Installation
IMPORTANT:
As with any electrical device that produces heat, it is very important that the unit is located in a position where it will receive adequate
ventilation. Under no circumstances should the ventilation slots at the top and rear of the unit be obstructed. If the unit is to be
mounted in a cabinet, ensure that cool air can circulate when the doors are closed. Ventilation slots or holes should be provided at
the top of any enclosed compartments enabling warm air to be expelled. The minimum requirements for the internal enclosure
dimensions are 500mm wide by 300mm high by 500mm deep.
Before placing the MRA-4 or MRA-2 on a shelf, ensure that the shelf can support the total weight of the equipment on it. Each MRA
amplifier weighs nearly 12kg and may need to be placed on a separate shelf if using more than one unit. It is also not recommended
to stack any more than three Systemline components, S4.3 or MRA units on top of one another.

Using the MRA-4 and MRA-2 with non Systemline sources
The MRA-4 and MRA-2 have been designed for all custom install applications where high performance and features are demanded. Both
units will interface to most line level outputs from audio sources and source control products. If required it is even possible to connect
sources such as a CD player directly to the LINE IN sockets and have a fixed volume, or if the CD player has a variable output or is connected
via a Pre-Amplifier then variable volume is possible.
