PRECAUTIONS
Please take special note of the following precautions before operating your new amplifier:
The Plinius SB-301 Power Amplifier may deliver in excess of 300 watts into 8 ohms. This amplifier is
also capable of a very large peak current delivery.
The Plinius SB-301 Power Amplifier is capable of generating temperatures that could have an adverse
effect on other equipment, furniture etc. DO NOT leave flammable material on the amplifier whilst
running, as this could pose a serious fire risk.
The Plinius SB-301 Power Amplifier is of direct-coupled design, and offers no protection from
preamplifiers that have a high DC component at their outputs.
This amplifier operates at hazardous voltage levels. We recommend that any work requiring removal
of the lid or base of this amplifier be referred to a suitably qualified and experienced service
technician.
DO NOT attempt to connect any input of this amplifier to it’s own outputs.
DO NOT earth any output terminal or connect any of these terminals together without following the
instructions in this manual or seeking qualified assistance.
DO NOT place this amplifier in any position where liquids or any foreign material may accidentally
enter it.
DO NOT connect any voltage source, short circuit, earth/ground or appliance (other than suitable high
fidelity loudspeakers) to the amplifier output terminals.
Some preamplifiers, processors, CD players’ etc. produce large switching pulses when switched on
causing a loud click through the loudspeakers. For this reason, turn on all other equipment in your
system before turning on your Plinius SB-301, or ensure that the amplifier is in MUTE. You will not
experience this phenomenon with Plinius Preamplifiers.
