Where to put it
The MC830 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.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MC830.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating
life for any electronic instrument. Do not install
the MC830 directly above other 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 definite asset in
maintaining all the system components at the coolest
possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the
following minimum spacing dimensions for cool
operation (See Figure 02 on page 4):
•
6 inches (15.3cm) above the top
•
5/8 inches (1.6cm) below the bottom
•
2 inches (5.1cm) on each side of the MC830 so
that airflow is not obstructed
•
18 inches (45.7cm) depth behind the front panel
•
1-7/16 inch (3.7cm) in front of the mounting
panel for knob clearance
