I found one of these at my local music shop and saw this thing on the head. It appears that it opens, but the one I played through did not. My best guess is that it's some sort f vent, because it's permeable. Anyone know what this is?

looks like a dust filter over the fan intake. A decent idea, so long as the user keeps it clean.

Yup, it's a filter. Here's that the manual has to say about it:

Quote:
12. Fan Filter – Removable sponge filter covering the amplifier’s cooling tunnel vent. The Fan Filter can easy be removed and cleaned.

Cleaning the Fan Filters

From time to time, it may become necessary to clean the fan filter. It’s a good idea to keep the fan filter clean to ensure maximum airflow, and cooling, through your LH Series amplifier.

To clean the fan filters, follow these simple steps:

1/ Remove the fan filter by placing your finger in the depressed area under the fan filter frame.

2/ Clean the filter with warm water and let the filter dry thoroughly before replacing.

3/ Replace the fan filter by aligning the frame to the top of the panel knock-out, and then, snap the frame back in place.
