UNPACKING YOUR MODEL 2100 AND PLACEMENT GUIDLINES
Rack Mounting Your Parasound Model 2100
With its four feet removed, the Model 2100’s front panel height occupies two rack spaces
(3-1/2” or 88.2 mm; a single standard rack space occupies 1-3/4” vertical space.) For mounting in
a standard 19” equipment rack, you must use the Parasound RMK22 rack mount kit (purchased
separately). The RMK22 includes four bolts and eight plastic washers with raised “shoulders.”
Slide one washer onto each mounting bolt with its raised shoulder pointing toward the panel hole.
Carefully insert the bolt through the hole and slide the other washer on the bolt with its raised
shoulder facing the rear side of the panel. The washers will sandwich the Model 2100 panel and
the four mounting bolts to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the Model 2100 chassis, the
equipment rack, and the other components mounted in the rack.
Note:
Tighten each bolt just enough to keep the unit secure in the rack to avoid deforming the
shoulder washers. Eliminating metal-to-metal contact reduces the likelihood of creating a ground
loop that might introduce hum into your system.
