Mounting

 

Rack Mounting

When stacking equipment in a rack, the mixer should either be on the bottom of the stack or above equipment that does not produce heat. A rack mount bracket kit (model RPK87) is available for the Power Vector mixer.

Shelf/Table Mounting

When using a shelf or table mount, the mixer should stand alone with no equipment on top of it or below it. If the mixer must be stacked with other equipment, care must be taken to ensure that all the minimum clear- ance distances are met and that the equipment below the mixer produces little significant heat. Rubber feet are installed on the mixer to allow it to be placed on a tabletop.

Module Installation

Eight module bays are available to accept Bogen’s new advanced input modules. Module bays 7 & 8 can also accommodate Bogen’s new advanced output modules, thereby allowing users to customize the mixer to suit the needs of the installation. (The bays will not accept Bogen’s older style plug-in modules.)

Before installing a module, read the instructions included with the module and make the desired jumper setting changes.

The modules are installed by simply sliding them along the card guides inside the module bays until the faceplate firmly sits against the chassis, then use the two screws supplied with the module to secure it to the chassis.

- CAUTION -

DO NOT FORCE MODULES

• Modules should slide in easily.

• Output modules will not fit in bays 1-6.

• Output modules can only be installed in bays 7 & 8.

• Output modules have 8 contacts on each side.

Input modules have 6 contacts on each side.

Older style Bogen input modules (41/2" in length) are not usable.
