Amplifier Ground - tI t is good practice to ground the amplifier chassis to the rack or
console metalware which is, in turn, connected to conduit and electrical system ground
( o r c o l d w a t e r p i p e ) . To be sure grounding exists between the amplifier and the metal-’
ware, place an outside-toothed lockwasher under the head of one of the mounting screws.
