CE-Series Amps with an Attitude!
2 Detailed Install
Follow these instructions for a detailed explanation of CE-Se-
ries installation procedures and options. If you just want to get
up and running as quickly as possible, see the Quick Start
section on page 6.
2.1—Begin with the amplifier turned off and disconnected
from the power receptacle. The CE-Series power switch
is located on the left side of the front panel; it is OFF when
depressed on the left. Equipment that will be connected
to the inputs of the amplifier (such as mixers,equalizers or
signal processors) should also be turned off.
2.2—Mount the amplifier. Your
CE-Series amp can be
mounted in a standard, 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment
rack, or it can be simply stacked with other equipment.
And since your
CE-Series amp is not as deep as many
amplifiers (only 12.25 inches (31.11 cm) behind the front
panel), you can also mount it in the shallow, wall-mount
racks.

Mounting
Dimensions
If you choose to mount your amp in a rack, you should
secure the back of the rack as well as the front. Securing
the amp at both front and rear will assure that the amp
stays in place, even when the rack is transported or acci-
dentally dropped (which we know never happens).
