Installation
Considerations
Location
Once your new Stellar Integrated Amplier is unpacked, you will need to nd a convenient
place to set it. A good locations in a cabinet or on a shelf at an easily accessible height. e IR
(infrared) receiver for the remote is located to the le of the display screen. A direct line of sight
will help with Stellar Strata Amplier’s IR sensor. e Strata and the Stellar Phono Preamplier
were designed to stack on top of each other if they are not placed on separate shelves. Do not
remove the feet.
Mounting
e Stellar Integrated Amplier should be placed with consideration of providing air circulation
to the unit. If you wish to install the Strata into your component rack, the purchase of an
aermarket, custom-designed shelf may be necessary.
If your equipment is located a long distance from the Strata, it is preferable to use a long, heavy
gauge shielded power cable between the AC receptacle in the wall and the Strata, rather than long
individual cables between the connected components.
Plugging In e
Power Cable
You may use either the provided power cable or an aermarket 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 aermarket power cable. It is always preferable to feed
your equipment using an excellent power cable, as there will be a signicant performance
improvement over the stock power cable.
To connect your unit to AC power, plug the at end of the power cord into the IEC AC inlet and
the pronged end into a wall socket.

Country Specic
AC Voltages
e Stellar Strata Amplier, as with most PS Audio products, is country specic to its incoming
AC voltage. is means the unit can only be operated at its preset voltage, such as 230 volts
for most of Europe and Asia, 100 volts for Japan, and 120 volts for the US and other similar
countries. Immediate damage can occur if you try and power the Strata with a voltage on which
it was not designed to operate.
