e.g. rain, excessive humidity or steam, oil steam or splashes or
knocked over liquids (e.g. Drinks)
- no additional heat will have an impact to the unit

5.1.
Rack mounting
D6 amplifier enclosures are designed to fit into a standard 19"
equipment rack or cabinet.
When specifyinga rack, be sure to allow extra depth (10 cm / 4" is
usually sufficient) to accommodate the cables and connectors at the rear
of the amplifier.
When mountingamplifiers into a 19" rack cabinet, do not just rely on
fixingand supportingamplifiers by their front panels. Provide additional
support ...
- using shelves fixed to the inner sides of the cabinet
- or the mountingholes provided on the amplifier rear mounted rack
ears.
This advice is particularly important if amplifiers are beingracked up for
touring use.

Please ensure, whatever the mountingor rackingarrangement, that
adequate cool airflow is provided to avoid a build-up of hot air inside
the rack leadingto overheating. When settingup the amplifier, do not
block or cover the rear panel air intake or the vents on the front panel
of the amplifier.
If amplifiers are installed in cabinets we recommend usingadditional fan
modules with front mounted filters that can be easily replaced without
opening the sealed cabinets.
