Installation
Considerations
Location
Once your new Stellar Phono Preamplifier is unpacked, you will need to find a convenient
place to set it. To avoid RF interference from other components in your system, such as
computers and servers, we recommend placing the Stellar Phono as far away from these
devices as possible.
Mounting
The Stellar Phono Preamplifier should be placed with consideration of providing air
circulation to the unit. If you wish to install the Stellar Phono into your component rack, the
purchase of an aftermarket, custom-designed shelf may be necessary.
If your equipment is located a long distance from the Stellar Phono, it is preferable to use
a long, heavy gauge shielded power cable between the AC receptacle in the wall and the
Stellar Phono, rather than long individual cables between the connected components.
Plugging In The
Power Cable
You may use either the provided power cable or an aftermarket power cable to connect
your unit to AC power. For best results, we strongly recommend the use of a PS Audio
PerfectWave
®
Power AC cable, or any high-quality aftermarket power cable. It is always
preferable to feed your equipment using an excellent power cable, as there will be a
significant performance improvement over the stock power cable.
To connect your unit to AC power, plug the flat end of the power cord into the IEC AC
inlet and the pronged end into a wall socket.
