INSTALLATION
Mounting
The amplifier is two-rack unit's high (2U) and will mount in a standard EIA
19" rack. Amplifiers may be stacked directly on top of each other; there is
no need for spacing between units. If it is the intention to fill a rack with
amplifiers, we recommend racking be started from the bottom of the rack. It
is also recommended that rear supports be used for amplifiers, especially if
used as part of a portable system.
Cooling
Your amplifier uses forced air-cooling to maintain an even operating
temperature. All Martin Audio E series amplifiers have rear to front cooling.
Never try to reverse the airflow, as the amplifier needs a pressure chamber
between the fans and the heatsink and this only operates in one direction
of the airflow.
Warning: never rack different brands of amplifiers
together with opposing airflow characteristics.
Make sure that there is adequate air supply at the rear of the amplifier and
that the front of the amplifier has sufficient space at the front to allow the
exhaust to escape. If the amplifier is rack mounted, do not use covers or
doors on the front and rear of the rack. For fixed installations with a central
cooling system, and dedicated rack room, it may be necessary to calculate
the maximum heat emission. See page 13.
