3.1 Unpack Your Amplifier

YOU WILL NEED (not supplied):

•

Input wiring cables 

•

Output wiring cables 

Rack for mounting amplifier (or a stable surface 
for stacking)

WARNING: Before you start to set up 
your amplifier, make sure you read and 
observe the Important Safety Instruc-
tions found at the beginning of this man-
ual.

3.2 Install Your Amplifier

CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure 
your amplifier is disconnected from the 
power source, with power switch in the 
“off” position and all level controls 
turned completely down (counterclock-
wise).

Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment 
rack. See Figure 3.1 for amplifier dimensions. 

You may also stack amps without using a cabi-
net.

NOTE: When transporting, amplifiers should be 
supported at both front and back.

3.3 Ensure Proper Cooling

When using an equipment rack, mount units 
directly on top of each other. Close any open 
spaces in rack with blank panels. DO NOT 
block front or rear air vents. The side walls of 
the rack should be a minimum of two inches 
(5.1 cm) away from the amplifier sides, and the 
back of the rack should be a minimum of 4 
inches (10.2 cm) from the amplifier back panel.
