proximity to the unit if this temperature is not exceeded. Otherwise, allow a 1RU
(1.75”/44.45mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation.
Sympathetic Vibration
Sympathetic vibration from other equipment (cables, etc.) in the rack may be
serious enough to interfere with the unit’s sound quality. If you experience
sympathetic vibrations, use thin card stock, felt, foam, or weather-stripping
between the vibrating surfaces. Tie loose cables securely with cable ties.
Mechanical Bracing
Both the 1RU chassis and the 2RU chassis are securely attached to the front panel.
In addition, the chassis has mounting tabs through which you attach it to the rack
rail. This feature will reduce or eliminate rear bracing requirements in many
mobile/portable applications. The weight of internal components is distributed fairly
evenly around the unit.
Electrical Interference
Be careful to avoid mismatched cable types and other similar causes of undesired
reflections in digital signal systems. If severe enough, such reflections can result in
corruption of the digital data stream. As with any audio equipment, maximum
immunity from electrical interference requires the use of shielded cable; however,
satisfactory results can sometimes be obtained without it. The internal circuitry
ground is connected to the chassis.
Power
The unit comes with a standard external 18 VDC / 3.9 A power supply that connects
to an AC mains power source (100 to 240 VAC, 1.5A, 50/60Hz) using an IEC power
cord.
When the mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the
disconnect device should remain operable.
Compliance
FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
Important
:
Heat generated by the class D power amplifiers, power supplies,
and other components is vented by slots in the sides and back of
the unit. Therefore, as a safety precaution, you must allow proper
ventilation on these surfaces.
