USER MANUAL
BootiQue Active System
The information contained within this manual does not include all of the details of design, production
or variations of the equipment. Nor does it cover every possible situation that may arise during
installation, operation or maintenance. If you need particular assistance beyond the scope of this
manual please contact our technical staff.
Magnetic Field - Caution
If an equipment rack is to be used, we would recommend
mounting the amplifiers in the bottom of the rack and
mounting pre-amplifier and other sensitive equipment
such as the Oyster at the top of the rack.
Do not locate sensitive high-gain equipment such as
pre-amplifier or tape decks directly above or below
amplifiers.
Because amplifiers have a high power density there
is a strong magnetic field which can induce hum into
unshielded devices that are located nearby. The field is
strongest just above and below the unit.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The lightning bolt triangle is used to alert
the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the unit that may
constitute a risk of electric shock.
