Installation
The MA6850 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a
piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The required
panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are
shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MA6850.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life
for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MA6850
directly above a heat generating component such as a high
powered amplifier. If all the components are installed in a
single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a defi-
nite asset in maintaining all the system components at the
coolest possible operating temperature.

A custom cabinet installation should provide the follow-
ing minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation. Allow
at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) above the top and 1 inch (2.54
cm) on each side of the amplifier, so that airflow is not ob-
structed. Allow 21 inches (53.3 cm) depth behind the
mounting panel, which includes clearance for connectors.
Allow 1-1/8 inches (2.9 cm) in front of the mounting panel
for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in
the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the
drawing.
NOTE: In Europe, if the MA6850 is custom mounted, an
additional ventilation opening of 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) in
height, running the full width of the front panel, needs to
be directly above the front top of the MA6850.
