THANK YOU!...

this preamplifier that you do not know, and it is in your, and our here at Manley Labs, best interest

Thank you again, and please enjoy!
GENERAL NOTES
LOCATION & VENTILATION
The Masteringroom-Standard preamplifier must be installed in a stable location with ample
ventilation. It is recommended, if this unit is rack mounted, that you allow enough clearance on the
top and bottom of the preamp such that a constant flow of air can flow through the ventilation vents.
We also recommend that the preamplifier be placed at least 10 inches away from its amplifier.
INTRODUCTION
WATER & MOISTURE
As with any electrical equipment, this preamplifier should not be used near water or moisture. If
liquid enters the preamplifier, it must be immediately returned to your deal for servicing.
SERVICING
The user should not attempt to service the preamplifier beyond that described in the owner's manual.
Refer all servicing other than tube replacement to Manley Laboratories.
SPECIAL NOTES
Tubes may become loose during transit. Straighten and press down each tube before plugging the
preamplifier into the mains socket. Furthermore, NEVER touch the tubes after the preamplifier has
been switched on, the tubes become very hot during operation and should only be handled after the
power has been turned off and the tubes have cooled.
