Nº433 Power Amplifier
Installation Considerations
The Nº433 requires special care during installation to ensure 
optimal performance. Pay particular attention to the precautions 
included in this section and to other precautions included 
throughout this owner’s manual.
Placement
DO
“Power Requirements” on page 9 before installing the Nº433.
DO
 place the Nº433 on a solid, flat, level surface such as a table, 
shelf, or floor OR bolt the Nº433 into a rack-mounting system. 
Use a purpose-built rack-mounting system to accommodate the 
weight of the power amplifier. Refer to “Rack-Mounting” on 
page 33
 for additional information.
DO
 position the Nº433 close to associated loudspeakers to keep 
loudspeaker wires as short as possible. Use longer interconnecting 
cables between the preamplifier and the power amplifier. This is 
preferable because interconnecting cables pass low-voltage signals, 
which transmit over distances with greater accuracy than the high-
voltage signals required by loudspeakers.
DO
 allow at least a six-inch (15cm) clearance behind the Nº433 
for the power cord and signal cables to bend.
DO
 refer to “Dimensions” on page 32 for assistance with custom 
installations.
DO NOT
 position the Nº433 near low-level components. This 
power amplifier is capable of producing massive output 
currents, which could generate significant magnetic fields and 
induce noise in some sensitive components.
DO NOT
 place the Nº433 on a windowsill or in another location 
in which it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Caution!
Before moving the Nº433, make sure it is powered off with the 
front panel power button. Then, make sure the power cord is 
disconnected from the ~ac mains connector and the electrical 
outlet. Do not attempt to move the Nº433 without adequate 
assistance. Proper lifting requires at least two people.
Ventilation
DO
 select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight. 
DO
 allow at least a two to three-inch (5 to 8cm) clearance above 
the Nº433 for proper heat dissipation through air circulation. 
The Nº433 is designed for passive, convection cooling.
DO NOT
 obstruct the ventilation holes on the top and bottom 
of the Nº433 or reduce airflow through the Nº433.
