Rotel RSP-1066 Placement question!!

[ETPhoneHome]

Hi,

I just purchased the Rotel RSP1066 with RMB 1075. I was wondering if it's ok to place the RSP1066 directly on top of the RMB1075 like the picture on the WWW.Rotel.com??

it's best to give them their own shelf. amps should have about four inches of breathing room on the sides and top to ensure cooling.

Thanks for the info!! I guess I will have to get a new rack and redo all the wires...

It's a hassle, but worth keeping the 1066 off the 1075. My 1075 doesn't get that hot, but I don't want to chance damaging either the 1075 or my 1066.

Let's face it, Not many of us will explore the boundaries, or find the limitations of these products. I have a 1066 and a 1095. The 1066 sits directly on top of the 1095. The 1095 is used to drive (very) inefficient speakers. During burn in proceedures I left the units on for a copuple of days, driving some pretty heavy loads. the 1095 barely got warm. the 1066 did generate heat. Neither created a concern, nor caused a problem. I'd say that the placement of a unit above the 1066 would be a no-no, if indeed it obstructed the air vents on the top of the 1066 cover. Otherwise....no problems at all. So...go forth and don't be concerned...Don't they have thermal protection circuitry anywway?
