Installation

Ventilation

The M-Class was designed to be placed on a table or rack-mounted.When rack mounted, the amplifiers can be stacked one on top of the other for maximum use of the rack.

An open air space of at least 4" must be provided at the front air intakes of the amplifier, and the rear exhaust must have at least a 4" gap from any obstructions to ensure adequate cooling. This applies to both rack- and table-mounted amplifiers.

Care should also be taken to ensure that the front intake air is not considerably warmer than the ambient air temperature. Mount the amplifiers low in the rack so that heat dissipation from other equipment does not warm the amplifier's intake air.

Rack Mounting

Rack ears are included with the amplifier to allow mounting in 19" racks. Attach the rack ears as shown in the Installation Components section. If any feet have been attached to the bottom of the amplifier, remove them. Load the amplifier into the rack and secure it to the rack with appropriate hardware (not included).

Rear Rack Mounting

For greater rear support when rack mounting an M-Class amplifier, the RPK86 Rack Mounting Kit (not included) can be attached to the rear of the amplifier by following the steps below.

1.Remove and save the three cover screws from the chassis of the amplifier.

2. Position the rack attachment as shown.

3.Replace and tighten the three cover screws to secure the rack attachments.

Table Mounting

Feet are provided with the amplifier to allow it to be placed on a tabletop. Attach the included feet to the bottom of the amplifier as shown. Attachment of the rack ears to the unit is option- al and purely aesthetic for table mounting.
