Installation
The MC162 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a
piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The required
panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are
shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MC162.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life
for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MC162
directly above a heat generating component such as a high
powered amplifier. If all the components are installed in a
single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a defi-
nite asset in maintaining all the system components at the
coolest possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the follow-
ing minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation. Allow
at least 2 inches (5.1cm) above the top and 1 inch (2.54
cm) on each side of the amplifier, so that airflow is not ob-
structed. 21 inches (53.3cm) depth behind the mounting
panel, which includes clearance for connectors. Allow 1-1/
8 inches (2.9cm) in front of the mounting panel for knob
clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the
mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the drawing.
NOTE: In Europe, if the MC162 is custom mounted, an
additional ventilation opening of 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) in
height, running the full width of the front panel, needs to
be directly above the front top of the MC162.
