Manual

Installation

The C52 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,

standing on its four feet. It also can be custom in-

stalled in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your

choice. The four feet may be removed from the bottom

of the C52 when it is custom installed as outlined be-

low. The four feet together with the mounting screws

should be retained for possible future use if the C52

is removed from the custom installation and used free

standing. The required panel cutout, ventilation cutout

and unit dimensions are shown.

Always provide adequate ventilation for your C52.

Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating

life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the

C52 directly above a heat generating component such

as a high powered amplifier. If all the components are

installed in a single cabinet, a quiet running ventila-

tion fan can be a definite asset in maintaining all the

system components at the coolest possible operating

temperature.

A custom cabinet installation should provide the

following minimum spacing dimensions for cool

operation.

Allow at least 2 inches (5.1cm) above the top, 2

inches (5.1cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.5cm)

on each side of the Preamplifier, so that airflow is not

obstructed. Allow 20 inches (50.8cm) depth behind the

front panel. Allow 1-7/16 inch (3.7cm) in front of the

mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out

a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to

the dimensions in the drawing.

Wat is the difference betwee an amplifier and a pre-amplifier? Verified

An amplifier is often an integrated amplifier, with pre-amplifier and power amplifier in one device. A pre-amplifier regulates volume and sometimes balance and tone and lets you choose what source is used (cd, tape, turntable, etc). A pre-amplifier often provides a little amplification, just enough for the power amplifier. This is an active pre-amplifier. Sometimes a pre-amplifier does not amplify, making it a passive pre-amplifier.
