The Edge NL Reference Monoblock Amplifier
Uncrating and Setup
|
| The amps are delivered together on one palette. |
 |
| The plastic has been removed, the restraining strips
cut, and the crates then removed from the palette. |
 |
| Here we see the standard 'shockwatch' indicator that
Edge puts on the side of all of their boxes and crates when they are
shipped.
The 'shockwatch' should be white, as it is here. If the box or
crate has experienced severe 'G forces' then this indicator turns red. |
 |
| The handles on the crates are not strong enough
assist in lifting the crates when the amps are still inside. Their
purpose is to help 1) lift the top of the crate off of the amps and to
2) ease maneuvering of the crates when in storage. |
 |
| Let's see... who can Mike get to help uncrate these
beasts? Hmmmm.... |
 |
| Ah, yes. After unscrewing the bolts on the front
panel, it is easily removed. |
 |
| The amp is now visible. |
 |
| Lifting out the front 2x4 |
 |
| Next, we unscrewed the bolts around the bottom of
the crate. Then after pulling up (about 8 inches), and carefully
back on the crate using the crate handles, we removed the top part of
the crate. |

cellophane. |
 |
| We then reassembled the crate which was then put in
storage for safe-keeping. |
 |
