANDBY. You will not experience this phenomenon with
Plinius preamplifiers.
