The MSD4 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, stand-
ing 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 MSD4.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for
any electronic instrument. Do not install the MSD4 directly
above a heat generating component such as a high powered
amplifier. If all the components are installed in a single cabi-
net, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in
maintaining all the system components at the coolest pos-
sible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the follow-
ing minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation. Allow
at least 1-1/2 inches (3.8cm) above the unit so airflow is
not obstructed. Allow 17-1/2 inches (44.5cm) depth behind
the mounting panel, which includes clearance for connec-
tors. 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.
