Amplifier Ventilation Recommendation

Search

How much space around my Denon receiver/amplifier is recommended for adequate ventilation?

Although there's no definitive specification, we recommend a minimum of 5 inches of ventilation space on top and 2 inches on either side of the receiver/amplifier to reduce the risk of the amplifier overheating and tripping the Protection Circuit when playing at moderate to high volume output levels. For added protection, you may also incorporate the use of an external cooling fan to exhaust heat away from the top of the unit.
