HEAT GENERATION AND DISSIPATION
All power used by a loudspeaker system is eventually
converted to heat dissipated by amplifiers and drivers.
Acoustic power is absorbed and converted to heat by air
and acoustic materials.
Installation and Cooling Requirements
In Sleep and Idle modes, all heat is dissipated towards
the back of the Audio Module. When playing audio, heat
is dissipated with a 60/40 front/back spread.
COOLING AND AIR FLOW
REQUIREMENTS
The internal components of the Electronics Package are
actively cooled by eight temperature-controlled fans.
To provide adequate cooling capabilities, the back of the
Audio Module is required to have access to cool air and
may not be sealed by surrounding infrastructure.
CLEARANCE REQUIRED AT THE BACK
For connectors and cable dress, there must be at least
100 mm clearance on the back of an Audio Module.
To prevent overheating, ensure
sufficient airflow around the
back and sides of the Electronics
Package. Do not block the intake
fans at the bottom nor the exhaust
cooling vents on the sides. Do not
dress cables in front of intake fans
or exhaust cooling vents.
