2.2.3 Proper Cooling Considerations 
 
Cooling of the CVA 100-2 amplifier is achieved by Stewart’s unique 
whole chassis heatsink design, which utilizes the entire chassis as a 
heatsink to cool the heat generating components inside. In the event 
the internal ambient temperature reaches 85 degrees centigrade, the 
protection circuit will shut down the power supply until the amplifier 
cools down. 
 
Although the sophisticated thermal management system in the 
CVA100-2 makes it less susceptible to overheating than other amplifi-
ers, it remains good practice to provide airspace around the chassis. 
CAUTION: Inadequate airflow to the amplifier can cause the 
amplifier to overheat and potentially become damaged in 
the process. Be sure to provide plenty of air space to allow 
for convection cooling.
