Allegro MX-1: An Overview

• By tilting the jukebox backwards onto a cart, you risk placing the weight of the jukebox on the 

heat sinks of the 2 amplifiers, which may cause them to dislodge from their mountings on the 
service tray and become vulnerable to subsequent damage

supply.

.

Do Not Rest Jukebox on its Front or Back

Never Place a Load on the Power Supply and Amplifier Heat Sinks.

To provide optimum cooling capability, the heat sinks of the Allegro MX-1’s power supply and 
two digital audio amplifiers are on the exterior of the cabinet (mounted on the service tray at the 
rear).

When transporting the Allegro on the bed of a pickup truck or the floor of a van, always slide the 
unit on its transport rails into the vehicle, and let the weight of the cabinet rest solely on the 
transport rails. Do not introduce any obstacles between the vehicle’s floor and the cabinet that 
may cause the cabinet to rest on the heat sinks of the amplifiers or power supply.

When transporting the Allegro MX-1:

1. Turn off the system power switches on the Allegro MX-1’s computer and internal power 

supply.

 

 

 

NEVER LAY THE CABINET ON ITS BACK AND TRANSPORT IT WITH A HAND CART 
BENEATH IT!
