INSTALLING THE JBL BASSQ PROCESSOR

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

Installation of the JBL BassQ unit is a straightforward process.

IMPORTANT:

The JBL BassQ unit must be installed following the directions below.

Always put amplifiers on the bottom of a stack. Heavy equipment should not be supported solely by the front- mounting locations.

1.The JBL BassQ unit has been designed to be mounted in EIA-standard racks, or stacked freestanding. If the unit is being mounted in a rack, it is recommended that its feet be removed prior to installation. If it will be stacked with other components, use the feet that came attached to the unit. This will ensure that there is sufficient space underneath so that heat can be dissi- pated effectively. Two rack ears are included with the JBL BassQ unit.

To install these rack ears, remove the two machine screws on each of the two side panels (see drawing), hold each rack ear in place, and attach it to the unit using the same two screws. Make sure that these screws are securely tightened.

2.Make sure that the unit is located in a well-ventilated, cool area. If it is installed inside a cabinet that is enclosed on all sides, the front of the cabinet must remain open to allow sufficient flow-through ventilation to avoid overheating.

3.With the help of another person to guide the unit into the rack, gently slide the JBL BassQ unit into place. Align the rack mounting holes to the rack ears of the equipment rack.

4.Starting with the bottom two screw holes and using two of the rack screws and plastic washers (if sup- plied with your rack), secure the JBL BassQ unit into the rack. It may be necessary to have a helper hold up the rear of the unit until you have started the threads of the screws.

Once the bottom mounting screws are installed, move to the top mount- ing screws. Once done, check and tighten all four screws. Always use all four screws when mounting any equipment.
