Vital 710 Air Flow Requirements
AIR FLOW
The SpeakerCraft Vital 710 is designed to run cool under most normal operating conditions. However, closed
spaces such as equipment cabinets and racks can get hot with the heat generated by microprocessors and
motors in various devices. Providing proper ventilation for good air flow will help keep the temperature down
and protect not only the Vital 710 but all system components and help preserve their longevity.
When installing the Vital 710 a few easy steps should be taken to assure proper air flow:
1.
Never block the vent holes on the top or bottom of the Vital 710.
2.
Never remove the feet on the bottom of the Vital 710.
3.
Leave at least 2 inches above and 1 inch on each side of the Vital 710 for free air flow.
4.
Whenever possible, provide vent holes in the shelf under the Vital 710 to increase air flow into the bottom of
the unit.
5.
Leave the back of the cabinet as open as possible for good air circulation.
6.
Place other system components on separate shelves.
7.
Install fans in cabinets and racks when equipment is generating high heat levels.
