The PSU15 can be rack-mounted or hung from a truss with a pair of “Rack Ears” brackets fastened with 3 x M5 FH/CS screws 
onto each side or on the top of each side. 

 

 

 

The PSU-300 has a unique Magic Box interlocking enclosure which facilitates easy rack mounting when used in pairs and easy 
truss mounting via captive nut insert.  

For truss mounting, we recommend the use of a ½”-13UNC x ¾” long bolt to avoid damage. 

Rack mounting brackets are available in single unit and dual unit versions.
