The MA6300 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet may be removed from the bottom of the MA6300 when it is custom installed as outlined below. The four feet togeth- er with the mounting screws should be retained for pos- sible future use if the MA6300 is removed from the custom installation and
used free standing. The required panel
cutout, ventilation cutout and unit
dimensions are
shown. Always provide ad-
equate ventilation for your MA6300. Cool operation
ensures the longest possible operating
life for any elec- tronic instrument. Do not install the MA6300 directly above a heat gen- erating component such as a high powered amplifier. If all the compo- nents are installed in a single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in maintaining all the system compo- nents at the coolest possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the follow- ing minimum spac- ing dimensions for cool operation.
