MPS-1 Installation Accessories
The MPS-1 Modular Power Amplier comes with some additional installation accessories that make
the component t into virtually any installation theme.
Piano Black Wood Side Panels
The MPS-1 comes with attractive wood side panels in a stunning piano black lacquer nish. As this
electronic component is going to be in many homes alongside equally nice furniture, the side panels
allow the MPS-1 to look a little more like it belongs in the room. Although every installation will not
require them, they are included for the owner to use if he/she so chooses.
To clean the piano black nish, simply use a damp cloth (dampened with water) and wipe them down.
Then use a soft dry cloth to dry and bu the nish to its original shine. Do not use any chemicals on
the side panels. Chemical cleaners may cloud the nish of the laquer.
Rack Mount Installation Hardware
In the event the user chooses to mount the MPS-1 in a “rack mount” conguration, the unit has rack
mount ears included. To install the MPS-1 into a rack mounting conguration, the following details
must be completed.
1) The piano black wood side panels must be removed, This is accomplished by simply removing
the four #2 Phillips screws on each panel.
2) The four aluminum feet of the MPS-1 chassis must also be removed. This is accomplished by re-
moving one #2 Phillips screw directly in the center of the foot
3) Remove two #2 Phillips screws attached at the front edge of the side panel.
4) Attach the rack mount ears to the side panels using the longer #2 Phillips screws provided.
5) When installing into a rack mounting position, be sure to provide adequate support from the
sides and/or rear of the unit to avoid any unnecessary stress on the chassis.
6) Be sure the MPS-1 has adequate ventilation. At least 1 empty rack space above AND below the chassis
will allow fresh air to circulate around the unit.
