Remove all jewelry including watches, rings and belts from your person to avoiddamage to the exterior of the preamplifier during the removal and installation.The finish of the Progression Preamplifier is delicate. To maintain the preamplifier’s pristinesurface, we strongly suggesting wearing the supplied white lifting gloves when handling to avoidabrasion, fingerprints caused by oils from skin, etc. See Operation: Maintenance for instructionson cleaning.Installation requirementsEnsure the surface that will support the Progression Preamplifier can safely hold its weight.Adequate ventilation must be provided for the preamplifier. There should be at least 3 inches ofclearance on each side of the preamplifier and 3 inches of clearance at the top, and the bottomvents must not be obstructed by thick carpet, dust, etc. We recommend that the preamplifierbe installed in an open equipment rack to assure proper ventilation. The preamplifier may beinstalled in a closed cabinet or in an equipment closet, but the cabinet or closet must be designedwith substantial ventilation at top and bottom; active ventilation (i.e., powered fans) is preferred.Do not place the preamplifier directly on a carpeted floor.

This is normal operation.We recommend that you do not plug the Progression Preamplifier or any other Dan D’AgostinoMaster Audio Systems product into a power strip or power conditioner.The Progression Preamplifier is designed with special cone feet that screw into the bottom of thepreamplifier chassis and match up with indentations on the top of the power supply. The bottom ofthe power supply has soft feet designed to isolate the preamplifier assembly from vibration. (Thesefeet will not stain or mar the surface underneath them.)To attach the cone feet, turn the preamplifier chassis upside down and place it on a soft but securesurface—a few towels draped over a sturdy table, for example. Screw the feet all the way into thethreaded holes on the bottom of the chassis. Now place the power supply in the place where youwant to install the Progression Preamplifier. Place it carefully atop the power supply chassis, liningup the points of the cone feet with the indentations on the top of the power supply.The Progression Preamplifier remote control operates via Bluetooth.
