Note: The rack mounting and desk/wall mounting components
described and illustrated in Sections 4.1 to 4.3 are not supplied
with PowerZone Connect amplifiers but are available to purchase as
accessories. Contact your amplifier re-seller for more information.
4.1 PowerZone Connect Mounting
The PowerZone Connect amplifiers are shipped without rack
mount hardware attached but can be configured for rack
installation using one standard rack ‘ear’ and one half-rack
extension piece as illustrated in Diagram 3a. The installation
and equipment rack should be configured to provide
appropriate ventilation airflow space around the sides and
rear of the amplifier as illustrated in as illustrated in Diagram
1a. Ventilation airflow space of at least 25 mm (1 in) should
be maintained along at least one side of the amplifier at all
times. Ventilation apertures are also located on the rear panel
of the amplifier and must not be obstructed. It is important to
retain at least 80 mm (3.1 in) free space for airflow behind the
amplifier rear panel.
In addition to rack mount ears, optional rack mount rear
support hardware is available and can be attached to the
amplifier. Rear support hardware may be appropriate if
the amplifier is to be used in a mobile rack or potentially be
subject to significant movement. Diagram 3b illustrates the
use of rack mount rear support hardware.
Multiple PowerZone Connect amplifiers can also be
mechanically connected using accessory connecting plates.
Diagram 3c illustrates the use of connecting plates.
