2.1 Installation
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your
mixer-amplifier is disconnected from the
power source, with the power switch in the
“off” position and all level controls turned
completely down (counterclockwise).
Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack
(EIA RS-310B). See Figure 2.1 for amplifier dimen-
sions.
You may also stack mixer-amps without using a
cabinet, or you may place a single mixer-amp on a
surface with 12 inches of air space around the unit
for convection cooling.
NOTE: When transporting in a rack, mixer-amps
should be supported at the front and back.
When using an equipment rack, do not mount units
directly on top of each other. Allow 2 U between
units for convection cooling. The side walls of the
rack should be a minimum of two inches (5.1 cm)
away from the amplifier sides, and the back of the
rack should be a minimum of four inches (10.2 cm)
from the amplifier back panel.
