Amplifier photography
How to photograph cabinets, panels, controls, speakers, plates, tubes and overall condition.
For an amplifier, photograph:
- front view;
- rear view;
- control panel;
- inputs and outputs;
- corners and covering;
- handles;
- feet;
- identification plate.
For a combo, also show the speaker where it is accessible without improper disassembly.
If a head and cabinet are sold separately, avoid images that make an unincluded component appear to be part of the sale.
When visible and safely accessible, photograph:
- speakers;
- speaker labels;
- tubes;
- externally visible transformers;
- accessible fuses;
- connectors;
- disclosed modifications.
Do not open a chassis or access areas containing dangerous voltages merely to obtain photographs.
Documentation should stop where unsafe technical intervention would begin.
