Attaching the D-Show Main Unit and
Sidecars (Optional)
The D-Show Main unit and any Sidecars can be fastened to-
gether for storage, transportation and setup as a unit, or left as
free-standing units.
Sidecars can be attached to the right or the left side of the
Main unit.
D-Show consoles should be fastened together only by an au-
thorized technician.
In addition to the included hex wrenches, the following tools
are required to attach D-Show units:
• #1 Philips screwdriver
• #2 Philips screwdriver (normal length)
• #2 Philips screwdriver (short length) for tight spaces
• Small, flat head screwdriver for lifting top panels
The process of attaching D-Show consoles will at times require
two or more people to move the console.
To attach a Sidecar to a Main unit or to another Sidecar:
1
Turn off the power and remove the power cable from each
unit.
2
Place the units side-by-side on a flat, level work surface, ar-
ranged as you want to fasten them together.
3
Remove the 5 external hex screws in the plastic side cap on
the facing side of each unit.
4
Remove the hex screws on the 3 top panels (fader panel, en-
coder panel, and meter bridge panel) on the facing side of
each unit. Be sure to keep the panel screws.
