HINT: If mounting the
Sd-25
in a hard-to-reach loca-
tion, use the pots to set the
ʻ
worst case
ʼ
maximum
volume for the speakers as it is being hung. When
you climb down off the ladder, then use the Apple
remote to set the final audio levels.
Sd-25 Installation:
The
Sd-25
can be mounted using two screws on 2-
1/4” centers; 2-3/4” Augat
ʻ
Snap-Track
ʼ
(which itself
can be DIN rail mounted); using DIN rail adapters;
or just Velcro
ʼ
d down. In many applications, the
Sd-
25
can be attached on (or in) the speakers it is feed-
ing. The
Sd-25
must not be mounted where it might
get wet, or suffer from extremes of temperature.
The optional DIN rail mounts just snap onto the back
of the
Sd-25
. Once they are snapped on, they are
wicked hard to get back off.
The Sd-25 has two 0.156” (4mm) diameter mounting
holes. You can use these if you are just screwing the
unit down:

An
Sd-25
is just the right size to fit into a four x four
J-Box (standard electrical junction box typically used
to mount two duplex electrical outlets). Run 12 to 24
vdc in to power the unit, and conduit to where your
speakers are mounted. Then put a
ʻ
blank
ʼ
cover
onto the J-Box. No one will ever guess that this little
J-Box is where the audio system is hiding. If no one
knows where it is, unauthorized personnel are un-
likely to mess with it.
Zoos, water parks and miniature golf courses often
mount their
Sd-25s
in this way in the landscaping
.
They just use outdoor-rated J-Boxes and conduit.
Museums, retail stores and other indoor venues of-
ten mount them this way, since they don
ʼ
t need to
dedicate an electrical closet to holding a traditional
rack mounted sound system.
If the
Sd-25
is to be mounted in an enclosure to pro-
tect it from weather, it should be mounted in a
shaded location so that the sun hitting the case di-
rectly won
ʼ
t overheat it.
Unless the amplifier is being run at extreme output
levels, the
Sd-25
will generate very little heat. At-
taching it to something metal will allow it to dissipate
what little heat it does generate.
