DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM
Box Contents
Your DAB1 Home Audio System box should contain the following items:
Unpacking
Save the shipping carton and polystyrene inserts so you can safely transport your DAB1 in the future. Before you install
the DAB1, locate the serial number on the rear panel and note it here for future reference: S/N:
Placement
The DAB1 should be installed at the main termination of all audio system wire and cable runs. The system’s source
components (CD player, iPort™/iPod
®
, music server, satellite radio receiver, etc) should also be installed at this location.
The DAB1 may be placed on a shelf in a wall unit in a media room or rack-mounted in a 19” standard equipment rack in
a dedicated equipment room. When determining the location for the system components consider having access to the
system for loading CDs, DVDs and other media. You should also make provisions for easy access if the components should
require service.
Ventilation and Airflow
The DAB1 must be placed in a location that will allow sufficient airflow for ventilation. Leave space above the unit, per the
safety instructions, to allow the unit to “breathe” through the vent holes on the top and bottom of the unit. Blocking the
vent holes will inhibit airflow through the unit and can cause damage to the DAB1. If necessary, install a fan to maintain
enough airflow to ensure adequate convection cooling.
Be sure to leave plenty of room for wire and cable. The amount of wire used in this type of installation can quickly
fill the empty space around the DAB1 and act as a thermal insulator. This can create an undesirable thermal
condition that could cause the unit to shut down. Leaving extra room for wire and cable is also a good idea if you ever
want to upgrade the system or if it ever needs service.
General Placement Guidelines
• Keep the DAB1 out of direct sunlight and away from windows that could let in rain.
• Place the DAB1 away from heat sources such as hot air ducts or radiators.
• Do not place the DAB1 directly on carpet that could interfere with airflow into its bottom vent openings.
• If you stack your components, it is better to place the DAB1 above or alongside your other components.
When driven hard, the DAB1 creates heat that can affect components stacked on top of it.
