AMPLIFIER SETUP
The io will work well on most surfaces, such
as a shelf or table, provided there is sufficient
air around the amplifier to prevent overheating.
Ideally, position the amplifer as far as the
tonearm lead will allow. It is recommended NOT
to stack other hi-fi equipment directly on top of
the amplifier.

accidentally shorted, a short circuit protection
is activated in the io amplifier. This will protect
the output stage from excessive currents.
