Modular Amplifiers

 The Crestron

®

 Modular Amplifier Series can be configured for individual module use on a flat surface or 

ganged together (one or more modules) with the “slide-lock” system for installation in a 1U rack space. 
The amplifiers are functionally similar to each other with varying capabilities. For simplicity within this 
guide, the term “amplifier” is used except where noted. 

DO 

Assemble the Device

If a single amplifier is to be used on a flat surface, refer to “Placing onto a Flat Surface.” Otherwise, 
continue below for instructions on creating an amplifier assembly that can be placed in a standard 
equipment rack. The only tools needed are a #1 or # 2 Phillips screwdriver, and a 1/4" nut driver.

Gang Amplifiers Together

Perform the following procedure to gang amplifiers together. Refer to the diagrams.

1. Remove the two screws securing rail 1 to the amplifier (unit 1).

2. Remove rail 1 from unit 1 by sliding it off the side of the amplifier.

3. Attach rail 1 to unit 2 using the three included Phillips-head screws. Make sure that the screw holes 

on the underside of rail 1 are on the bottom.

NOTE:  

Do not remove rail 2.

4. Slide unit 1 into unit 2 assembly. 

5. Secure unit 1 to unit 2 assembly with the two screws removed in step 1.

6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for additional amplifiers.

Configure for Rack Installation

Before an amplifier can be installed in a rack, additional hardware must be installed.

Faceplates

If an amplifier or group of amplifiers is not wide enough to mount in a rack, faceplates can be assembled 
to “widen” the amplifier to fit. Create a faceplate by attaching an extrusion plate to a quarter-width or 
half-width rack ear, as shown in the following diagrams. Secure the extrusion plate to the rack ear using 
a 1/4" nut driver and the included nuts.

Attach Rack Ears to Amplifiers

Attach the faceplate bracket(s) or rack ears, as required, to the amplifier(s). Refer to the following 
diagram for details.

NOTE:

 Faceplates should not be attached to rack ears that are attached to the length of the amplifier.

DO

 Install the Device

Once assembled, the amplifier can be mounted into a rack, mounted onto a flat surface, or placed onto 
a flat surface. 

Mounting into a Rack

Each amplifier occupies 1U of rack space. Using a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver, mount the device into 
the rack using four mounting screws (not included).

Mounting onto a Flat Surface

1. Install the wall mount brackets with three Phillips-head screws (included) per side. 

2. Secure the amplifier to a flat surface using four mounting screws (not included).
