SPECIAl AMPlIFIER CONSIDERATIONS FOR RACK MOUNTING
OR CUSTOM CABINET INSTAllATIONS
Fathom IWS amplifiers are designed to be “built-in” friendly. All typically
needed controls are located on the front panel. A Fathom IWS amp can be easily
integrated into an equipment rack or custom cabinetry by following a few simple
guidelines.
1) Allow adequate clear space around the Fathom IWS amp’s side-mounted
heatsinks for adequate cooling. Also allow space behind the amp for
connector clearance.
2) The Fathom IWS amp ships ready to be mounted in a standard
equipment rack.
3) The Fathom IWS amplifier also includes table-top hardware. Special front-
panel end covers that replace the rack ears and rubber feet are included
with the IWS amp. To use the amp on a table top, simply remove the hex
screws that attach the rack ears and then install the covers. The rubber
feet screw into threaded holes in the bottom of the amplifier case.
4) While the Fathom IWS amp generally runs only warm during spirited operation,
we do recommend that adequate heat vents are included in any custom cabinet
which encloses the Fathom IWS amp. A pair of 3 inch (7.5 cm) diameter
vents near the bottom of the cabinet and near the top of the cabinet, will allow
cool air to circulate over the heatsinks of your Fathom IWS amp keeping it cool
and happy.
