Under-desk mounting

In addition to using the MPA 181T unit on a rack or projector, it can also be mounted under furniture (or under a desk). Mount the unit by using the optional mounting kit (part #70-077-01) for furniture, as follows:

1.

Attach the mounting brackets to the amplifier with the

 

machine screws provided (figure 2-3).

2.

Hold the amplifier with the attached brackets against the

 

underside of the table or other furniture. Mark the

 

location of the screw holes of the bracket on the mounting

 

surface.

3.

Drill 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, 1/4" (6.3 mm)

 

deep in the mounting surface at the marked screw

 

locations.

4.

Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten

 

each screw into the mounting surface until just less than

 

1/4" of the screw head protrudes.

5.

Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets

 

and place the interface against the surface, with the

 

screws through the bracket slots.

6.

Slide the unit slightly forward or back, then tighten all

 

four screws to secure it in place.

Projector mounting

In addition to mounting the MPA 181T unit to a rack or under furniture, it can also be projector mounted using the optional kits PMK 350 (part #70-563-02, -03) or PMK 300 (part #70-374- 01). See figures 2-4 and 2-5 on the following page.

To projector mount the MPA 181T, do the following:

1.

If necessary, remove the feet from the bottom of the device

 

to be installed.

2.

Mount the MPA 181T to one of the bracket’s three

 

mounting plates. The device can be horizontally mounted

 

facing either up or down, whichever is most convenient.

 

See the illustrations on the following page.

Use two supplied 4-40 x 3/16 screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the device to the bracket.
