Installation
The MX120 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 four feet
may be removed from the bottom of the MX120 when it is
custom installed as outlined below. The four feet together
with the mounting screws should be retained for possible
future use if the MX120 is removed from the custom instal-
lation and used free
standing. The required
panel cutout, ventila-
tion cutout and unit
dimensions are
shown.
Always provide
adequate ventilation
for your MX120.
Cool operation en-
sures the longest pos-
sible operating life for
any electronic instru-
ment. Do not install
the MX120 directly
above a heat generat-
ing component such
as a high powered
amplifier. If all the
components are in-
stalled in a single
cabinet, a quiet run-
ning ventilation fan
can be a definite asset
in maintaining all the
system components at
the coolest possible
operating tempera-
ture.
A custom cabinet
installation should
provide the following
minimum spacing di-
mensions for cool op-
eration. Allow at least
2 inches (5.08cm)
above the top, 2
inches (5.08cm) be-
low the bottom and 1

that airflow is not obstructed. Allow 21 inches (53.34cm)
depth behind the front panel. Allow 1 inch (2.54cm) in front
of the mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out
a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to the di-
mensions in the drawing.
